Here's a cheap solution to controlling you cooling system. Replace the junk radiator cap with this high quality 1.6 bar cap. Reduces boil based cavitation and resists puking.

I'm sure I can look and see; what's the pressure (pop-off?) of the OE cap? 1.4?
OEM is 1.4 bar / 20.3 PSI so 2.9 psi increase water jacket pressure...
Is that bad? Not sure on cooling systems
The stocker is low grade junk..... this cap will help hold off an overheating of the cylinder head....
Okay, at the moment, my physics ed-u-ma-cation is eluding me: Increasing the pressure will increase the boiling point. But that happens independent of operating temperature, yes? So, IIRC, non-boiling liquid is better able to absorb heat from the surfaces it's in contact with (hot engine). Am I thinking straight?
