Bob,

Interesting.  Seems strange that on a crossover type radiator it would make
a big difference between the sides.  Maybe I'm not understanding you.  Can
you clarify or, if I seem to be understanding you correctly explain why it
makes a difference which side the cap is on?

My cap is one the side of the radiator from which the pump draws water out.
That's the exit side, right?
