c. Using a radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the radiator.
Test pressure: 177 kPa (26 psi)
d. Submerge the radiator in water.
e. Inspect for leaks.
HINT: On radiators with resin tanks, there is a clearance between the tank and lock plate where a minute amount of air will remain, giving the
appearance of an air leak when the radiator is submerged in water, therefore, before doing the water leak test, first swish the radiator around in
the water until all bubbles disappear.
