hey my fiances ls integra has a small hole in her radiator and shes making a trip to northcarolina to come see me she lives in virginia... she had her car checked by her mechanic thats how she knows this... anyway i went ahead and got her a new radiator... my question is.. usually when u install a new radiator it is recommended to replace the thermostat correct?

 

recommended? that i dont know. would i do it? more than likely if it hasnt been replaced in a long time. do a flush and fill of the system and make sure you bleed the coolant system when filling it with coolant. air bubbles in your coolant system can cause retarded idle problems and overheating problems

 

i'd replace the thermo and the rad cap while replacing the radiator.
