Yes, The pellet & spring go down. Fill the rad. to about2 in. bellow the top when cold. The coolant expands when it warms up & will be a little bellow the top. If you need to vent the system loosen the heater hose from the therm houseing & let the air out till coolant comes out. You probably will not have to vent it though. The top hose should be warmer then the lower hose & you should only be able to hold on to it for 2-3 seconds. The heater hose should be hot as well.
