: I recently saw a posting discussing that a 5 psi pressurized was used. This sounds like a good idea to me. If my old physics is still good, it should add 5 C temperature protection from boiling.to 221 F.My question, is how is this done, is there a limit on how much pressure would work and how do you maintain the pressure (type of cap, etc.)
Hi Mike..I have a 5 PSI system on my 30 Coupe, and it doesn't overheat.My 5 PSI thermostat is enclosed in a plastic case that has hose connections on both ends.One hose is connected to the radiator overflow tube, and the rear hose is cut long enough to clear the end on the splash pan in case the thermostat opens.There is a fat "O" ring that fits inside the radiator cap to seal that end of the system.
