I think the 45.5 valve and 45 seat would allow quick wear in and seating. This would have been in the '60s when my dad bought a Dodge Polara and that's all I ever thought about. -

This is a coolant recovery cap, see the two rubber seals? It allows coolant out if it exceeds the 13 PSI limit and stores it in the coolant recovery bottle. As long as the hose is submerged in the recovery bottle, when the air in the radiator cools and shrinks it will draw the expelled coolant right back into the radiator keeping it topped off. The radiator should be filled to the top when you check if working properly. All coolant expands when heated and after shut off the temperature inside the block can rise slightly above boiling and the pressure goes up before returning to normal. This is why an air space of an inch or so is used on regular radiators to allow for expansion. I used to top up a cup or so every week in the summer, but after installing the coolant recovery it's once a year. The recovery bottle should be about 1/2 full and the hose submerged. If coolant is being expelled as in a blown HG, the recovery bottle will over fill. You would notice this. -

I started early yesterday so I was a little more "Advanced" than usual when hitting the evening check on ratsun. It was a good thing though. The local brewery has a harborfront beer garden that overlooks the lobsterboats and bridges over the harbor. They have a large chiminea burning this time of year and the place is enclosed in plexiglass so it is warm (this is Maine). Anyways every other Tuesday is fiddleband night. Folks filter in after work and start fiddling away on a small stage. The circle grows as more people show up and they jam away mostly Irish tunes. There is probably 50 people watching which is a large gathering in Maine and every single one of them has a smile on thier face. This is like living a cheesy hallmark movie and my wife and I love it! We bitch and moan about how shitty this country is becoming but there are still some wonderful pockets of "civilization" out there. It's just getting harder to find. -

My oldest son got a Ruger 10/22 for his 14th birthday, mostly because it's what they shot with in Boy Scouts. Son #2 hated shooting it because he's left handed. 😄 A bolt-action might be the smarter play just because all your kids are lefties. -

Those are cheap enough.... Might be worth replacing.... I had one that would randomly let coolant out.... you could actually hear the spring pop open..... a new one solved my problem..... Looks like a factory radiator so auto parts store should have.... Just make sure when installing there is a little tension pushing back up when you push down.... Something I ran into with my radiator being an aftermarket aluminum was that a factory cap fit but wasn't long enough to seal the bottom opening....
