Think I need new rad cap
I just got done checking my antifreeze .Well in the past few days , my car has been running a little hotter than normal . When I pulled the cap off , it felt funny coming off , then I saw the rubber seal on the spring circle thingy underneeth the cap kinda getting caught on when I took it off . The cap is prabably not working with the pressure huh ?

You need a real thing
Chrome is cheap construction.
NOW a chrome cover cap is a great idea!

Im working on a cover cap at collage. I'm going to make my cover say the same thing as my plenum, 85 Camaro. I have to finish making my program and setting up the cnc to write the letters onto it. Heres a pic of the plenum emblem.
