no there is absolutely NO releaf mechanism whatsoever... zero. and it builds up a tremendous amount of pressure. that puts alot of stress on the wields [which are good wields but nothing I would gamble my engine on] and the hoses... something is going to break.
I'll post photos sometime this weekend but my WR tank is very bowed on top. previous owner had 1500 miles on it [and blew his engine], I had about 700 on it before I pulled it.
there is also no way to use the coolant level sensor [its a float valve with the float mechanism built into the stock shell], so that sensor hole in the tank is pointless, and you have to deal with the coolant light permanently being on.
also the tank doesnt have baffling on it... I dunno I could go on about this but when you break it down its a poor substitute for the stock one, and I didnt feel I needed to rehash this because its been covered lately in 2 other threads.
combine all this with adding a significant amount of power to the system and your asking for trouble.
[blackcoog, I love your work and your effort _and openness with sharing your buildup_ really is impressive. this has been my one and only complaint/concern... please dont take it as me trying to bust your balls]
