PSI of I/C Resevior Cap???

I lost the cap to my I/C resevior...... Yeah, I'm an idiot, butI have the I/C leak and add coolant about every month.

I replaced it with a 16 psi cap, like the one on the radiator. I hope that doesnt fck things up.

I believe the I/C cap has a 10 lb rating. You can get one from the dealer.

I just don't see it being a big pressure issue. Mine is almost never under any pressure when I open it. Maybe if it was a really hot day of street driving, but still then it's just a little little pufff.
