thanks!
and is it pulling from the bottom or the top of the radiator?
I have a normal, single pass rad. Nothing fancy. The inlet is on the lower right and the outlet is on the upper left. 14” SPAL fans, PWM controlled with a C5 ‘Vette module from Rock Auto (connected to my Holley Dominator ECU).
what size bleeder lines are you guys using from the tank and from the radiator, i’m using 3/8” ID tubing with 3/8” barbs, should i change that to 1/4”?
I wouldn’t worry too much about the size of the lines, 3/8” seems fine… I used what was convenient to mate to the new hardline between the radiator upper corner and the expansion tank.
Same with the line from the swirl tank.
Since this design is “self-bleeding”, it is operating any time the engine is running.
Once it moves the air to the expansion tank, it’s job is done, and it’s just sucking water through. It doesn’t really need to move massive amounts of fluid…

with my heat issues i’m thinking the volume of water from one tank to the other through a short piece of 3/8” might be considerable, this would just be recirculated and not make it to the radiator.
how about 3/8 tube and hoses, BUT put an orifice (1/16 ?) somewhere to limit flow.
well shoot, it was a flow cooler

engine builder didn’t use sealant on the plate to block.. do i have to take the ac monte and blanche off now to replace that gasket?
doesn’t that look like a CCW impeller? and it should be CW?
shouldn’t it spin this way

Your arrow is the wrong direction. The impeller pushes the coolant into the two arms. It is a clockwise impeller.
Thanks!
