Electric fans won't automatically solve overheating if you don't have any coolant, a 3 row radiator won't help either if there's no coolant. I have both, when things work properly, the car stays cool ( at the middle or slightly higher all the time )

I've done this to make sure the radiator is filled enough...
Fill radiator body till water covers the tubes.
Start car with radiator cap off, let engine warm up, water starts flowing in radiator, rev engine a bit... add a bit more to cover tubes. close radiator cap, make sure the overflow tank is 1/2 filled. Rev engine a bit more. Turn car off. Let it sit (wait for it to cool off, with out electric fan this takes a while). This is when it sucks up water from the overflow tank. Do that a couple times and the engine should have enough coolant. It's important tocheck the level of the overflow tank when the engine's warmed up, otherwise you might overflow it when the engine heats up.


I haven't had to bleed the engine block.
