No radiator baffle

I too have a radiator without a baffle and was dumping out copious amounts of water. I extended my overflow tube about 1" with a piece of plastic tubing. It now sits under the cap. Solved the problem for me.
 
VERY good video! I've been called a liar for years for saying the same thing. Whenever you're asked to troubleshoot a system, the very first item of business is an overall understanding of that system. This video accomplishes that.
 
I agree. That was a good video. I'm pretty confident I don't have an overheating problem. My motometer hardly ever registers halfway up the thermometer. It generally stays on the bottom end even on long trips. In my case, I know I am missing the baffle in the radiator and my assumption is that that's the reason I am losing water through the overflow. I'm not to excited about removing the radiator. (I did this to have a leak repaired when I first bought it and didn't realize that it should have had a baffle in it at the time) I will try the thermostat and possibly extending the overflow in the radiator. If at some point in the future I need a radiator repair I will have the baffle installed.
