So I’m a week or so out from my HG job (all new cooling system) on my 97 fzj80 with 190k. Temps have started to level out at 186-190 in town.
I’ve noticed my overflow reservoir is dropping so I opened my rad cap (while cold) to check the level and it was under pressure so it overflowed at the cap. I figured starting it would cause the level to drop, but instead it started to do the opposite and push coolant out. Is this expected? It seems weird that I can’t run the engine with the cap off without it gushing coolant.
Note: there’s no leaks anywhere at all and the motor runs amazing otherwise.
Any thoughts or insights to what it may be would be great!
