Quote: Yes, if you can see water flowing once the thermostat is open you should be fine. Just my opinion but, I do not think you really need the recovery tank. I mean, it couldn't hurt...but it isn't needed.
Agreed. No tank needed. Leave an inch or two from the neck to allow. Get a laser-thermometer at Harbor Freight or wherever to be sure of actual temp. 180 Superstat from Napa if it would need to be changed.
I have a laser thermometer. Would I just take a reading of the fluid temp that is flowing across the top of the radiator when the car is at operating temp?
What temp should I feel comfortable driving with? Under 205??? What temp difference should I see since I will be doing this at an idle with no air flowing through the radiator?
