Hmmmmmmmmm ... right after I sent this I realized ALL caps probably have this
valve, else the rad tank could collapse from the vacuum created as the coolant
cools down.
D'oh.

Don't the caps used with an overflow system require a check valve, to pull the
overflowed coolant back into the radiator as it cools?
Dunno if you can find the right size cap for a Healey rad with such a check
valve.

Let it overflow. Once it reaches the level of about one inch below the rim it
will not over flow any more. But make sure you have the proper radiator cap.
Check with British Car Specialist as the depth which it seals is deeper than
the standard caps.

The BN6 does not have a radiator overflow and leaves a big puddle in the garage
after every drive.
My brother, the hot rodder, suggested a thin chromed overflow canister
available at most rod shops and amazon. I am not sure if there is enough room
and it would look to out of place.
Does anyone have a picture of an elegant and easy solution.
Thank you
