Radiator/Coolant issues

[the_duke]

Hey guys,

I have recently fitted a polished TB and some FIT 1.97 Roller rockers.
with new radiator hoses and new thermostat.

The problem i am having is that there is coolant leaking out over near the fill up cap? would it be the cap is to old and not holding pressure or what guys?

I have tryed to rev the engine and watch for coolant but nothing?

Thanks a lot

Check the cap seat on the radiator and replace the cap.

Mine did this the other month.

a cheap fix is to silicone the tony hole in the middle of it, but proper alternative is to replace it, there cheap as chips

yeah, I wasn't to sure if it was the cap or more of a problem?

Thanks guys

ITs not your cap other people have had the same promblem, sure what it is but it helps to wipe any slugde or coolant away under the cap and radiator filler neck, but to my knowlegde have found a solution to what cause it
but Im a bit sus of the overflow lines because my seems to be a lot worse if the overflow reservior is over full
