This just came up in another thread, but I didn't want to hijack it too far... What kind of setup is needed to keep the coolant topped off and free of air pockets ? My guess is that a surge tank/reservoir/level sensor in the engine bay with the small vent tube connected to the high point (the aluminum water pipe on the engine) would take care of that area, and a bleeder valve of some sort at the top of the radiator up front. I'm assuming the top of the radiator is lower than the top of the engine, right ? Is this the kind of thing that once you bleed the system, everything is fine, or do you have to keep checking for air pockets ? |
