Sorry if this sounds stupid I don't really know how to explain it, but I've recently built a b204 corsa and people are telling me the radiator won't be working as it should, they are saying this because the outlet side that goes into the engine is higher on the drivers side than the inlet side on passenger side, people are saying the water below the 2 will sit there and boil I'm confused, again I'm sorry if this is confusing thanks

Souldnt be a problem unless your water pump fails, and then you have bigger issues anyway.

Don't people normally use rads from a corsa diesel as the outlets suit the Saab engine? As though with a decent water pump and a way of getting the air out of the highest point in the cooling system it should be ok.

I tried a diesel radiator and it was to big, due to the radiator needing be so far forward. sorted now had the outlets moved on an alloy rad after

I had overheating problems many times, so i bought this, and modified the inlets and the mounts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-SIERRA-ESCORT-RS500-COSWORTH-ALUMINIUM-RADIATOR-/140516962793
Now it works fine on the track, the temperature is never more than 95°C.
