While that sounds correct and logical, I too have experienced the same thing as Bill. My original 1928 radiator lost coolant out the overflow tube until I flushed the block and radiator. Now I can drive 50 and not loose coolant.
My 1929 with only a 2 row aftermarket radiator would loose a quart or two in 10 miles. I pulled that radiator and installed an original.
