     Just for my info, what was the original pressure rating on the 
     radiator cap?  My Tiger came with a 14psi cap and the heater was 
     pulled out because of a leak.  I think the leak was caused by 
     corrosion instead of too much pressure but I am not sure.

     Frank,
     
     The extra pressure in the system will cause other problems.  My heater 
     core is distorted (so much so that I had to work like heck just to 
     pull it out of the housing) because of a higher pressure cap that the 
     PO installed.  I wouldn't recommend it.

I saw "Tiger Bob" Sunday and we were going down the list of cooling fixes we 
might try on our cars.  Bob suggested a higher pressure cap as one of many 
things to try.  Does anybody know how high you can go on a mostly stock 
Tiger system before you will start to have problems?
