Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and new to the celica. I was lucky enough to have a good friend of mine give me his 95 ST204 5S-FE. I replaced the battery and clutch master cylinder today and decided to start it up. I was sitting inside messing with the radio for maybe 20 minutes or so and I heard a pop. The whole top part of the radiator exploded off!!!!! Heat gauge was reading normal and the water pump was replaced before it was garaged for three years. Any idea what may have caused this? Any advice would help. I'm a diy kinda guy. Thank you!

Yes the plastic on the tank deteriorates with time but if the cap is defective it can cause pressure to build until the radiator explodes.
