Having trouble w/ the cooling system - everything is good until the digidash reads 181* (taken from the passenger head location) .... at that point coolant starts leaking past my radiator cap. I assume that's around the point when the thermostat begins to open (stock 195* t-stat)
I have a 1.5qt. canton on the passenger beam, the highest point in the system. I have it filled 1/2 way up
The -4 hose goes to the coolant bleed pipe on the engine
The 90* -8 hose on the back goes to the radiator top ports (it T's at the radiator and goes to both of the ports)
The -6 startlite hose goes down, under the crossbeam, then to a puke can on the passenger frame rail, filling from the bottom (which then vents to the ground from the top)
I also have a -10 hose from the bottom of my canton tank to a fitting on the stainless pipe that goes from the passenger side of the engine (after t-stat) to the lower passenger side of the radiator.
Also have the waterpump inlet and outlet hoses looped together.
When coolant comes leaking out of the cap my puke can is empty, so I can't figure out why, at 181* always (e.g., if digidash reads 176 it's leak free) coolant comes out of the cap. I'm thinking:
- bad cap (stant 16lb)
- I should be feeding teh bottom of the Canton tank to the driver side stainless pipe, not the passenger side (although I'm pretty sure this is incorrect)
- Canton reservoir is too small and when t-stat opens it fills up to the top and past the cap
- Instead of feeding the canton tank directly to the passenger pipe I should feed it to one of the heater connections (heater in/out) and plug the other?
