19 psi (1.3bar) rad caps

Postby Wolfie » April 12th, 2009, 1:21 pm

Hey Guys,

Do you think a 1.3 Radiator cap could blow stock waterpump gaskets, hoses, etc? Anyone have any experiences with them?

Will not blow gaskets and hoses if they are in good condition, hardened hoses and slightly leaking gaskets/seals may blow.

Do not use with plastic tank radiator's. It may hold out for a while but that is asking for trouble.
