I am rebuilding a striped down mnr vortx with 2000 r1 motor the car came with a new BL 1000cc mini radiator fitted but not tested. It is just plumbed in top and bottom hose with no header tank' expansion tank' or air bleed will this set up work or do i need to start again any suggestions would be appreciated .

i ran my blade powered striker with a mini rad and had no problems.

the mini never ran a header tank or expansion bottle, so, it should be fine, but header tank would be better...
