Re: Pressurized Radiator
My car had one on it when I bought it but I took it off. It was leaking. I also had issues with leaking head gaskets. The Bergs radiator I bought to replace it is atmospheric pressure and works great.
The advantage of a pressurized radiator, as most people know, is that the boiling point is raised so that the engine can run hotter. The disadvantage as I see it is that any leaks will be more pronounced.
The overflow tube on my car had a rubber hose attached and ran down to under the car. Lots of people run an overflow tank with a pressurized radiator. You can buy overflow tanks that mount vertically next the radiator.
