Radiator cap problem. with photo's

[14bCrazy]

I found out that my cap needs to be replaced. I thought no problem I'll get one at work. I work at Advance. I got the one that the old computer told me to buy. I get home and it will not fit. I checked the Stant website and it also gave me the same part number. The problem is that it will not compress enough to fit. If you lay them side by side on a table they old one is taller. Has anyone else had this problem? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

Post a picture of the original & new radiator caps that you have.

It is just like I suggested this last week /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That's why I'm trying to change it. I may have to look at yours.

Could it be b/c your radiator is aftermarket?
