coolant issues, or rebuild required? :S

Neat little gizmo. I need to build something like that and like the Fighters Garage Turbo testing kit.

You might be able to borrow a tool that accomplishes the same thing from autozone or advanced that allows you to remove the radiator cap and pressurize the system without removing anything else. I have one. It's worth it's weight in ............ silver?

Rx-7fetish,

I can hear the fan engage and when the engine gets up to temp. Also, while topping off the coolant with the engine running and the heater on full I could see the coolant flowing by. And the engine does not overheat before loosing coolant :S

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Dave.

TitaniumTT,

I think you may have hit the nail on the head - I will head out today and see about obtaining something to add some pressure. Thanks to N.RotaryTech for the images - if I can not beg, borrow, or steal something that replaces the rad cap I`ll be building something similar

I`ll keep you guys updated - good or bad...

Dave.
