I'll second that advise. I've done it once, on my TR3. I had the proper tool and it was straight forward and simple, yet nerve racking anyway. Jack /// /// mgb-v8@autox.team.net mailing list /// Send

I think we are beating around the bush but not quite nailing it down. Using standard pumps water cannot travel too fast in a radiator. In an automotive cooling system, I doubt there is any laminar fl

That is after the t-stat at the cap. It's much higher on the engine side of the t-stat. I know of a TR4 racer who has documented that his 15psi radiator cap does not blow off, while he is registerin
