Update on this. I starteed loosing coolant about a week ago and thought it was a head gasket again. But the aftermarket overflow tank cracked where the radiator feed line hooked on, right at the base of the nipple. It did so becasue the hose was a little short I guess and was pulling on the nipple towards the motor and after all the heating up and cooling I guess it finally cracked.

So I took it off and cleaned it. JB Welded it up and put on a longer hose and it is copasetic for now.... :shitsweak:

Nice job. My tank leaks also so I might have to run down to my parts store and see if I can find something like this.

For 9 bucks it's a great deal, but you do get what you pay for.
