The expansion you describe is normal. The expanded coolant should, however, return to the engine block when it cools down. Perhaps your thermostat is not functioning properly, or at all. I have inst

You say your Spit is a '68. I believe it was some time during the 60 production year when they changed from the 7 pound to the 13 pound caps. That might be your problem. And I don't see your Spit li

Your temperature gauge shouldn't go beyond the 3/4 mark on the gauge. If so, you will get boil-over from the expansion of the hot water/coolant. If you're getting a normal temp reading on your senso
