"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Your mission isn't to dive feet first into hell, but to make sure its crowded when you get there.

Instead of removing the radiator cap can't you just replace it with a really high rated pressure?
What we did was to run a cap on the radiator that has no pressure spring on it so the fluid passes through the overflow outlet/inlet as it needs to, then you put the pressure cap on the overflow tank with a line going from it down to the ground, or an overflow bottle, but it really shouldn't overflow from there.  You then fill up the radiator through the expansion tank, which is why you want the cap to be higher than the radiator.  This system is similar to a remote res on a shock, it allows the radiator to always be full with water and has extra in the res. to make sure air is never introduced into the radiator...
