rear heat doesnt use the same core as front heat? and ya being a 3vze i was worried about exhaust gases going into the coolant causing airlock

Do a pressure test on the system and see if it can hold pressure. Find an auto parts store in your area, they should have them.
If it holds pressure, then try and backflush out your main heater core. Don't put crazy amounts of pressure through it or you can blow a seal on the core.
Then burp it again and see what happens.

nope different heater cores. like snobbs said check pressure and then flush it out back wards, i was having about the same problem and just used garden hose and flushed it backwards and it works great now.
