b18b swap help
i have a b18b swapped del sol and i noticed recently that both of my radiator hoses are collapsed. but i have coolant and the temp guage in my cluster doesnt go up to hot, just stays in the middle. and i noticed that when i take off my radiator cap, it hisses and the hoses re-inflate. can someone tell me whats wrong and how to fix it? thanks

Re: b18b swap help (superpho)
There is something wrong with the hook up of the overflow tank! My first bet is that you have the wrong radiator cap.
Is it a stock type radiator that has an overflow provision?
What should happen is if your coolant system (the radiator) goes into vacume when it cools down, it draws water (coolant) back in from the water that is in the overflow tank. Keep in mind that the draw-back hose going to the overflow tank draws from the bottom.
By doing this, it can work air out of the system. It blows air out and then draws fluid back in.
