Don't forget to turn on the heat! I followed BillMan's instructions and mine worked out beautifully!

 

Shiny new radiator installed and engine cool. I hate those f'ing little plastic plugs they use to hold the bottom fairing on instead of a simple bolt or screw. Gotta replace a couple now.

It was an easy job including the coolant bleed. I had the car slightly nose high on jack stands and poured in the coolant until the radiator was topped off. Then I opened the bleed screw on the block and took the rubber sock off the bleed hole on the heater loop. I poured in more coolant until it started coming out of the bleed screw and then closed it back up Got a good bit of air out of that one. Then kept pouring until coolant started coming out of the heating loop and put the sock back on that.

Started her up and didn't have to put much more in as she warmed up. Glad to have it done.

 

Glad to hear you got it done and it turned out well Ron.

 

 

Some pretty knowlegable people in here. Now I know who to contact when mine goes kaput.

 

Honda is proud of the s radiator---$$$$$. if mine cracks again, i'm buying a mishimoto all aluminum radiator. i still have my old one. might try to get the top cap replaced so i will have a spare.

 

I got lucky, the radiator I bought still had all the plugs, sensor, and even the radiator cap on it. It was strictly drop in and clamp down for me. Glad to hear that you got everything done, just in time for McDragon.
