Overheating Mirage

[Blueovalz]

One other "bandaid" that I used prior to obtaining a proper cap for the front radiator was that I took the rubber gasket off one cap, and inserted it into the other cap, which doubled the thickness of the sealing rubber gasket in the cap. This took a bit of work because the gasket is sandwiched between the release cap and a thin disc. This additional thickness just slightly raised the pressure on the spring to slightly raise the release pressure of the cap. This modification also made the cap harder to press-and-twist the cap onto the radiator, but it did solve the issue until I found a proper cap.
