hi Paul,
To be perfectly honest, that Air-Lock system has no bearing on water blowing out. It only comes into operation when the cap is removed. This locks off air/expansion space in the header tank, so that you cannot put too much water in the radiator, thus weakening the anti-freeze, and also if overfilled it would blow out. So, providing you have enough water to cover the top hose fitment, then I would say you should be good to go and see how it behaves. You will find with a lot of these non-pressurised systems that if you put too much water in, there will be an initial blow out of water, then it will settle down, it is knowing to what point you fill to.

regards, Richard

Thanks for the info Guy and Richard, the spring is in Brisbane so I will need to wait for that. Hopefully I will get some movement on it next week, Guy is the spring on ebay under a particular category? I had a surf around but couldn't find anything.
Richard interesting you say "enough water to cover the hose fitting" as I have only filled till just covering the core which is below the hose fitting?

Paul,
If your water level in the rad is below the inlet for the top hose, there will not be circulation. The level needs to be up to the top hose on the rad to get cycling of the coolant.

regards, Richard

Thanks for the info and purchase of a spring made just in case the Brisbane mob don't come good, the subject of the coolant level we have talked about and I have experimented with for a while but will make sure the header tank has sufficient in when I get all the bits back in and start up.

Just an update on whats going on with my Morris C8, I await a spring from either the UK or Brisbane. I am having two manufactured in Brisbane and also bought a spring on ebay, while this is going on I have re-tightened the cylinder head as the manual has no torque setting so its down to elbow click and your elbow clicks different on days with a Y in them. This may account for any pressure in the cooling system as I have had half a turn to a full turn in the head nuts, I have also purchased a head gasket sealant that I will introduce when all the radiator components are in. I hope all this works.
