Or you were just over filling it.<br>
It is normal for the Tiger to blow out the little hose until it gets
down to where it needs to be.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have an update on my quest to find
a radiator cap. I wound up ordering a Scott Drake
Mustang cap from CJ Pony Parts and it fits really
well. And since my temp gauge was always pegged
out really high I installed a mechanical temp
gauge from Summit on my Edelbrock intake. After
idling for about 20 minutes the temp never got
over 190. Now I need to take it out for a long

<p>Just to add to my confusion I took a
look at the Tiger Parts List
Supplement (pub number 6601131) and
I'm guessing this only covers the
Tigers up to B382001521 because it
only shows the 1224725 header tank and
Ron has Parts List 6601334 which show
two more tanks. Parts List
6601131 says the 9 lb. cap is for
"later" cars and the 13 lb. cap is for
"earlier" cars. This seems to
contradict what is in TBON. Is it
possible that some of the earliest
cars had 13 lb. caps and then they
went to 9 lb. caps until they changes
the header tanks?</p>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The Rootes part number for the 9
lb. cap is 5220487 and when I Google
that number I can see that is also a
Mopar part number from back in the
day. All of the usual sources want
to cross this over to a 13 lb. cap.
I did find a 9 lb. cap made by
Motorad but I can't find what the
stem length is. I guess I will have
to go down to the different part
stores and look at what they have. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Sunbeam Specialties has three
different caps for sale but they are
for Alpines, not Tigers. I asked
Rick if any of them would work for
the Tiger and he said the pressure
rating was too low. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Ron, the G630 cap pulls up as a
match for some older Land Rovers but
I'm only finding used ones.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>If anybody has recently purchased a
new cap that is working fine please
let me know what you got.</p>

[Tigers] Radiator
Cap</p>
<p> </p>
<div>
<p>Hi,</p>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I'm hoping one
of you guys can
tell me what
radiator cap I
should be
using. I've
tried a cap that
was listed as
being for a
Tiger on
Autozone's
website but I
think the
pressure spring
part under the
cap is too
short. I almost
immediately
start getting
water out of the
overflow tube as
the engine warms
up. I measured
the depth of the
expansion tank
opening from the
top edge to the
flange where the
spring part of
the cap would
sit and got
.777". I
measured the cap
from the big
rubber seal just
under the cap to
the small rubber
seal at the end
of the spring
and got
something like
.75". So it
looks like I
need a cap with
a longer spring
stem. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>A brand name
and part number
would be great
And also, what
should the
pressure rating
be? What I have
is 13 lbs.</p>
</div>
<div>
