Talking about Stant Radiator pressurizers.

Kevin Baker

Do you mean radiator cap?

ELLSSUU

No. I'm talking about the pressure test tools. I know someone on here has one but it's not in the search function.

I have a Stant ST 255, bought it years ago, works great on my '84 NA.

I would not buy a cheaply-made Stant product. I used it once on my 944 NA and it overheated worse. The problem is, if you leave the car undriven for any period of time they tend to rust out, or fail soon, becasue they stick. Thanks to the use of inferior materials- Stant thermostats, gas caps, and coolant caps are intended by the manufacturer to be a regular maintenance item, which I find nonsense.

Porsche uses either Wahler, or Behr-Thomson cooling products. They both are reliable, and made with the high-quality only Porsche expects. As far as thermostats go- they both use at least 98% corrosion-resistant brass materials. Stant and other aftermarket items have about 15% brass content. The price differential is insignificant, when weighing out the reliability of the OEMs. You will go through 2-3 cheapies before an OEM part fails.

Stant coolant pressure tester. I have one, when I get a chance I'll see what model it is. It works great! Helps in bleeding, finding leaks......great tool! i think the standard kit has all you need in it. I'll get back, a little later with number.

ELLSSUU,

I bought my tester as a kit already together in a plastic case. Stant tester kit number 12270. This "basic" kit has everything you really need to work with our cars. You can buy a ton of different adapters to use on different vehicles, but I've found as the basic kit, you really don't need anything else to go with it for the coolant system part anyway.

Napa Balkamp kit number: 700-3025
Carquest kit number: 46900
