Default Thermostat replacement video 90-93 Accord

Hey everyone. I have a series of videos I've made showing how to do various things to 1990-1993 Accords.
I'm primarily at cb7tuner, but I wanted to share the wealth over here as well.
I din't see anyway to embed Youtube videos, so here is the link:

I'm always open to feedback. I'll slowly post the other ones as well.

Edit: Nifty beans! It did it all by itself.

Not sure if you opened the heater control valve - set heat to max - when re-filling the rad or not. This helps to get any air out of the heater core.

I wouldn't offer my feedback but since you asked...

You have some good information to offer so you get points for that but there are other better videos available.

It's frustrating watching someone do this that is utterly disorganized. Clean up and organize your shop/tools, better lighting is good and try to make the video under 5 minutes if possible.

Where I come from draining antifreeze onto the floor and down the floor drain is a crime. Anyone watching this video please contain ALL fluids from your vehicle and recycle them.

You get a below average rating from me but thanks for trying to help others.

That's correct. I can't remember if I did or not. I think my mentality was if I left it closed, the coolant wouldn't be able to escape.

Thank you for the pointers.

Organizing the putting away my tools is a constant problem. I'm always trying to fix it, but the issue comes after a long day of working on my car I just want to go inside and sleep.
I usually just move the tools out of the way and leave them out.

I typically do try to catch fluids, but the position that the thermostat is in makes them rain down in various locations. I employ oil soak and degreaser when I'm done.

I've built my computer for video editing, but never actually got around to learning how to do it.
Once I do, the videos will be much nicer. I won't have to worry about shooting it all in one go.
They're all shot with a Go Pro, which is inherently shaky.


Edit: I found where my coolant was going: into my cabin!
I tried doing a video on that but it was frustrating and took me a few weeks.
