Do these cars have a bleed screw or certain procedure for bleeding air bubbles out the coolant? Recently did a water pump and noticed the temp level rising past the center mark. Should I just removed the Rad. cap and set the heat to high and hold the rpms up? Or is their a screw some where?

Thanks! Always appreciate the help

Car is a Stock 97 Civic LX

easiest way is to leave the cap off and let it run for about 30 minutes.. the air bubbles should come up out the radiator

Jack front end up off ground, use ramps, or an inclined driveway
start car, turn heat to full blast
remove cap and fill

rev engine a little while squeezing hose
when coolant gets low, refill and repeat

do this till no more bubbles show up, finished

Not really all too neccesary to bleed the system, thats why the new water outlets dont have a bleeder screw. The mechanic at honda told me that when I asked him how im suppose to bleed the system. I didnt bleed mine and never had a problem.

as long as your thermostat has a jiggler pin, just fill it up, squeeze the hose and keep adding coolant until it stays at the neck of the radiator. then put a little extra in the resevoir which will draw itself in the next time it cools down.
