@ ne-oving the radiator cap while the engine
is hot can cause the engine coolant to splay out, seri-
ously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiatol
cool down betore removing the radiator cap.
CAUTION: When poudng engine coolant, be sure to shut
the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the elec-
tlical pans or the paint. ll any coolant spills, rinse it otf
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temperature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cao.
3. Loosen the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator,
and remove the drain bolt from the enoine block. Let
the coolant drain out.

5.
Remove the reservoir from its holder by pulling it
straight up. Drain the coolant, then put the reservoir
back in its holder.
When the coolant stops draining, apply liquid gasket
to the drain bolt threads, then reinstallthe bolt with
a new washer. Tighten it securely
6. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
7. Mix the recommended antifreeze/coolant with an
equal amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
. Use only HONDA-RECOMMENOED antifreeze/
coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the engine coolant
concentrations must be maintained year-round at
50% MINIMUM. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection
against corrosion or freezing.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix ditterent blands ot anti-freeze/
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitois or anti-rust
products; they may not bs compatibl€ with the
recommgndsd engins coolant.

9. Loosen the bleed bolt on top of the engine. Tighten
it again when coolant comes out in a steady stream
with no bubbles.

1O. Refill the radiator to the base of the tiller neck. Put
the cap on the radiator. and tighten it only to the tirst
stop, Stan the engine and let it run until it warms
up (the radiator cooling fan comes on at leasttwice).
11. Turn oft the engine. Check the level in the radiator,
and add coolant it needed. Install the radiator caD,
and tighten it fully.

Cap Testing
1.Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine
coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure ol:
93- 123 kPa(O.95- 1.25 kgJ/cm', 13.5- 1 7.8 psi)
Check for a drop in pressure.

PRESSURE TESTER
Pressure Testing
1.Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the top of the filler neck.
Attach the pressure tester to the radiator and apply
a pressure of:
93- 1 23 kPa(O.95- 1.25 kgf/cm,. 13.5-17.8 psi)
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a dfop in
pressure,
Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
NOTE:
a Check for engine oil in the engine coolant and/or
coolant in the engine oil.
a Check for ATF in the engine coolant and/or
coolant in the ATF (A/T).

Inspection
Remove the timing belt (81881 engine: see page
6-1O, B18C1 engine: see page 6-49).
Check that the water pump pulley turns counter-
clockwise,
Check for signs ol seal leakage.
NOTE: A small amount ot "weeping" from the
