Edelbrock surge tank cap failure?
 

Hi guys,


Been running an edelbrock SC on my frs for the last few months. Recently after an oil change I saw a lot of dried coolant in my engine bay around the surge tank/radiator area and was suspecting some sort of leak. I noticed the surge tank for the SC was a little low, so I topped it off, and went on my way. I also noticed that the cap (motorad t35) was not fitting quite 'right', in that 1. it was a little crooked, and 2. It was kinda like a pill bottle; screw it past a certain tightness and it would loosen up again. I'm assuming this isn't normal and have a replacement cap ordered. Has anyone seen anything similar in their edelbrock? I'm assuming you should be able to screw on the surge tank cap tightly right?


Thanks!

They'll warranty it for you. Contact your vendor, and they'll facilirate it.

Thanks Mike, I'll be reaching out the shop I got it installed in. How topped off should the surge tank be when the car is cold? I see a 'Max' line, but I assume it should only be that high when the engine is hot?


Thanks!

I don't think that's a real thing.

Then you're going to the wrong vendors.

I googled vendors who facilirate and it looks like CSG is the only one. Those guys are amazing.

I dont know, I facilirate stuff at my job all the time. I think its more common than you think.

It should always be above the flowing portion in the bottom, to facilitate self-bleeding.
