Heh. It's obvious you read the page.
have YOU read the page? or perhaps the manuals for the car? read the manuals for process of bleeding air form coolant system. one says the ast does it, the other says "remove rad cap"
you decide which says which.

I read it but I don't understand the source of the miniscule bubbles.. That's a major issue for any vehicle.. There is a flaw in design somewhere if the coolant is getting bubbles on a sealed system no?
Otherwise all cars would have this..

The extremely hot bubbles cause localized overheating!!!!!

I think some of the reasoning behind its purpose is still up for debate. When I saw Pettit a while back they had eliminated the AST tank on their race car but the radiator was upright.

A radiator that is slanted forward at a fairly severe angle.
A radiator that is slanted forward at a fairly severe angle will not cause bubbles.
