kramttocs Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I saw reviews about the sticker being less than ideal. There are some anode caps on Amazon as well that look almost identical - maybe they are all just rebrands of the same cap? https://www.amazon.com/Northern-Z17700-Sacrificial-Anode-Rad/dp/B005ASS0NQ/ref=sr_1_33?crid=10NMDG9MTLVS2&dchild=1&keywords=zinc+anode+radiator+cap&qid=1612563883&sprefix=zinc+anode+cap%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-33 I'd say that's a safe bet. Haven't put mine under pressure yet to know about any leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_S85 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'd say that's a safe bet. Haven't put mine under pressure yet to know about any leaks. You have a pressure tester right? I got one from a shop that was closing down as the owners were retiring, they were throwing a bunch of stuff away and I have no adapters with mine but without the adapters you can still do all pre 1989 vehicles as the radiator caps were a standardized size. Im thinking of buying a new one how ever cause they are great for finding leaks and if your cap is rated for 15 PSI for example and you pump it up to say 20 PSI if there is no leaks then you know you are safe. Ideally the way you are supposed to use them is pump up to the pressure rating on the cap. I personally always go 5 PSI higher than the cap which helps makes small slow leaks a little more pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do and will have to give it a go once I finish flushing all the Thermocure out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lima Delta Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I do and will have to give it a go once I finish flushing all the Thermocure out Has anyone tried the Prestone Command nitrite free ELC?
