i decided to buy a new thermostat because who knows what hell it went thru in japan ya know? so i bought one for an h22 prelude.

the one i got from the parts store is too small. i thought it was the wrong one, so i went to a different store, and it was still very small.

what thermostat will fit? it jdm thermostat larger?

also, im having some intstall problems...

i get the gasket on, but i cant get the thermostat to sit properly... so it just leaks because it wont stay put.

what do i do?

Get a thermostat from a 93-95 lude.. Although I did use one from a 98 and it did take some time to fit up properly but it works till this day.. My engine is a 98 also..

Then a 96+ will be your best bet. Nothing too hard.

but how do i keep it in place when installing?

so it makes a good seal?

It takes time. Just put it up in there as best as possible and then put on the housing. It till me the better of 30 minutes to get mine on to the point where it was flush and not leaking. So just take your time..
