The radiator cap has three important jobs: seal the radiator, regulate the pressure of the cooling system and allow coolant to leave the system as it expands and an optional 4th job is to bring coolant back as it contracts. I would not suggest buying a radiator cap that does clearly state the pressure rating. Our older cars won't tolerate a high pressure cooling system.
