You'd be surprised.
An easy way to make sure that there is no air bubble is to:
1: Drain the coolant to below the t-stat line.
2: Remove t-stat housing and gutted t-stat.
3. fill the water crossover with water until it is at the t-stat line.
At this point you could spin the water pump to see if the area from the intake manifold to the timing cover has fluid in it. or use a coat hanger to "stab" and air bubble if there was one.
Fart bubble in your butt is similar. Gotta move to pop it!!
