I have heard of a baffle in the upper radiator or filler neck to prevent coolant from going out the overflow pipe due to velocity from the water pump.

I don't see anything in mine - I can see the tubes through the filler neck.

If I add coolant to cover the tubes, I get overflow, so I'm guessing that it's from the speed of the pump.

I don't see a radiator baffle in the parts catalogs. Am I missing something and can I make / install one without dismantling the radiator?
