Default Have any of you tried the Mr. gasket ThermoCap Radiator Cap?

Do they go on a certain way? No lines on it or arrows to match up with my over flow resavoir tank hose? I don't want to have a exploding radiator due to pressure or whatever. Do you just screw it on and that's it or is there something I need to match up on this thing. You can see it here >>>> http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...160_AA160_.jpg

It fits good on the Monte but I don't want to screw up (No pun intended, he he he). Figure I would see if any of you guys had heard of it or have one? Did you line it up a certain way or just screw it on?

Thanks, Eugene

the impresion that i got and it is a opinion it showes the coolent pressure so you dont take it off when it has to much pressure or when hot. but why would you take the cap off when it is hot?

I don't know why someone would want to do such a thing but I do need to know if there is a certain way to put this thing on or if I just screw it on till it's tight. I'm used to the standard Radiator caps that have the arrows pointing to the resvoir hose. This thing doesn't have 'em.

Okay the little Thermal Cap hicky works good. It makes me want to pop my hood and look at it everytime I come home from work just to look at the Thermastat thingy. pretty cool.
