The case of disappearing coolant?

Mmm, seems you have had much the same issues as me. Though mine is a Di, not common rail. I will be doing much the same, but I will rebuild the old one myself. Knowing I cooked it gives me some idea that it now has a cracked or warped head. I will be driving it to Brunswick tomorrow, with two Jerrys of water in the back and the cook right behind me in her car.

Can I suggest you crack to overflow tank cap a touch to let some pressure out.
save stopping and filling all the time

Yeah,
I placed a paper clip under the metal retainer in mine to let the pressure vent. Worked a treat.

I did that as par for course. As it turns out it made it fine. Apart from the smell of coolant that is.
I must say, there are some very pretty engines down at Brunswick....I had engine envy.

One more sleep until I get her back.....
I will be glad, now I do not have to drive that Colorado ute.
