Iba-iba experience sa Evercool. But majority naman okay. For the price, it's okay na rin for immediate need.

be careful with those aftermarket radiators that come with a radiator cap. the pressure throat is usually deeper than the original and the pressure valve does not seal. this could potentially prevent the antifreeze/coolant from returning to the radiator from the surge tank/recovery bottle/overflow bottle. the typical non closed circuit cooling system(pressure cap not installed on the radiator) have radiator caps equipped with pressure valve to pressurize(hence raise the boiling point of the coolant) and a vacuum valve to allow the displaced coolant due to expansion back to the radiator. the upper seal of this type of radiator cap also has an upper seal to keep the vacuum while the coolant returns to the radiator. on turbocharged subarus, there are two raidator caps, one for the turbocharger coolant tank and one on the radiator. these two caps do not have the same pressure ratings. the radiator mounted has a rating of nominal 1.3 bar while the one mounted near the turbocharger has 1.1 bar of pressure. the ones with closed system cooling system do not have a vacuum valve like the ones for a toyota previa or most newer chrysler products

it shouldn't be difficult to design fillers/caps that offer good sealing.
so i wonder, is this non-sealing cap by design, poor choice of cap, or simple poor workmanship?

mostly erroneous desgn and measurement of the radiator throat, the radiator cap fitment on top of the radiator is sometimes out-of-round preventing proper sealing. to make sure of the fit, measure the depth of the throat sealing ring and compare with the radiator pressre seal protrusion.
