This weekend we pressure tested the cooling system and the upper reservoir tank was puking coolant into the overflow tank @ 4 psi. Not good! We thought it might be the seal of the radiator cap, but no that would be way too simple. I grabbed the one off the STI and we had the same issue.
I took a close look at the seat of the coolant tank to see if there was any debris or something that would prevent a good seal. Sure enough, there’s a hairline crack I didn’t notice earlier –that’ll do it.
Replaced the coolant tank with a ‘newer’ plastic one – looks like it belongs there – and problem solved. Holds pressure up to 16 psi.



Really trying to get the engine started soon!
This whole process sounds familiar Good upgrade!


Congrats on the start, Mike. Sounds great without the baffle!
