I'm sorry to hear that you had a motor fail due to our caps.. but as i said, i know for a fact those caps are shit and i would never ever recommend them to anyone.. but as for our radiators they are of high quality
I dont know how they are cheaper in the US when they are manufactured here, but thats not my issue, i'm a fitter and turning apprentice
as for testing, i have worked throughout the factory, when they come out of the furnace, the header plate to tube seal is checked by light, then they are sealed by test plates and pressurised and dropped into water to check for leaks from tubes ect.
They are then sent to welding, welders weld tanks ect on, everything is sealed (bungs, caps put on,) and repressurised, and dropped into water again to check for leaks from any welds
How long ago were these radiators purchased cause alot has changed, service is alot better than what it used to be, i've been at the company for near 2 years and since the start of this year, alot of changes have been made
Sorry for any bad experiences you've had with our product
The rads themselves are good but the stant cap does let them down and seems is known to them so you think they would address, so the radiator cap is installed and the rad pressure tested under water is it, this test should eliminate the possiblity of the filler neck warping during welding but as you can see just here, the problem rate is up there, also the spring/cam lever system on the stant shits itself as the plastic relief valve gets brittle over time but it in its seated position is what insures the cap base has the full force of the spring behind it.
Probably cheaper in the states due to their buy rate, but when you present PWR with a link for the prices they can be had for and your trying to do the right thing and support an Australian business you think they would come to the party, not the case, hence people just buy an overseas built unit for half the price, instead of competing when im sure they could, they will eventually do themselves out of business or not make the products that they cant compete with.
So when i get my car back together ill be using a new filler neck that accepts a common Jap rad cap such as OEM Honda, Greddy, trust make good aftermarket versions of, also the pressures that the stants run are abit higher then OEM suggest.
But yes, nothing worse then having temps with a decent motor that your worried about all the time or if the cap/rad is working as it should.
