As a few will know the old zetor had a top end rebuild earlier this year. Subsequently expecting it to be 'good as new ' I have been a little disappointed to find it close to 100 degrees after short periods of post knocking (an hour or less say)
The rad cap is obviously loose given it's age and the over flow channel rusted open to nothing.
I don't appear to have an obvious leak and have not witnessed it steaming yet, always being careful to stop work as the temp gauge goes above 90.
What to do about this?
Is a loose cap unhelpful in this situation?
I can't get my head around the pressure/temperature consequences
