- To make the system work, you need either a longer radiator neck, or a longer radiator cap to fit your stock radiator. All new radiator caps that you find at the stores have two way release valves. Ho

- Yes I have the return going to the bottom of the tank... I can only see this working if I take the gasket/spring pressure etc off the bottom of the cap that seals to the bottom of the neck? Seal ever

- That makes sense, I didn't know what the gasket was doing. Mine was done by the PO so I never had to deal with the specifics. _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Do

- Jeff, this question has come up with one of the other listers too. My answer was: When the engine cools down the fluid and trapped air in the engine and radiator will contract causing a vacuum. The r

- Respectfully, my closed system has worked fine with a stock filler neck and stock 7lb Moss brass rivet cap since 2005. When the engine cools down it sucks the overflow back into the radiator, where

- You could create a fully closed cooling system by using a plain radiator cap without the pressure valve, just to cover op the filler neck, and tighten up the pressure cap on the MG overflow tank. Th
