Overheating/ What pressure cap?
Hey all, I am running a dual core AFCO radiator and was running a 16lb cap. It was good for about 500miles then I started to experience major overheating issues. Coolant would just boil and radiator will only stay close to half full. I started to inspect everything tonight and found this. Should I go up to a 20lb cap or do I possibly have other issues? The car is a single turbo car putting down roughly 600rwhp. Thanks

Check you oil for water. Grab a clear plastic container like a gallon milk or soda bottle and drain a little bit of oil and then let it sit. Any moisture will collect at the bottom. Also check your overflow tank for signs of oil on top.
The other sign of a blown head gasket is lots of smoke, which is actually steam in your exhaust.
