Air in the cooling system

I have a 94 zj 4.0. just replaced everything that has to do with the cooling system, so I assume like every other car I ve had i have to get the air out but I can't find a bleeder valve? It gets hot when I am in traffic or stoped with the A/C on. With the A/C off the temp doesnt go over 190.

Burp the radiator. You can find directions on Google. Hope this helps. Good luck!

On my 4.0 cherokee, there was no bleeder valve. Had to raise the front end, open the cap, run the engine and tap all the rubber radiator hoses with a mallet to get the air out. I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but that worked for me as I didn't have a ton of air in the system.
