[QUOTE="SVTurbo 98, post: 12950220, member: 83648"] FWIW, when I would fill my old foxbody's coolant at the radiator, I was taught to always leave it about 2 or 3 inches below the filler neck to give it room to expand. I never had a problem doing it like that. :shrug: Also, with the cobra's old setup, if I would overfill the crossover, the upper radiator hose would expand to the point where I would worry about it blowing off of the metal pipes. It was almost a ballooning effect that obviously had a lot of pressure behind it. I drained a little bit of the coolant out of the system and it was fine. I imagine if I had a filler cap in the crossover it would've had more than enough pressure to leak. At this point I don't think it would hurt to try and run a little less coolant and just keep an eye on your temp gauge and see what happens...:shrug: [/QUOTE]
