Poorly maintained ang kotse when I got it. It has 0.9 cap in it, the service manual says I can go 0.83 to 1.1 as stated here:

Main Valve opening pressure = 81.4-108 kPa (11.8 - 15.6 psi, 0.83-.1 kg/cm*)

I do plan to get thermostat sir and thermoswitch.

And here's the book says:
Thermostat
Valve opening temperature = 88 +/- 1.5 degrees celcius (190.4 +/- 2.7 degrees farenheit)
Full-opening temperature = 100 deg c (211 deg F)
Valve lift, fully open = 8 mm (0.31 in) or more
Identification mark = 88 (Stamped on flange)

What I want to get clarification is that should I go 1.1 cap to improve boiling point to fight against init ng pinas? Or I should go 0.9 dahil may edad na yung radiator at panay leak kaya re-patch pa rin after overhaul (under warranty kaya free patch)

What I have posted is stock cap is 0.83 - 1.1 caps is acceptable.
