    Odd question... Radiator Cap

    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.

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