Pretty self explanatory, I couldn't find an overflow in the wreckers that was good enough , and I shaved the engine bay , so no place to bolt one on.  The can has a vent on the side , the line into the top also has a line going down about 3/4 the way of the can

party on for under $10.

How hot can the lid get? Is it vented?

not sure on the temp , ya it's vented , just can't see it. Bottle is metal so I think it will be fine , as for the cap , the factory honda one is just shitty plastic as well
