Pressure Cap

All models use a 16 lb. pressure cap which should be tested at 14-17 lbs. Cap is also equipped with a vent valve in center of cap that allows a small flow through the cap when temperature is below boiling, but closes when boiling point is reached. Valve also opens when coolant is cooling and contracting, permitting coolant to return to radiator from coolant reserve tank.

CAUTION: Warning words "DO NOT OPEN HOT" printed on radiator pressure cap are a safety precaution and should be heeded whenever engine is warm.
