I got my Ron Davis radiator and can't wait to install it (when the car gets back from the paint shop)!
Here's my problem, I can't figure out what the right radiator caps are. AWR sent me the Stant 10372 (21-25lbs) for an open cooling system (no recovery bottle). But wait, doesn't the Ron Davis radiator setup for an overflow? Maybe I am confused on terminology.
I have the S4 motor - which has a radiator cap on top of the thermostat housing - so I have 2 radiator caps in my cooling system. I found the Stant cap 10362 (22-24lbs) that looks like it would work, but then with this rating technically the cap on the thermostat may release first rather than the radiator. I wouldn't want this as the overflow is on the radiator.
BTW, I picked up the radiator from the welding shop today - I had the heater port and 2 sensor ports welded shut, no potential problems there in the future.
What's the correct radiator caps (Stant or otherwise) for an S4 motor with Ron Davis radiator? The next challenge is finding Stant caps, I called all over and no one seems to have them or can get them.
Here are Stant Racing radiator caps: http://www.stant.com/brochure.cfm?brochure...location_id=179 (http://www.stant.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=2885&location_id=179)
