While checking radiator....cap blew off.. 2 Attachment(s) Just had time to turn away as it blew off. I must have not aligned the cap when I drove out to the house. Hottest feeling in my life. I could see down into the radiator for a sec as it blew. Nothing but steam. I didn't see my skin start blistering, so I knew it wasn't that bad. Felt more like a severe sun burn. Skin is peeling on my face a little and on my left arm. Jim. |
Re: While checking radiator....cap blew off.. OW!?.... Least you still got both your eyes i suppose. |
Re: While checking radiator....cap blew off.. You are one lucky SOB. Years ago when i worked in a garage, the same thing happened to a guy, ended up with burns to his hands and face. |
Re: While checking radiator....cap blew off.. I had the same problem. Except I was driving down a street to go pick up my heads from being ported. I heard a big slap and smoke started pouring out of my hood. I pulled over and found my radiator cap hiding underneath the A/C box. |
Re: While checking radiator....cap blew off.. Is that a Shellback certificate I see on the wall in your second pic? |

They keep a file of when ships send in info (like the C.O.'s sig) and all you have to do is give them your name and they can print out a new one. Found that out a few years ago when I was a recruiter. We had them send us one of each certificate for our walls in the office. Back then they were something like four or five bucks each (they gave them to us for free because of why we wanted them. Thought that was pretty cool of them). |
