Just for my info, what was the original pressure rating on the
radiator cap? My Tiger came with a 14psi cap and the heater was
pulled out because of a leak. I think the leak was caused by
corrosion instead of too much pressure but I am not sure.

Frank,
The extra pressure in the system will cause other problems. My heater
core is distorted (so much so that I had to work like heck just to
pull it out of the housing) because of a higher pressure cap that the
PO installed. I wouldn't recommend it.

I saw "Tiger Bob" Sunday and we were going down the list of cooling fixes we
might try on our cars. Bob suggested a higher pressure cap as one of many
things to try. Does anybody know how high you can go on a mostly stock
Tiger system before you will start to have problems?
