Supposedly maintaining higher pressure in the radiator and all lines allows for the radiator fluid to stay in the water phase at lower temperatures. Good if you ever plan to run straight water, lol.

I just picked up a Tomei oil eliminator and Ralliart Thermostat. Hopefully these will keep temperatures down enough to not cause issues with the arc 1.5bar radiator cap.
