ok, im sure everyone knows that the number 1 rule when relocating a radiator is to make sure the radiator cap is higher than any part of the motor....my question is what about the reservoir, now it seems to me that you could put the reservoir on the ground and it wouldnt matter as long as the radiator cap is above the engine but i just wanted to clear this up

crap, i figured there would be like 306 people yell at me and tell me im an idiot for not knowing this one

in theory yes...

the bottle allows for expansion when the engine is warm and contraction when it cools down. coolant is being pushed through the hose so gravity would only help here, then vaccum from the cooling of the system pulls the coolant back in like a drinking straw.

to avoid unforseen factors i would try to keep it close to level with the radiator though.

my thoughts too, but i was just going to see if anyone knows from experience tho, thanks for your thoughts
