Radiator Cap: Service and Repair

INSPECTION






Hold the cap in hand, right side up. The vent valve at the bottom of the cap should not open. If the rubber gasket has swollen and prevents the valve from closing, replace the cap.
Hold the cleaned cap in hand upside down. If any light can be seen between vent valve and rubber gasket, replace cap.
