and how would a car wit a blown head gasket run....

what kind of test..........

[EJX_Michael]

Isn't there also orange coolant too?

Im pretty sure ive seen ornage coolant before...

[jaykilla116]

a sense of releif

Here whats going on .......i repaird the engine mount and i bought timing belt, water pump idler, and tenioner............i got a chance to jack the car up and inspect........the goood new is the head gasket is completly fine so is the heater hose.......the bad news is that the water jacket is leaking were that metel bar and the bock meet so now i need to find this special gasket.... and that metal pipe that goes in to the block because i rather not use bull shit like jb weld or sealent......... (do the shit right)............ so any body had this problem and who knows wat that metal bar is called

[92bently]

the coolant pipe ahhh i forgot!!!i forgot that damn thing is back there...yeh it should seal with o rings and a gasket at the block..i would change all the orings for sure...and if the engine ran hot because of ur leak, i would put a thermostat in it too just to be safe...o when u put the orings back on and go to slide thhe tube back in, i suggest that u spray a little wd 40 on the orings....it will allow it to fully seat easily and will evaporate

[wed3k]

looks like someone just put water int he damn thing. id flush that out hardcore.

[BLUBB2]

Yea man just flush that shit out asap.
I recall a moment when my 3rd gen Prelude had the same color coolant.
I Just let that shit drain out in my backyard (dont recommend doing that) lol and put the nice green stuff that belongs in it.

[jaykilla116]

the news

very good news..... a Honda dealer in passic had the parts in stock in ony ran me about 60 bucks.......i used the lifts at school and changed it out mad easy to take out thees one 12 mm bot on the pipe and 3 10 mm bolts on the thermostat housing........also 2 bots on the ing coil pack......... but i dain the coolant manually threw the radiator to prevent a big mess............then re installed every thing wit the o rings lubed wit w d 40.........then i use the machine at school that flushes the system and i filled it wit green coolant.....also changed the hose in the over Flo tank every thing runs fine no type of leaks even under hi revs...............

hondaparts.com very helpful site for exploded views.

[ja23merz]

you should have put some rtv sealant on the orings to prevent leaks. you dont have to, but its a good idea

[jaykilla116]

here is what the pipe looks like for u guys that

might have the same problemm.... the end rotted out maybe it was because of that dumb orange coolant

[jaykilla116]

i think

sealeant is chezzzy

[d112crzy]

That wasn't orange coolant, that was rust with nothing but water. Or really, super old coolant.

[Gotz Cb7]

Isn't there also orange coolant too?

Im pretty sure ive seen ornage coolant before...

Yep, I have Orange Coolant myself. I don't see how you could have that much rust inside of the coolant system though. Unless it sat for years upon years. That waterpump has your coolant flowing at all times while driving.
