boiling engine part 2

[vodkakid]

now that i have changed the caps round on the swirl tank and expantion tank the car runs with a temp of between 50 and 90 on the gauge is this to cool for a tvr.
the bubbling noises and loss of collant have now gone and it runs great plus for some reason it has a more steady oil pressure reading too
(and the pressure cap is on the expantion tank and not on the swirl tank)

yeah but think about it, the last port of call is the expantion tank so it should run its course and if theres any pressure it goes out there but do tell me about the top pipe as that may me wrong.
as you look at the swirl tank from the wheel arch the very top pipe facing you.
on my car this goes on to the front of my engine?????????????
