Bleed the cooling system carefully. Keep an eye on the coolant levels when cold. Don't open the expansion tank when it's hot, you're likely to get localised boiling in the 'head
 
This is what I do to ensure that there are no air pockets tn the cooling system .
Cut the bottom off a soft drink bottle (SDB) then remove rad cap and fit neck of the bottle into the radiator and seal to filler with insulation tape then start and run motor and water will expand as it gets hotter and any air trapped will show as bubbles in the SDB I also squeeze one of the hoses while the motor is running making sure to keep hand well clear of the belts to help remove all the trapped air
Make sure to keep coolant above the top of the radiator as needed
