(or go to O'Reilly Auto Parts and search for Radiator Overflow Tank, and
pick the universal kind) I hid it under the fender on the driver side I
believe, you couldn't see it unless you stuck your head in the engine
compartment and knew where it was. Surprisingly effective. I just
ran a longer tube from the radiator to the overflow tank, made sure it was all
airtight, and not only did it overflow to the tank, it sucked it back when the
car cooled back down like it was supposed to.</font></div>

<div>Hmmmmmmmmm ... right after I sent this I realized ALL caps probably have
this valve, else the rad tank could collapse from the vacuum created as the
coolant cools down.<br></div>

<div>Don't the caps used with an overflow system require a check valve, to pull
the overflowed coolant back into the radiator as it cools?<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Dunno if you can find the right size cap for a Healey rad with such a check
valve.<br></div>

<div dir="ltr">Let it overflow. Once it reaches the level of about one inch below
the rim it will not over flow any more. But make sure you have the proper
radiator cap. Check with British Car Specialist as the depth which it seals is
deeper than the standard caps.<br>Rich Kahn<br>
