Gates Engine Coolant Reservoir Cap,Radiator Cap P/N:31541
Keep your cooling system sealed and correctly pressurized with the Gates Radiator Cap / Coolant Reservoir Cap 31527. A radiator pressure cap seals the filler neck and holds the coolant under pressure, which raises the boiling point; its valves relieve excess pressure and draw coolant back from the recovery tank as the engine cools. It fits a very wide range of applications — including the 1975-1996 Ford F-150, 1979-1985 Honda Accord, 1975-1987 Honda Civic, 1986-1989 Acura Integra, and 1986-1989 Alfa Romeo Spider — with one cap per application. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This is a standard cap that works whether or not the vehicle uses a coolant recovery system. If a worn or leaking cap is losing pressure or letting coolant escape, this replaces it. Country of origin: China.
