Takes about 1 pint to ‘fill’ it up, only to puke it out again...

However this ‘natural level’ that’s 1” below the rad top is just below the top of the row of the cooling tubes, so the top row is not sitting in coolant when cold.

Is that OK? I’m thinking that’s likely to cause corrosion?

Appreciate your opinion. Thanks
