so my friend wants to buy this prelude but there is one problem with it and its that it overheats. Him and I are good friends of the owner, he said that he took out the radiator and flushed it out and it was flowing fine. Its not a head gasket because it doesnt smoke white and doesnt use anti-freeze. The oil pump is pumping oil so I know its not that. so Im guessing that something is blocking the line somewhere, or the water pump went. any sujestions? the car is in perfict condition and has no rust, engine runs perfict and nothing majorly wrong with it, just needs some clean up. the enigine is a B21A1. thanks.

 

What year is the prelude. Buy a water pump and swap it out to see if it works.

 

Check the Basics:
Thermo-Stat
Rad. Hoses
Water Pump
Headgasket
