I dont think its possible to bleed it properly after the fact
I would drain & refill.

Sorry forgot to reply to this message. I believe I did bleed it properly using a tall funnel and squeezing the radiator hoses to get all the bubbles out. So far it's been amazing and both oil and coolant temps never go higher than they were NA (even though I have no oil cooler)

Also for anybody that has a similar issue with the fans, keep in mind that they don't turn on full power until 100C!
