Does anyone have a pic of the place where i drain the coolant from the block??? if no pic, then can someone give me a very accurate description of what it is near???

 

IIRC, it's on the back of the block.

If you're flushing your coolant, just drain it from the radiator.

 

I need to get all of the shitty coolant out though. If i just drain it from the radiator, will the coolant in the block cycle out??? Also, when I flush the radiator, do I use a normal hose and normal water to run through the radiator????Or do I need distilled water to flush out the old crap??TIA

the drain is right behind the header, to the right of the Block #

thanks...but does anyone know what kind of water i should be using???? I have Type2 coolant from Honda, so I just need to know what water i need to use to flush the system. I will not actually be using hose water for my coolant.. thanks again

 

No water son...Honda #2 Coolant is premixed.

 

Aha, I remember wrong.

I guess I got mixed up somehow when I had to reinstall all the fittings on my block.

I know that i do not need to add water to the coolant mixture. What I am asking is that when I run water through the radiator (to flush it) and I am waiting for the water to come out clear, then should I be using distilled water to do this flushing or will normal hose water be ok?

 

that looks familiar...

hey! thats MY VIN!!

the how-to on the coolant gimmick is on bseries.net if j00 need more help. use distilled water and some anit freeze instead of wasting $ for honda **** IMO..

thanks again and sorry for the confusion. you guys are the best. i got nothing to do taoday, so the time is gonna be dedicated to the R

 

A mineral free water that's sold at Pep Boys or Auto Zone...any of them would work. I know that Prestone makes one.

Sorry for not understanding your question, although I figured thats what you might be gettin at...

sofresh I thought that was your picture...https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=233918

For those of your with a block heater. The coolant drain, is where the electrical cord plugs into block.

EDIT: Which is the same place as pictured above...just wanted to clarify.

I'll be moving to Toronto in the next year and I was wondering how helpful do you think a block heater is? How much are they and were they ever an option in the USDM ITRs?

If you intend to do any serious work on your own car, you must buy the service manual. It's the best $64 you can spend on your car, and it will pay you back many times over. You can buy one here.

 

that is so true. just get that and you dont have to waste time waiting for a response from a member. alos that information could alos be WRONG. not everyone here knows what they are talkign about, so becarefull of what you take in from these boards. good luck and may the force be with you

 

if you want to run about 30 degrees cooler, run distilled water and redline water wetter. do not do this in areas where it freezes overnight, but highly recommended down here in the warmer climes of FL.

 

All those have and are in Favor of Helms say "I"...

Is this fully safe on a car with AC?

FREEZING POINT DEPRESSION
Red Line WaterWetter® does not significantly reduce the freezing point of water. If the vehicle will see freezing temperatures, an antifreeze must be used. Water expands approximately 9% upon freezing which can cause severe engine damage. Even in summertime, the use of air-conditioning can blow freezing air through the heater and cause freezing of the heater core unless approximately 20% antifreeze is used.
