Oh? My plan was the header tank was going to have an outlet into the bottom hose, and the little air bleedy thingy, to the top of the header tank bleedy thingy?
Then from the main pipe of the stat, to the top of the rad, from the bottom of the rad, to the water pump? with the header outlet plumbed into the bottom hose?

Hi Jas.

That is how mine is and no probs, stayed cool even on the rollers at Emerald last winter.

Cheers Mike,
Do you run the bypass or have a little hole in the stat?
