Radiator replacement is not that expensive ($175 or so at bus depot) and not
that hard to do.  Gets more complicated if you need to do the whole cooling
system, though.

zero pressure cap but I'm not sure if it will hold with the real pressure cap.
What is the harm of running the coolant system with no pressure? I know that
the
coolant will boil at a lower temperature but that's not likely during a
Canadian
winter (is it?). I'd like to limp through until spring. Any suggestions/advice
would be greatly appreciated.
