coolant question
hey all
i searched for this but, here is the deal:
i finished my truck (head rebuild and of course gaskets) last week and got it started, i drove it and when i parked it coolant poured out of the thing somehow, well i found out where it was coming from and fixed it so no more leaks. i didnt get a chance to put coolant in it at all but not very much spilled out. the truck still stayed cool (very cool actually). so i took it down to my mech. for a final tune of the engine (timing, fuel, general check over etc.)
well my over flow tank was full with coolant but the radiator was not. i drove it for the first time today since the rebuild and the coolant in the overflow tank is completely gone. and there is no possibility of a leak anywhere in the engine. i was wondering if, since the rad. isnt full, would it take the coolant from the overflow tank and circulate it thru the engine or is it just evaporating?
