If you were to buy a tester...your looking for something like this. Although if you suspect that the cap is the problem, then as long as long as its in OEM specs, then you should be fine. Secondly, are you 100% that your cap is the problem? Maybe the cap is fine and you have a hairline fracture somewhere?

I'll switch radiator caps and take a drive test tomorrow to the gym and check for results. -------------------- -----------
