Also may want to pressure test cap to make sure it holds proper pressure

PS: don’t overfill

I will look to see if my caps are on correctly, how can I go about pressure testing the cap?

Thanks

If you own a pressure tester kit, it should have an adapter to put cap on one end & tester on other,,,then pump it till it releases pressure...only will take a pump or 2....be sure it goes up to or near the psi/kpi stamped on the cap

I don’t own one, I might look into getting one. If it’s to pricey I’ll go for new caps. Thanks for your help. Do you know if the cat rattling can have a bad effect on my engine?
