As an update to mine, the Volvo cap has been holding up fine, but i have been struggling with bottle quality now. Seems each brand i get starts to crack at around 6-10 months of use.
Where is it cracking? You also have been having a lean problem right?
You may be running hotter than I am. I use a 180 F T-stat and keep my peak absolute temps down to about 205-210, with an average of 185-200 winter to summer. Both radiators are pretty new, same for clutch and water pumps.
I noticed the last time I had an overheating issue, the bottles seemed to look bloated at about 220 F. My sons 96 ford, and daughters 2001 Saturn run at 210-220 all year, cycled by the PCM-Temp sensor-E-fan.
I also run my e-fans all the time. Except on a cold winter morning. I stopped trusting the E-fan temp switches.
