Timing belt/water pump change - how much coolant is needed?
When you remove the water pump, how much of the coolant makes its way out? Would I need to buy a whole new container of it?

i normally just buy 2, fill it up completely, fill overflow tank halfway inbetween low/high, then keep adding (after its been running/cool down) to overflow tank until its settled in between low/high again.

Ok, so that's for a coolant flush. But what about when you're doing a timing belt change, does all the coolant make its way out of the water pump?

The practice normally is to drain the coolant completely before changing the water pump.
Are you trying to avoid doing this because your coolant is relatively new?
The coolant does not bleed all the way out, since the pump is at the top of the block - you can probably get away with just topping it off with some distilled water depending on your location (does it freeze where you are?)

You knew what I was thinking without me even mentioning it. Thanks

**** bleeding the system is easy, just run it till hot wait for upper and lower hoses to heat up and then just open the bleeder screw.
hondas are easy compared to cavaliers, those you literally have to force a vacuum in the system to bleed.
