Hey kids, I'm continuing my ghetto maintenance in style.

My radiator had a very minor corosion leak at the bottom, so I'm replacing it in my parking lot. Rock Auto ( http://www.rockauto.com ) had a great price on a 1.25" (not that thin 5/8" crap) radiator for the 2.3. Copper and Plastic, $105, I'm guessing construction doesn't really matter since I don't pimp my ride.

But once I get the new radiator swapped in, does anyone know if Honda was kind enough to provide bleed valves for the coolant lines? Or do I have to burp them manually? I didn't see any on my quick inspection.

Also any comments on using some kind of Leak Stop or such in the radiator until the new one gets here? I still gotta get to work and back...

 

BTW, the stealership quoted me $575 to replace the radiator. I told them I only need 1 replaced, not 3. I hope their managers die in a fire.

 

that's too funny

Thats only 5/8", hustla. I thought the manual w/ AC needs a 1". And if it doesn't then hell, I just want it bigger. dongs.

oops mine was for a 3.0cl, well theres alot of auctions on ebay for the 2.2 and 2.3 cl

 

dont use the pepper type stop leak.. it clogs up your coolant ports in the head and could make it blow a head gasket. or over heat.. just add water.

 

Thx, I bought a bottle and have been looking long and hard at it. Glad I didn't end up using it.

asianspec: seriously its a 150hp car.

I don't understand some people heres urge to drop money into the 2.3/2.2 engines. Its not going to do anything real unless you spend $5000 and you should just spend that money on the downpayment for a new G35

 

it's a hobby..

at least for me it is

 

that and self pride. to some people this is their anti-drug!
