Cooling System

Some time ago we experienced some issues with the cooling system during its dyno testing (Bench), basically it was not able to cope with the power up the top end of the rev range. After a LOT of research and advice we / they have come up with the following solution. Looks complcated to me but I am assured it will deal with aeration / cavitation problems that might have been causing us problems.

I would welcome any feed back on the design, the layout is diagromatic only, actually plumbing it into the car has created its own challenges !
