How much is the Mazmart part?
|
Since you made the Evans switch did you flush or drain the block? Also, what's the big a$$ radiator cap?
|
I paid $250 (shipped)
|
...so today was the first time I drove the car in a decent distance (75 miles, to/fro). it was fairly cool in the morning and I didn't notice any difference. On the way home, it was about high 70's to low 80's and during stop and go traffic, I noticed that the highest the coolant temp went was 189 except when I was at the drive thru wherin it went all the way to 209. Freeway temps were fairly low, highest was 186. I can't really tell if there was any increase in power but that would be a great bonus.

it's a big @ss radiator cap rated for 18.5 psig (1.3 kgcm*2)
|
I suppose that's my question, why the need? I was under the impression Evans doesn't need pressure.

|
