Integra Overheating? after 30 mins?
Just bought an 91 integra and drove it around the block a few times and it was doing fine on all gauges. no overheating or anything. then the next day i started it up and let it run for like 30 mins to charge up the batterya dn it was doing fine then i jumped to 3/4 way up on heat. and stayed there. obviously i turned it off as to not blow a headgasket or anythting. could this be the t-stat? the guy i bought it from said it ran hot before but he never noticed it. anyone had similar situations? this is my first b-series (used to CRX) so i am gonna have to do some research if it is a blown HG. thanks

fans are kicking on fine...and oil is not milky (had a few blown HGs on my d15). i am thinking it has to be the thermostat. I will replace it tommorow and see, thanks

Just out of curiousity how about checking the coolent? and maybe bleeding the coolent so that you dont have any bubbles that can cause the thermostate from functioning
Well in any case if you want to bleed the coolent look for the coolent bleeding screw on the "return radiator housing" it should be right by the dizzy. lose the screw alittle bit then pop the radiator cap, turn the car on and then turn your heater on at FULL BLAST let it run for at least 15-20 mins and look at your radiator if you see bubbles come up then you HAD bubbles in your coolent and it is slowly going away. Ater 20mins turn your car off let it cool down and slowly put the cap back on. During the time that you are bleeding it and you run low on coolent keep the car running and just fill it up slowly.
"WARNING DO NOT POP THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN IT IS PRESSURIZE" this mean if your car is at warming temperature do not go and pop the cap you might have pressure water that will spit up and give you 2nd degree burn. As long as you have the cap off when the car is cool until warming temp then you're fine.
