After replacing the water pump and flushing the cooling system, I recently replaced my black expansion tank cap with a green one which i later learned has a higher pressure rating (the older black one was hissing). Is there any reason not to do this on a seemingly solid cooling system, e.g., more wear on radiator and heater core?

thanks!
