I have a 95 civic w/ a D16Z6. I checked my coolant the other day and noticed it was low. I filled it back up and went to bleed the system to make sure there was no air in the system.

Got out a 12mm socket, went over to the thermostat housing and BAM! Nothing. I checked my manual and the only picture they had was of it right there by the thermo housing.

So, can I get a picture of where the bleeder valve is? On my friend's F22 it's on the back of the block on the thermo housing, so I know what I'm looking for, I just can't find it.

Also, is there a possibility that my car doesn't have a bleeder valve?

Sorry for the tard question.

fallow the top radiator hose to the motor. you see where it connects. right on that connection will be a lil nut with a nipple. loosen that till all the bubbles come out.

btw your car has to be warm for the collant to actually flow throuhg the top tube.
tell me if this helps

I appreciate the help. I know how to bleed the system by letting the car warm up, thermo opens, bottom hose gets hot, ect, ect (how I had to do it because I couldn't find that stupid valve. )

I just want to find that damned bleeder or have someone tell me I'm not completely nuts and that there's a chance I don't have one. I'll have my friend try to find it when we're doing my clutch swap tomorrow.

I mean, it's hard to miss the nut. It's a 12mm w/ a nipple on the top of it. Only nut like that in the entire bay (that I'm aware of).

 

some cars do have it and some cars don't

Thank you. More or less what I was hoping to hear so now I don't think I'm going completely nuts.

If I could get a picture as to where EXACTLY it should be on a Z6 I'd really appreciate it.

 

the other way ive been bleeding it is to run the car with the cap off for like 10 15 minutes

 

Hey! I found it.
