radiator cap
ive got a fluidyne radiator(92up) in my 90 si hatch and was wondering if anyone else has had any problems out of the rad. cap they send? damn thing is a bitch to get on and off. My motor is just a stock b16 and i dont think i need a "performance" cap but are the "spoon" rad. caps worth the money or is it just "bling"

Re: (UsDm_Junky)
some radiator caps raise the amount of pressure inside a cooling system... therefore the boiling point of the coolant is raised... for instance... coolant in a cooling system with a 16 psi radiator cap would be able to reach a higher temp. without boiling than a system that had a 14 psi cap... as far as would it be worth it i think that its always worth it to have some "insurance" just incase something happens

Re: (teler86)
Go to Schucks/Checker/Kragen autoparts store and look in the radiator caps section. Find the Prestone radiator caps, and look for RSP-27 and RSP-33. The RSP-27 is a 13psi cap and is the one that will come up for the CRX in their computer. The RSP-33 is the same cap, but uses a 16psi spring instead. The RSP series comes with a little red flip down safety guard.
The caps are about $8 and are just as pretty and work just as well as the obsurd $30-$40 Spoon cap.
