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!!
Perhaps the most informative yet simple and abraisive yet sensitive (being a coated hanger, could be used as a pick up line ) post I've read in a long time!
