i gotta change my head gasket,but another problem is it doesnt seem like the coolant is moving through the motor,when i open the rad cap when the motor is running i dont see any movement,is this normal?..i completly removed my heater/ac system and i rerouted the hose from the head to the block with one loop,is that the correct way to do that?..i need to make sure i can loop a coolant hose from the opening on the head under the vtec thing to the block behind the thermostat..could someone let me know if this is ok,post a pic or help me find a b16 coolant diagram or someway i can make sure this is ok

could someone bump my thread if it gets near the bottom..i gotta go to work

 

your thermostat has to open up first before you see any movement in the radiator. By then the water temp is too hot anyway, you should have the radiator cap on.

 

thanks for the info...i need to find somebody that makes a flexible hose that will seal better than the hose i got now..does anyone know any web sites where there are hoses i can check out?..can those silicone hoses be used for hot water/coolant flow?
