Radiator

[Dalir]

Hello
I have a hand made car equipped with a Renault’s K7M 8 Valves engine.
I think the radiator is installed a little bit higher than it should be.
Is there any idea how to level it with respect to any point of engine? (I.e. head gasket line)
Best regards

that makes little sense? Always run the biggest radiator you can.

Thank yoy Chris
But I mean the static head between radiator and i.e. head gasket line not the size of radiator.

the radiators to can be above or belo the headgasket line. The water pump makes sure coolant gets there.

Old cars had to have the rad above the head to allow thermo siphon coolign to take place.

Thank you Chris
I think in old cars the radiator is above due to make radiator the highest point in cooling system to degassing from radiator opening, but in new cars with expansion tank it should be lower than the highest point i.e. bleeding valve of heater matrix
