I installed an 87 engine when i did my engine swap. My old engine had a nipple coming from just under the Radiator cap (thermostat housing) the nipple went from there to the coolant over flow tank (near front bumber)
I no longer have this nipple.. and have been driving the car for about 2 months now.. in hot florida traffic, everyday. Do i NEED this nipple? Someone said i did. WHat happens when you do not have the overflow system installed? Thanks. Markus |
well if it gets too hot you might bust the water jacket from too much pressure or blow the rad or something i guess
just get a rad cap housing with the nipple |
you should have some sort of overflow thing. do you have the cap adapter from the old motor?

Yeah, my old motor is sitting at my mech. shop. I have to get ahold of him.. Just should i be worried about it busting?? I've been driving for 2 months now and it hasnt yet. so there's no reason i should RUSH..
But i just wanted to know if it was a needed item. I'll get one. (my old one) Thanks. Markus |
do waht i did... go to the local junkyard. walk around and say u want to buy an rx7 engine. find the car and come with necessary tools and take it off. then u got free Nippples hurray https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
