Re: Running a bit hot,,,Question!

Looks like you have been getting some very good information on cooiing
systems.  Just a recap of radiator caps:

The pressure cap increases the maximun pressure in the system AND
increases the boiling point of the coolant in your system.  The
increase in boiling point and pressure is approximately 3 degrees per
1 pound increase in pressure cap rating.

Therefore a 13 pound cap will increase the boiling temperature of your
radiator to approximately 242 degrees.  (my choice for a cap)

Therefore a 18 pound cap will increase the boiling temperature of your
radiator to approximately 266 degrees.  (very hot)
