Default Air lock in heater core on classic imprezza

Water pipes expand a little when is engine fully up to temp, but when I turn sharply I get a blast of hot air in cockpit, air lock. I have bled water at inlet butterfly 4 or 5 times but I still think there is an air lock, any suggestions to move the air?

And when you refill, make sure the heater is set to hot, plus fill slowly, avoiding it gulping.
I use a funnel down that rear pipe off the header tank.
