I think there is some merit in this. Of the big boosted TD42 I have heard fail (not many) it has always been as a result of 1 or 6 getting hot. Saying that I have seen them all crack between the liners. So a bigger intake manifold would help balance out all the cyclinders - well I feel it would. My2...

Hey Dez,

i found that that happened with my radiator too. I found that the fitting where the cap screws onto to filler was to deep and that the cap rubber couldn't seal. I ended up fitting a thicker rubber and this helped.

I hope this helps.
