John, instead of refilling the system with the old coolant, you would be better off filling it with water or pushing the vehicle out to the driveway. This will keep any contaminants out of the smaller passages of the radiator (you noted the sludge in the block drain plug). Why ruin your new radiator, right?
is the hose that goes to the firewall from the thermostat the 5/8 size?
Dude!!! My water connecting Pipe Is leaking badly, I haven't found a DIY video Yet, it's frustrating!!
Hey buddy, your video is awesome, Thank you very much.
Hey man I really like your video it was super informative, and you spoke very clearly which made it easy to apply the what you were taking about.
I do have a question for you, directly above the upper coolants hose there's a black circle and im leaking engine oil from it. Could you tell me what that is and possibly how to fix it? Thanks abunch hope to hear from you.
How did you make that coolant flush valve?
Absolutely THOROUGH and great Job. I enjoyed watching this very much.
Currently im using this video for the bypass hose (the u-turn one) and thermostat replacement, but i know what I'll use when i can get around to a full coolant system refresh
My new partners 01 just blew a hose, never seen her car engine before, and told her i will fix it….. im an old hand, but thank you VERY much for showing me what i have gotten my self into.
Phenomenal video. Thank! Quick question: I drove my CR-V to Mexico and it's been running great. The PO put in a new radiator. Before I left, I put in a new thermostat and new upper and lower hoses because they looked old. On the way down I had a minor over-heating issue but nothing serious. Now I discovered that I'm losing coolant somewhere but there are no leaks that I can see.
The local mechanic says it might be a blown head gasket, but I'm not getting any symptoms other than some bubbles in the coolant reservoir. Could one of those lower hoses (heater core hoses, intake hoses) cause this? I didn't know there were so many hoses down there. I'm trying to find a solution before I drive back. I was just going to replace the radiator because I thought that maybe he damaged it upon install. Anyway… thanks for the detailed video. It really helped. Sorry for the long comment.
