Stock b18 in a coupe and you installed a full size radiator? Did you get hoses for the b18 or for your civic? Did you bleed the air from the coolant lines when you installed the new rad?

did you get the head resurfaced flat after the blown head gasket? enough coolant? did you do a mix or just water?

make sure fans are cutting on. may have left one unplugged when changing out radiator? and even tho not likely, clutch may have been put in backwards

yeah full size and the hoses i just matched to work out of our loc. napa store yeah i bleed the lines some maybe not enough tho.

the brand new clutch problem. did you replace the fly wheel? or at least get it resurfaced?
no i didnt replace the fly wheel or have it resufaced didnt think ab that it has a light weight fedanza in it

the timing is dead on !

the fans are wired up to come on win the car comes on .

Wire the fan correctly and make sure all the air is out of the system. Does it overhead sitting or on the highway?

With the clutch, did you get the slave cylinder replaced?
