Default CH: convert from gravity to fully pumped

Pumping the return usually deals with this. Beware of difficulties
with connections though.

Make sure you know the score if you consider pumped return arrangement.
I inherited a system with pumped return and could not get it to perform.
With pump speed sufficient to heat the house in a reasonable time, there was
a serious issue with pump over into the header tank.
If you are intending to stick with a vented system rather than going sealed,
would recommend you opt for pump in the flow with make up water connection
close to vent.
