is installing a new thermostat tommorow for my first time. how hard is it and is there anything i should watch out for?

 

installing a new thermostat is almost as easy as installing new spark plugs. it's rediculous how easy it is.

but it's messy, and make sure you buy a tube of hondabond sealant or some similar silicone sealant to use when you put the new thermostat in.

and make sure you bleed the bubbles out of your coolant system properly when you refill the coolant. if you don't, your engine might stumble or surge when idling.

here's a bit of advice: don't let the antifreeze get all over your driveway or lawn if you own pets. animals will drink the coolant because it's sweet, but it's highly poisonous.

 

ok thanks.
