- I would try a 13 or 15 PSI cap. The 13 seems to be better if the water pump has done some miles. As long the cooling system don't force out any water a 13 PSI cap sould be fine. Chris

- A simple test. Fill a compressor with 16-17 PSI and set the cooling system under pressure. Just blow from the overflow side into the system with the cap on. You can see how all the hoses, radiator an

- As a "get by" at the track fix you can cut an inner tube and add 2 more lower seals to a standard cap and it will hold enough pressure for most cars. Don't ask how I know this!! PITA to get that sec
