Setup:
2.5" Civic Aluminum radiator
Permacool(non shroud) 1950cfm-puller
AC still intact
FMIC covers bumper grill
80/20 mix with water wetter
160 thermostat
I`m currently in the 196-203 temp(daytime) and if I'm lucky...193@ night. Current weather has been in the high 60's to 70's. For some reason, I cant seem to get my temps down. Even on the highway it would still hit 200. My question is...would a leaky radiator cap be the culprit? I talked to a couple of guys at work and they said yes. They mentioned that it is not pressurizing the system and air bubbles can get in there. I just want a 3rd, 4th, etc opinion from you guys.
