And seriously, radiator "overhauling" is really a bandaid for light vehicles. There are a host of cheap radiators you can get nowadays. Get a new one. Don't skimp. An engine overhaul is just one overheating incident away from ruining your month.
Yes sir, I do plan to get a new radiator. For the meantime lang ito till I'm done w/ the tirik scenario of the engine (Ignition Coil overheat issue) but that's another topic.

My cooling system is fairly fine naman kahit bago ako mag pa-patch/overhaul. Hindi naman nataas sa middle ang temperature ko.

I just want to know lang naman if putting 1.1 cap on my radiator is really bad because everyone seems to be telling me to go back to 0.9 cap kahit na ang allowable spec sa akin ay 0.83 to 1.1 cap.

Ang debate ko kasi sa kanila ay mas matagal umangat naman ang temp needle ko kaya I thought increasing the boiling point helps.

I just want justification and clarity for knowledge sake if I use 1.1 cap is really bad for me na.
