My radiator leaks at the very top from worn stress cracks (very tiny amount) so I ordered a new one. Here's the question. If I loosen the cap just one click, will that drop the pressure a bit so I can run the car without leaking and also without spraying coolant everywhere or is this a stupid question?

Alright, so yesterday my brother and I replaced my 'manual trans' celica with an 'auto trans' radiator which had the tranny lines at the bottom. I ordered it and realized it was for an auto and not my manual and I figured since the lines aren't going to be used anyway, what's the real difference? We installed it and I drove about 30 miles between last night and today and had zero probs and no leaks. So I am good right?
Oh yeah, when I fought to get off the old pass-side radiator top bracket, the bolt stripped so we had to cut it and I ended up gouging the paint on the car where the bracket bolts down. What should I do about that? This post has been edited by 6G96GT: Apr 13, 2009 - 2:40 PM |
