Review on 💦 Gates 31333 Standard Radiator Cap: Optimal Performance and Reliability for Your Vehicle's Cooling System by Jared Gopalan

The problem with my old cap was that the upper and lower radiator hoses broke as the engine cooled. This cover corrected that behavior. After comparing my old cover after replacement, it turned out that the spring that controls the "vacuum button" on the bottom of the cover had less resistance / was smoother than the spring in the old cover. In other words, if the engine was cold, the suction could pull the "vacuum button". " down and introduce liquid from the overflow container. The overflow container is obsolete by today's standards. This is an inexpensive way to keep my 30 year old SVX alive to enjoy another tank of gas.
