how many liters of coolant did you pour there? cheers
Thanks for the video. Do you have to bleed the cooling system after changing the thermostat?
NO GAP!!! Good advice, but I couldn't see the bottom of housing so must have got thermo/gasket in squiwampus and had a drip, drip leak, aww crap! drained it again, took it apart and carefully checked that there was NO GAP!!! the second time and that everything fit tight. YAY!!! No leak!! Thanks for the video, it really helped. This is the first problem I have had in 271,000 miles, so don't really agree with 2002 1.7 not being a good engine…Knock on wood…Thanks again
Why do so many start off with "This is not the kind of video I usually do."? Do people really care about what kind of video you usually do? Just wondering.
see my Google doc instructional taken from various sources https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Oq9VB1YtJyx1M6u4g860X-1CEbjrG3yNJjJ8tBeh5g/edit?usp=drivesdk
Is it my imagination or at 2:05 is the thermostat in upside down because pin is on top in relation to sensor on right, but installed the tempersture sensor goes on the left so the bleeder pin would be on bottom, not where it's supposed to be

I ran my civic hard for like 10 mins whole radiator blows and thermostat fries
motor keeps breaking,?? my 2003 civic ex, has never (broken).
