  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Where's my coolant going???

Discussion in 'Small Block Tech' started by gospdgo, Nov 20, 2007.

    I have noticed that my coolant is always low (1/2 tank) when I check it periodically. No coolant in the oil or on my floor. What's up?

    Also, I notice that when I look into the radiator through the fill cap that there is a tube that runs up inside the radiator and ends about an inch before the top. What is this tube? Could my fluid be rising when its hot and spilling into this tube? If so, where the hell is it going? I have an overflow tank but never see any fluid in it.

    There should be a tube from the radiator to the coolent recovery tank. When there is too much heat and pressure, it is supposed to go into the tank. When the radiator cools down, the suction is supposed to pull the fluid back into the radiator. Some cars didn't have recovery tanks, and the fluid just drained onto the ground.

    When you say half full, do you mean the recover tank, or the radiator. That would be a lot of fluid loss if it's the radiator.

    The recovery tank, though, isn't supposed to be full. There should be a "full cold" line. That gives room for fluid to enter the tank without over flowing.

    May need a new radiator cap. Current one may not be holding the pressure and letting it escape out around cap.
    Does it drop to half and stay?
