The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

I did install a non-pressurized cap and it seems to be running fine. I checked the radiator temp on a hot Chicago day with an infrared heat gun. The radiator seems to run about 185⁰F with no hot spots, and a 10-15⁰F difference from top to bottom.

It is understandable then , that a fuel cap might have worked in a pinch.
So , unlike today, checking coolant is an important part of daily startup.
Live and learn
Thanks

I have seen r-1 radiator caps listed as an replacement. They are not vented. What is recommended pressure relief for the cooling system, and is there a consensus replacement for the original, and if so, who sells them?
Thanks
