No pressure in coolant system

Since I went V-mount my coolant syatem does not create pressure.

I can take off my rad cap while the car is running and at full operating temp and just watch my coolant flow through.

While driving my temps are between 84-88c and there are no coolant leaks and my overflow is fine.

I have driven a few hundred km like this with no problems.

Any ideas? Should't the car not cool properly is there is no pressure in the system?

lol, dont worry I'll let ya know

I'll try a new cap and see what happens. The only real difference is the larger radiator I put in and the v-mount setup with an aftermarket fan.

Ran the car pretty hard last night and temps never moved above 88c.

Car pulls like a mo fo!
