<DIV>The main purpose of putting a higher pressure cap is to stop the continues
loss of coolant after shutting the engine down and the engine temp going up over
the 212 point. By putting a 10 or 13 max pressure cap you have raised the
boiling point 10 to 20 degrees thus stopping the coolant loss.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It wont do anything for the overheating.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On your newer cars today they need a much higher pressure cap because the
run the engine temp much higher to reduce emissions. I have seen some new
Jaguars and Land Rovers that are running a 25 lb cap. As well as cooling systems
that you can not fill up correctly with out using a vacuum type filler. Due to
the fact that there will be air pockets in the cooling system that you can not
remove any other way.</DIV>

<P>7 Psi should be more than enough on these old engines. Water pump seal may
fail (as mentioned), so may the hoses and the original style radiator if you
operate under a higher pressure. Modern cars can take much higher pressures
of 20Psi or more. If your cooling system is up to scratch there should not
be a problem. i.e. clean system, radiator with enough capacity, thermostatically
controlled electric fan to keep things under control in dense traffic and hot
weather. The electric fan may not be original but when these cars were new
traffic conditions were not as demanding as in these days. It just keeps you out
of trouble at very little costs and a bit of ingenuity (breakers yard).<BR></P>

<DIV>If you are using the alloy radiator you have a short neck cap. Depending
on the press’s app you are using you can not use a bellows type thermostat.
Because the bellows will collapse if you use anything over 7 lbs. Then the
thermostat will close and the engine will overheat. <BR><BR>

<DIV>I would like to go back to Steve Byers’ comment. I am not so much
concerned about my car overheating. When the engine was rebuilt it was
thoroughly cleaned to get rid of all sludge. I run an aluminum radiator,
have built and installed air ducting for improved flow. I do not have an
electric fan.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My problem was that my engine ran cool and would take quite a while to
“warm up.” I think I was using a 165 degree (or thereabouts) non-sleeved
thermostat. Robert Shaw as I recall. So I wanted to get my engine up to
185-190 degrees sooner. I went with one of the same AC sleeved thermostats
82 degrees centigrade from Kees that Steve used. The engine seems to be much
happier and gets to running temp more quickly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At least for my engine, a 160-165 degree thermostat keeps things cool
too long. In a perfect world I would prefer David Nock’s bellows thermostat
but with a 185-190 degree opening. Since that doesn’t seem to be available I
think I will stick with the AC unit and keep my eye on the temp.
Gauge.</DIV>

<DIV>I am no authority on this. I am simply passing along my experience. Am
I understanding all of this correctly? </DIV>

<DIV>Well I have watched this discussion on sleeved thermostats for the
last week but now I just have to say. When the sleeved thermostats went
NLA, about 45 years ago, we resorted to installing just plain old Stant
175 degree stats and guess what ... not one complaint or comment on
running hotter or overheating and absolutely no sign of any symptoms of
overheating on my own BJ8 even in the hottest of ambient temperatures.
It just didn't happen!!! Just sayin'. M
