That will eliminate any coolant loss whatsoever, particularly if you also run a small recovery tank. A 15 lb. cap raises the boiling point of the coolant to 257 degrees, far higher than a stovebolt engine ever gets during normal running. The water jacket and cylinder head handles the pressure easily- - - -the heater core is the limiting factor. Jerry
