What radiator cap should I run with my 604 crate late model?
20-22lbs. Or
23-25lbs. Or
29-31lbs. Or
31-33lbs. ???

Any/all input welcome, thanks, KB

As much cap as the rest of your system can handle as far as pressure goes. It should be the weak link in the system.

Agreed. On a side note, with higher pressures make sure your hose connections have a good bulge or ridge on the component or you can blow a hose off.

Thanks guysEvery psi raises the boiling point roughly 3°f so the higher the cap the hotter you can run before melting it down

Keyser sells a 38-42 we have been running them for a few years.
