Hay guys

Just got my Mugen 1.3bar radiator cap from EG5 but she won't fit :(

How tight are they meant to be on an EG?

Do they come in any other sizes?

thx LukeZen

There are 2 sizes. One fits EG,EK,DC2 and a few others and the other fits BB6 and a few others.

I had this problem too. I got one to fit my ED civic, and it was too small, so I had to order the one for the prelude and it fits fine.

oh yeah, and when I ordered mine again, it was on back order, took me 2-3 months to get :rolleyes:

Bet it can withstand over 1.3bars of pressure now. :p

Best to get the right sized one and not risk causing a crack due to the tightness. When it gets hot, the radiator expands first before the cap, so you could get cracking at the neck.
