what thermostat is in car, 180, 193, 195F? they have 3, I run 195fs, for max mpg, and better cooling, but stock and EPA legal is 180f. what is yours.?
50% Antifreeze a must. have that? not over 60% or cooling is less. !!!
16 psi is too high. 12-14 i think is spec. finding caps can be real hard, if the rad was ever changed out to china made rad. seen that many times.
but 2 psi over will not damage any system. (not frail, or ready to fail as most are.......)"straw that broke camels back day"
is this RAD in (was sold day 1 from CAMI with "Harrison" RAD from Canada plant, with alum core and black plastic top ) still stock?
the Rad is bad, all are if stock, no stock rad of above type runs for ever. and for sure, not 23 years ( a Guinness record here?)
but you started from full at rad. and the rad leaks, so that means the top rad hose will never hold 12-14psi pressure, full time,
and means the top Rad hose never gets HARD, like all cars must do. hot.
that means this rule is wrong. 260
