The system (what I know of it... dad designed, died 9 years ago):
2 oil fired boilers
baseboard heaters in 4 zones
about 17years old
have been having problem(s) off and on
with start up of boiler, lower floor rooms often experience loud banging (like sledge hammer on pipes/floor) adjusting thermostat will often stop (or closing zone)
Upper zone (from time to time) experiences "gurgling" adjusting thermostat will stop
have bled, but will only last week or so, then start again, need to be bled
small (5gal?) expansion tank... could that be bad / too small?

Got pictures???
We'd love to help, but your verbal description is not enough. We can use pictures (all angles available) and drawings if you can.
