What is the correct pressure spec for the OEM expansion tank cap? As there are now other options for an expansion tank, one being the aluminum tank with billeted neck that accepts only billeted caps but not the OEM cap, would the pressure spec for either type of cap OEM or Billeted be the same?

R50 models: Both models use a pressure cap to pressurize the cooling system to 1.1 bar (16 psi) at which point the cap valve will lift to relieve pressure.
