Ok, I just got a fresh B16 to put into my del sol, turned the key first time and she ran!!! but had a coolant leak, the pic below is where is was slowly dripping from. I couldnt find the other end anywhere and there are no other honda's in the area that I can snoop around at. any pics or descriptive info would be great. I havnt driven this car in 2 years and I miss it.

 

it goes to the coolant pipe from the upper rad hose attatched to the cylinder head.

X2 there is a small pipe by the upper radiator hose neck on the head.

 

mine doesnt have a hose on it and no coolant comes from the opening. Does this mean there's a feed line off somewhere. also this is on a ls-v

there should be one...

 

yup the nipple is there but no hose... where does the feed line come in for this nipple?

to the OP, im not trying to thread jack. Just thought i'd get my question answered since you brought this up w/o cluttering the board with a new thread

well come on man if you have two nipples but no hose it would be safe to say you need a hose. any auto parts store and no more than 10 bucks. don't forget the clamps.

ok maybe im just getting confused. which way does the water flow. Does it flow to the upper rad hose or does it flow away from it. In the pic posted above there is coolant coming out of the nipple. I dont believe mine even has a feed hose going to this nipple since there is no coolant coming out of it.

 

flows from the upper rad hose to the throttle body

 

ok thanks alot man, thats where i was getting confused. now i understand what your saying. thanks for the help

 

not a problem pm me if you need any more help

 

Alot of people (like myself) bypass that hose anyways.
Should not matter too much...Just more plumbing & heat to the TB & IM.

 

thanks everyone.
