Andy A Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Is it possible to pressure test the cooling system in situ? How who where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yepp! Get a header tank cap and drill it to take a car tyre valve. With the system filled with coolant, pump up using a footpump with pressure guage to the prescibed operating pressure for the system. You can then watch for visible leaks or using a tyre pressure guage, monitor for decaying pressure.... Or I believe you can buy a tool or kit which does similar. 6SpeedManual *tongue*There's no such thing as too much BHP per Ton 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy A Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hmmnnn.. Do I trust the cap that was replaced I wonder.... So what sort of pressure does the cap relieve at and how long to monitor for decay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
