    Howdy Gents,

    While replacing my rad cap, I noticed the aftermarket one from the Honda shop is rated for 156kpa or 22psi.
    I'm not sure if this is the same as stock, but I'm wondering if there's any harm in choosing a higher rated rad cap?

    thanks in advance

    Me? Having replaced all the hoses and clamps on my 5th Gen, and eyeballing the potential robust-ness (is that a word?) of the entire system…I would stick with stock/factory specifications.
