Time for me to stop procrastinating and finally change my coolant, couple of questions though:

1. THe engine drain bolt, is it that big bronze bolt on the front of the block, behind the ex. manifold?
2. Is it difficult to remove (looks real tight and awkward to work around behind the header)?
3. SHould I drain the coolant with the car level or will just the front up do?

TIA

 

1)sounds about right...but mine's not really behind the exhaust manifold. Maybe behind a corner of the manifold.

2)yes it's pretty tight usually. Hook up a good breaker bar.

3)You dont need to really lift any part of your car, but if you want to be sure/thorough, sure...life the back let it drain, lower it, lift the front, let it drain.

 

Just drain the coolant on the radiator. There is a drain bolt on the bottom of the readiator next to the lower radiator hose.

The older integra had a bleader valve there, but acura felt it wasnt needed so you should have one on the radiator.

i happen to have one of those older tegs

the radiator drain does a bad job of bleeding your water jackets.
