Can you explain or recommend how it should be (including parts)? I know it's a lot to ask but, again I am not there where it's being built. I will need to pass the info along. Thanks.
You had them install a BDR tank, but they have a different location for their heater core (look where the lines go int the firewall) and some interesting upper coolant pipe from the radiator that is well above the cap on the expansion tank. If they bleed the system on a set of ramps those items will still be above the cap, so I guess no room in tank for expansion since you will need a full fill out the overflow tube? If the builder is ok with it then ignore my logic...
