I tried this... looks to be pretty clear. The core was in near pristine condition when I took it out the other day. Once I put the water on, there was about a 2-3 second delay till I saw fluid coming out of the bottom port. After that, it took about 30 seconds to clear all the antifreeze out of the core, and flowed well throughout the test, and I put the hose up to both ports, and water flowed well going either direction. I think I got it bled correctly now.. I shut the screw when the fans were running. We'll see on the temperature of the cabin air tonight once the ambient temp outside goes down. I didn't turn the heat up and down.. It was set to full heat the whole test.
