Re: Electric Fan to Manuel Fan

Original style radiator or cross flow?

Original style radiators have to have room left for expansion in the top tank. As Jwhotrod said, they tend to seek their own level.

I've see a guy have problems running a cross flow where the top of the radiator and the fill neck was actually below the top of the thermostat housing. Air got trapped in the engine and never did burp out until we installed an inline filler and radiator cap in the hose at the high point . That was A Chevy V8 in some sporty car it didn't belong in though.
