Not sure how this makes any difference between the two installations since the cap looks the same all the way around....... I guess I will leave it upside down for now and see what happens. Looks like I will keep the Pep Boys cap for one of my other two Vehicles.

I bent the tabs too, it doesnt leak coolant but check your heater and see if your loosing heat. Excellerate too a few times and then check it periodically, see if you still have heat below 90. No flux in the temp, but I think my cap is leaking air.
