Hi Dylan, where do you get these caps? I may have run into the same
problem with my setup. If the coolant can't flow to the overflow
reservoir tank, what happens with the expanded coolant? Does it just
leak out at the weakest point in the system?

I've read in different places how to pressure test the entire system
... but how do you just test the caps?


Thanks!
