Default New Water Setup

Thought I'd post some pictures of rework to my cooling system after my expansion tank ended up looking like someone blew it up like a balloon while on the dyno. I was told the overflow had to be positioned after the thermostat not before. I wasn't totally convinced but I didn't want to take any chances.










Regards.

Best looking motor on this Forum. Are you happy with the operation of the Gilmer belt set up?

Hi Merv, I love the gilmer setup. I was really worried when you chose to dump the gilmer setup on your car in lieu of normal belts. I wondered if I should do the same. If I remember correctly you said you were told they weren't reliable. I've had no problems up to now and I noticed that the V8 Supercars run gilmer as well if that means anything!
Sambo, dust ? What dust?
Russ, it's good to see your still around the place.

Regards.

That is great Mando about your Gilmer. I fritzed an alternator with mine, even though I was careful about belt tension. They look and sound great, however.
