The car is located in Columbia MO, 65201. That's about half way between St. Louis and Kansas City, on HWY 70. 1275 Engine and Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:17:09 GMT westfield136 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2173 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2173 Not exactly. The post was not about which was best, or even my preference. It was about an incorrect installation of a critical component of the cooling Sat, 06 Jun 2009 16:44:30 GMT Martin Stuart http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2172 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2172 OK, whatever.... you're clearly happy with your header tank, and me and the world's motor industry are happy with a pressurised system and an expansion tank.

Even if Nissan did it. It just is not right as it doesn't allow the tank to do its job. Nissan didn't use the low mounted header tank on Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:47:38 GMT Martin Stuart http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2170 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2170 I agree, but as I previously explained, the expansion bottle arrangement I use on my Sylva allows me to demount the bottle an hold it a good couple of feet Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:48:29 GMT westfield136 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2169 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2169 I like the header tank. Bubbles are eliminated, and the coolant level can be checked by sight. Filling and replenishment is simple, and no bleed screws are Fri, 05 Jun 2009 06:03:06 GMT Martin Stuart http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2168 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2168 Fair comment, but make up your mind... is it a coolant recovery bottle, an expansion tank, or a swirl pot/header tank?! The Sylva is an expansion tank NOT a Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:40:55 GMT westfield136 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2167 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2167 THE SURGE TANK (AKA "HEADER TANK), IS NOT A COOLANT RECOVERY RESERVOIR.

It is a reservoir of coolant, and features coolant circulation, which expels Thu, 04 Jun 2009 02:00:10 GMT Bruce Heyne http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2164 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2164 I fabricated a bracket mounted to the frame just behind the right front wheel, in the "V". The coolant level is just above the top of the head, allowing 3/4
