well i tore into my Accord's radiator is morning about 9 am it took 3 hours to pull it. now i need a new radiator. the top half of it cracked. i gotta go over to the service center order a fresh radiator at the service center. now it's on the lift in the barn until it comes in.

 

hi

 

radator

 

So you removed your old radiator without having a new one ready to put in?

 

right. i'm gonna order on Monday and probably finish it up next weekend.

 

Nice write up and pictures.

 

don't you love the detail??

 

why didn't you order the radiator and bring it home before you ripped out the old one?

 

That would have required foresight and, well, it is Water-S...

 

you suck at the radiator change

 

He spelled it correctly in his post so it's just a typo. Lord knows Derek isn't the first person to make typographical errors while posting on AZine..

 

the reason i didn't order it prior to tearing it out was my only day off was Sunday so I wanted to make sure it was the radiator was bad. I didn't want to order it and be something else wrong. The new one comes in today or Tues. so probably Sunday I'll have it road ready again.

 

Yeah F all the haters. You are smarter than a bag of rocks.

 

i semi agree - shouldn't take 3 hours to pull it out. How do I know - I have a 5G accord beater like you do and also changed out my radiator last November. Taking it out wasn't THAT hard, maybe 30minutes tops and it was my first time.

Now putting it on... that was a different story since I had a hell of a time getting the clamps on the hoses back on - specially the ones for the ATF.

 

bitches. make sure to do a couple of donuts in the barn to warm her up and test her out

 

Did your radator have dirty green water in it too? Thank God I got rid of that stuff before it gave me any problems.

 

I got it back together Tues. I haven't had it out for a road test. I've been busy with stuff. i'm thinking this weekend since I don't work I can road test it .

 

i love water s' threads

 

at least he read, comprehended, and responded to my question.

 

I don't know what year your accord is, but I've had to change it on a 93 and 95 accord, and it wasn't hard at all. We didn't even have to use a lift

 

Did you know when you Google the name Derek DeWeese it comes up with Derek Deweese, Rebel Union MasterKoon Leader? Derek do you like Star Wars?

never got into Star wars so that isn't me .

 

Thats actually pretty smart. In my old TT Supra it was leaking coolant. I wasnt 100 percent sure it was the radiator so I pulled it first...sure enough a fucking rock made its way through the entire thing.


FFA all the way!

 

hell yeah on the FFA. I was at state farmer degree when i graduated. my neighbor was National President.he'll probably working for the goverment like sec. of Agriculture so i'll have some connections with dept of Ag. eventally.
to get elected to national president of FFA you gotta be voted in and all this other stuff.

 

Multi-Millionaires don't usaully drive 300k Accords and change thier own radiators. More from water-S

 

dude you've never been on a farm so you don't know what your talking about . farmers usually do 95% to 99% of all the repairs to machinery. most cars work i do myself(unless it's something advanced like a Mercedes or BMW which has more computers than a NASA space shuttle) since my brother in law got his newer(not brand new 530) i don't mess with it cause it's so advanced. but Hondas,Toyotas,Chevys,Fords, most run of the mill cars i can fix.
did you forget I worked at Honda as a Honda certified mechanic plus my CRX i did all the mods myself including a engine swap.

 

still pissed cause you lost mod status.

Get off his back

 

I couldn't care less about that. I mean really..It's an internet forum.

 

Fixed.

 

 

yea..thats it.
