Just replaced my heater core and now I have no heat, what did I do wrong. Should it work just after you hook up the hoses or do you have to pump air out of the system or something?

Also I have heard something about a reducer or a socket placed in one of the hoses to reduce flow, I didn't do this so how important is it and which hose do I put it in.

yeah, you will have to get the air out of it...but it shouldnt take that long. the restrictors you are talking about are a very good thing to have to keep the heater core from blowing out when you are getting on it. when i bought my car it already had them in it. check all your vacuum lines and whatnot to make sure that your actually pushing air through the heater core. i have that problem with mine. the heat isnt that hot if its really cold outside. but it gets hotter when the air outside gets hotter...?...dont know why

Is there some kind of process to get the air out, have been driving it for a while and still hasn't come out and I am pretty sure all the lines are connected.
