overheating car with no heat, that is a thermostat problem correct?
yeah that, but i thought i would also explain what happened tooi think he is trying to say that his car is over heating, and the heater is not working properly, and is wondering if it is the thermostat.
heat it up w/ a torch...is it safe to test the thermostat in a pot i use to cook with and afterwards continue to cook with it??
i don't have a bleed screw to my knowledge, its a d16y7. i do know what you are talking about though my old 85 accord with the ec2 carbed engine had one.Coolant was on the underside of the hood? That happened to me when my rad cap wasn't on correctly and it was blasting coolant onto the underside of my hood instead of shooting it into the resevior.
The behaviour you are describing sounds like a closed thermo or too little coolant. When you filled the rad, did you open the bleed screw on the top of the engine @the rad hose?
didn't know that about water wetter, but i didn't use it anyway.someone correct me if i'm wrong but isn't water wetter no good. I think I remember reading that it deteriorate parts or foams or something.
see as how your at 164k I would replace the waterpump too. t-belt if you can afford it. bent valves suck.
