My 90 Cherokee has the coolant reservoir up near the firewall on the passenger side. Once I get my cylinder head back on and refill the system,I want to ensure I have the correct amount of coolant.
What is the proper level when the engine is stone cold,what about normal operating temp?
I see the parting line in the reservoir bottle,but dont see a "min" or "max" or "full hot" or "full cold"
Thanks for the assistance

It seems like halfway is about where it should be, but I'm not sure. That's where mine is at, and I haven't had any problems. I'd be interested to see if you get an answer from someone who actually knows for sure.

While you're at it, go to Napa and get a new rezzy cap from a Volvo. Part # 703-1396. It will grip the threads on the rezzy neck better, hold higher pressure, and not rub the underside of your hood when the rezzy expands.
