I just read this on another board:
"Older cars that didn't have a recovery tank typically had oversized radiators, and you would only fill the radiator to about 2" below the cap. They ran just as hot, and the coolant expanded into the air space in the top of the radiator."
I've always filled the coolant all the way to the top. Of course, the second the engine warms up it always pisses it off. So, was I always adding too much coolant? Is it supposed to be filled to about 2" below the cap?
