We ended up doing at the same way as the e55. Pretty cool how sl55 has self bleed system. But it also causes the coolant to mix at 2 places! Instead of 1!

Exactly...

In case anyone is interested I think this guy was an A grade black smith or something in a past life, he and Tbal are also starting their own high end AMG fabrication shop - keep an eye out for it.
