**Standard Thermostat**
Lift height: above 10.0 mm (0.39 in.)
Starts opening: 169-176°F (76-80°C)
Fully open: 194°F (90°C)
Additions:
1. Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester (commercially available).
2. Attach the pressure tester (commercially available) to the radiator and apply a pressure of 93-123 kPa (0.95-1.25 kgf/cm2 , 14-18 psi).
1. Disconnect the 2P connectors from the radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling6.gif See image]]
1. Suspend the thermostat in a container of water. Do not let the thermometer touch the bottom of the hot container. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling7.gif See image]]
2. Move the auto-tensioner to remove tension from the alternator-compressor belt, then remove the alternator-compressor belt. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling8.gif See image]]
5. Check for signs of seal leakage. A small amount of "weeping" from the bleed hole is normal. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling10.gif See image]]
4. Remove the water pump by removing the six bolts. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling11.gif See image]].
6. Install the water pump, with a new O-ring, in the reverse order of removal.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling12.gif See image]].
4. Remove the drain bolt from the right side of the cylinder block. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling13.gif See image]].
5. After the coolant has drained, apply liquid gasket, PN 08718-0009, to the drain bolt threads, then reinstall the bolt with a new washer and tighten it securely.
8. Remove the bleed cap from the heater bypass tube. [[http://www.garage411.com/images/Honda/Ap1/Engine/Cooling14.gif See image]].
9. Loosen the air bleed bolt in the intake manifold, then pour Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 into the radiator to the bottom of the filler neck. Do not let coolant spill on any electrical parts or the paint. If any coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
~-Always use Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 (PN OL999- 9001). Using a non-Honda coolant can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail.

10. Tighten the air bleed bolt as soon as coolant starts to run out in a steady stream.
11. Reinstall the bleed cap on the heater bypass tube as soon as coolant starts to run out in a steady stream.
12. With the radiator cap off, start the engine and let it run until warmed up (radiator fan comes on at least twice). Then, if necessary, add more Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 to bring the level back up to the bottom of the filler neck.
13. Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
14. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
