Right on, that's something I need to eliminate as a possible pain in the behind like Phil's episode that he had.

Great job just remember that there is a check valve on one of the lines to the expansion tank. Right now I can't recall which one.

It's built into the 7.5mm hose barb that connects to the upper right corner of the radiator. It only allows flow into the tank.

McMaster carries a wide variety of check valves that you can page through in their online catalog.

Usually any hose shop will have small check valves. That check valve is used to vent out any air that gets trapped in the top of the rad. I would just got to any local hose shop.
