[V8Vairs] Second Reservoir for Olds V8

[GnKHOFFMAN at aol.com]

Sounds like new territory to me...... Let us know what you decide (and how  
it works).  I have a friend with 2 Ferraris, and he tells me he is suppose  
to blead the air out of his system(s) ever 6 months.......

Hey  kids, here's a question for you.



I have a reverse rotation 4.2L  Olds aluminum V8 mounted in the conventional
rear location. The car has a  front-mounted, double bypass, radiator. The
cooling pipes follow the usual  path under the car in the tunnel.  This
configuration leaves me with  high points at both the front and the rear.
Currently, I have a single high  pressure reservoir at the back and a 
bleeder
screw at the high point in the  front. 



I'm getting tired of bleeding the air from the front  and I'm considering a
second high-pressure reservoir at the front just to  exchange air for 
coolant
at that high point.



Here's the  question: Am I right in worrying about transfer of coolant 
levels
between  the front and rear reservoirs?  I'm thinking that I have to mount
them  at the same altitude - correct? I'm also thinking that when I park or
drive  on a grade that coolant will fill the lower reservoir and this  
doesn't
sound like a good situation.



If mounting a second  high-pressure reservoir is a bad idea, do you have any
better alternative  ideas?



Thanks in advance,

Craig  Nicol
