[Healeys] Radiator Shovel, continued

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Quite normal. Many older cars do thisBest to fit an overflow/expansion 
bottle or reservoir and an airtight seal on the rad cap. Fill up the 
radiator to the brim and the reservoi to about halfway. When the coolant 
gets hot or boils it will escape into the expansion reservoir. After 
cooling down the coolant will be drawn back into the radiator.
