Coolant system pressure test 6.0 L

[jimw]

I am getting ready to to a pressure check on my Crusaders 6.0 L. I seem to remember the pressure to put on the system is around 11 psi. Does this sound right?

Disregard. I just opened the engine hatch a it says on the degas bottle - 11psi. I new I had seen that figure somewhere. Sorry 'bout that. Oh well.

It's usally less than that.

Not anymore...us old-timers need to get with the modern stuff. Closure caps on HX running above 7 PSI is the norm as are thermostats with opening temps above 160 deg F...welcome to Y2K++.
