Nevermind, I just realized it's driven by the oil pump.
As some of you know, I've had cooling problems on my 03 VTEC since day one. I finally wised up and checked a main component after changing...
Pulled my radiators and fan. Back flushed the radiators, and my fan was too close to the radiator causing it to rub and not spin at max rpm. Put...
It's still having problems. Now it's climbing up into 235-240, and it popped a hose off of a radiator inlet (the clamp was loose) as soon as it...
Thanks, I read through that one when I found that photo. I'll take a shot at that one of these days, being that I'm not risking the motor or...
[IMG] This blue connector and green wires? Or is there other ground block of sorts I'm missing?
When you say top faring, do you mean around the headlight?
Gauge read 225-230°F and the hottest spot on the radiator tank I ever picked up was 197°F for a brief second, I never could get it to read that...
Oops, my mistake. It would be tough to get low resistance any other way than a bad sensor. I'll see what I can do about the radiators today at...
So a loose connection, bad switch, or corrosion will add more resistance, leading to a constant 35°F or so addition to the temp reading. That...
Actually Terry, when I used the IR thermometer I checked all over the front head near the exhaust ports. My amature brain didn't even think to...
The engine temp reading on the IR thermometer was very close to the LCD readout. I went on a ride today, my idle dropped back to 1200 RPM and...
Still not cooling properly. I'll be doing 60mph and the temp will climb to 220+ in 40°F weather. New thermostat, new rad cap, fresh coolant. I...
Thermostat changed! Went for a ride and it seemed good, but tomorrow I'll really see how she does. It's kind of a big pain in the ass to change...
I'll give my radiators a good cleaning just to be sure. My idle might be a few hundred RPM high, I'll drop that a bit.
Been having some cooling issues (I think) and just have a few questions. My service manual states the thermostat is fully open at 202°F. When...
Clutch is great, no issues there. No more bubbling out water either, the OEM cap fixed that. It definitely needs a thermostat, it's opening...
Ok I'll block it off if I can't find a lose hose. I have a service manual, and I double checked it to make sure I have the two black rings that...
I'm assuming that's for the pair valve, is that nipple supposed to be open like that? [IMG] This is where the pressure plate rides when the bolts...
Radiator cap, thermostat, and oil showed up. I'm contemplating going after the thermostat this weekend. Seems like a pain in the butt, and I...
