Small fat one?

I just opened the cap from the Overflow tank, and the damn thing was empty, I wonder if I had air trapped in the system......

Is it possible to put the thermostat in backwards? If so which way should it go?

Flow (is this correct for the 4v SC Cobra Motor?)

i know we have an electric pump for intercooler...do you have electric pump in place of water pump for engine?

did you fill from stove pipe?

I have a Meziere Electric - I filled up the res tank, drove around for 30 min.....no issues!

 

[hotcobra03]

you questioned if tstat could be backwards?

was there a problem before????

is there a way to test for flow movement being you have an electric pump?

Sounds like you didn't burp the system properly.

Search it and you will see it's common.

I know this isn't about topic really but I was having issues with my coolant system running to blower and I switched to this system from jpc racing and it works AWESOME !

after you drive it a couple of times. loosen the filler plug and burb it one more time. It can some times take two or three times to get all the air out. It also helps to have the front end slightly raised. This helps the air to rise to the front and exit the pipe.

Drove it twice since....no issues, just wanted to give an update......
