Default Bleeding the coolent on 2002 S2000

I have decided to do a full engine swap. And i just heard that it is very difficult to bleed the coolent correctly. Can some please let me know what is the main difficulty. Or just send me a walkthrough of the process.

Thanks!
Matt

Bleeding it for air?

Just use a plug type funnel for radiators that you can buy at Kragen, but make sure it's the right type for your Honda, D and F types are different, i'm pretty sure S2K's are D-type.

It has a cap built into and basically you put it on, turn your car on and let the air bubbles come out and you will see the coolant start to rise up.

Once you see no more air bubbles, the car should be bled of air. Just make sure you keep an eye on it, because once it builds pressure it will start to overflow or spew upwards.

Thanks! I was told that it a little hard to get all of the air out. You makes it sound easy. Thanks
