Just remove the screw and top off from there... small funnel or i used a paper cup with one side of the rim pinched into a V.

 

Sounds good, I appreciate the help everyone. I'm gonna top off in the morning from the bleed screw and try again and if no joy I'll be replacing the thermostat with a T-pipe until a grey thermostat comes in next week, unless anyone can give me any long term disadvantages of doing so...
I'll let you know how it goes in the morning

 

 

Just called a bunch of local parts stores, a few of them can have one of the cheaper parts in assuming bleeding it again doesn't work. What do you mean by blocking the junction on top of the thermostat hose? Why would it have no purpose and how would I go about doing so?

 

If you replace T-stat With a T, you "HAVE TO" block the coolant flow from upper hose to the T that is placed instead of T-stat, in order for the the coolant to circulate trough radiator, otherwise most of the hot coolant will simply go back to engine instead of flowing trough radiator, so make sure to do so. (It will take a little longer to get to operating temp without T-stat, but since you are in warmer weather it is ok not to have one for a while)
And if it helped to lower your temp, then you know for sure the T-stat you have right now is bad.

 

Bleed it on a hill. The heater hoses can hold air. I always have a better bleed with it on a hill and the factory way of doing isnt always a guarantee.

 

I found jacking up the passenger side only works pretty good.
