Radiator Cap

[sentra]

I am replacing the radiator on a 2002 1.8L Automatic Nissan Sentra. The radiator cap that came with the original radiator does not fit the replacement Denso 221-3405 radiator.

However, the radiator cap from a 1992 Ford Escort, with the same pressure rating, fits the Denso. My question is, is there anything i need to concerned about/ watch out for?

A call to Denso technical support was of no help. The man there claimed it was the first they had heard of the issue. However, he did offer to send a Denso radiator, but couldn't guarantee it will fit.

The Ford radiator cap will work fine. there's many different sizes of radiator caps. just make sure the pressure is the same. we only stock 3 caps and those 3 caps fit 90 percent of the cars on the road

No. Not really.
