There are 2 Allen head bleed screws on the engine (near the top and bottom radiator hoses) in addition to the bleed port on the radiator and the heater matrix.

First bleed the radiator, then the 2 on the engine and then the heater.

I usually repeat the sequence after running the engine for about a minute.
