That sucks Paul. Do you still think it is because someone messed with your radiator cap? No, I don't think anybody messed with it. Either a failing HG caused coolant pressure to build to move the cap, or it was a defective cap. Because, after we unloaded the car and I drove it home (10 min drive), the cap was beginning to spin off again. It had spun itself a 45* turn in 10 min. I have a new cap on it now, but the HG is still hurt. I just dont feel like busting my ass today and tommorrow to fix it, but I'm going to do it anyway. A new HG is coming tomorrow and I'll have the car on the dyno by Thursday afternoon no matter what.

I have a new cap on it now, but the HG is still hurt. Oddly enough I had the same think happen to me 2 months ago at the track. The stamped metal edges began to open up a bit and didn'thold the housing enough to keep it on. I noticed at the top of 3rd gear that I lost a gallon of coolant. Damn thing cost me a headgasket too. I'm running an stock evo cap now that solid as a rock. I hope you get everything together ok, hate to see you miss out on the dyno again.
