From my dim memory:
I connected the motor to the circuit and ran the regulator to 1/2 position. Then I disconnected the regulator and fit the assembly inside the door while holding the window up. Then I threaded first one roller into the window track and slid it across and threaded the other...
If it's not indicating hot and if it's not overheating then you are done. No need to bleed a working system.
Air pockets can cause false temp gauge readings, so I emphasised the overheating.
Recheck the recovery tank level periodically for a few days.

Slow down there sonny boy, make sure you know what yer aiming at before you pull the trigger.
X2 on a cooling system pressure test before disassembly. If you think it blew into the combustion chambers, pull the plugs and check for dis-coloration of the plugs indicating water ingestion.

Me 2. I do like the concept though. I'm not a gadget freak, but if $50 bucks saves me a $5k motor rebuild, that's sound leveraging.
How about modifying the upper tank of the radiator and installing the sensor in a hardened point at the appropriate height for it to do it's job?

BTW, I think the intermittant bubbles are from the system cycling (reaching max cold and turning off for a minute) and yes, it's supposed to do that. Well done on your DIY recharge.

What Radd Cruisers said and you should be able to see the A/C system lubricating oil collecting near a big leak.
Throw another charge in it, run it and shut it off and listen with your best pair of ears. A three day leak is pretty obvious!
