pressurized radiator work around
I am going with a pressurized radiator in the A for a reason that might not make a lot of sense. After having boil overs and hot antifreeze in my face on a few occasions, I got a Brassworks pressurized radiator with an overflow tank because my old radiator was shot and the above reason. I'm sure at this point, the boil-overs should be done and I'll deal with it if they are not because of something else, which I've crossed off the list (timing, head gasket, flushed out water jacket, etc.) Now, the pressured system problems that could arise have all been discussed and I'm thinking that I just might use a zero pressure cap and avoid the potential problems and still get a closed system where I have an overflow tank and a good cap that is not going to spew at me while driving. I'll still have the Quail cap on a fake inlet on the radiator top. Can anyone see why this wouldn't work for me? Right now I haven't installed the radiator yet and it has a 4 lb cap.
