[Healeys] Radiator Cap

[Michael Salter]

Hi Ric,
You may get away with it but you may not. Before trying the new cap use a
cooling system pressure tester and pump the pressure up when the engine is
hot and running to a couple of pounds over the intended cap pressure. Your
most likely area of failure is the water pump; the pump on a 100 certainly
will not take that pressure.

Is there any reason why I can't install a 10 or 11 lb radiator cap on my 67 
BJ8?
