Knock another test off the list.
Just did a cooling system pressure test. Pumped it up to 15psi. Found that it only dropped 2.5 psi over 10 minutes and I don't think that's bad at all. I couldn't hear, see or smell any leaking at all.
Edit: I'm going to rerun the test with another testing cap and tighten it up even further to see how it does.
Edit-2: Reran the pressure test with another testing cap and really tightened it up this time. System held 15psi for over 5 hours without dropping any pressure. I'll call that good. Now on to draining the system and looking for blockages.
