Default Radiator Neck Issue

Howdy all,

My radiator neck will no longer keep my radiator cap on properly. The grooves that hold the cap in place are worn out or something... therefore the cap won't stay on all the way properly and my Jeep is prone to overheating.

I managed to bend a radiator cap enough to stay on the radiator enough so I can make short-duration trips.

Is there a way to fix this issue without replacing the entire radiator? Thanks.
