Next step will be to drain radiator down halfway to allow removal and reattachment of top radiator hose. Before doing that, I was wondering what the pressure rating on the tank cap should be. Is 13psi about right or should I be using one with a lower pressure rating?

i find 13 psi to be a little low.....i run a 16 psi. could the braided line be the problem and not the pressure?
