HOW DO YOU BLEED THE RADIATOR?
Look at the upper radiator hose... where it connects with the block, there should be a nut with a hole in it, GENTLY loosen this slightly, and the air should bleed out while the engine is on. Once you get a stream of coolant out of it. Tighten it up. I can't remember the procedure for the B16A, but I'm 99% sure that's it. Just be GENTLE on that bleeder nut, it will crack, and you'll be screwed.

when the car is cold you can remove the radiator cap. honda says turn the heat on and set the blower to max speed, wait for the radiator fan to come on twice and you're done. honda's way takes forever so to speed things up i rev the motor at 2k. once the lower hose starts to get warm, turn the blower to the lowest setting. keep revving the motor until the lower hose is too hot to touch, then increase blower speed and wait for the radiator fan to energize twice.
i just idled in a parking lot, took the rad cap off and let it bubble untill it wouldnt take anymore coolant and stopped bubbleing.. took all of 5 mins and havent had a problem yet

Thanx much, I used a radiator funnel, and let it bubble out. after it warmed up, It started to rise up and down, eventually spilling over. I killed it and put cap back on. I'll use bleeder in the morning to make sure... Took a bunch of sunset pics of my buddy's SI and my HF. Will post tonight!!
