September 18th, 2009 06:19 AM #41sir salamat sa advise......ask ko na lang din kung magkano nagastos mo sa pagpapalit ng head gasket???
Just last night, i bought a steel epoxy....nilagyan ko na yung may leak sa ibabaw ng engine....i hope it works. pag na test ko bukas at hindi na nagbabawas yung water sa reservoir eh im very sure radiator ang problem. If still nagbabawas, either may leak pa rin or yun nga....baka head gasket.....sana hindi naman. Pero I remember, di naman nangyari yung bumulwak yung radiator ko, kasi ginawa ko na yung few days ago, may nag advise kasi sakin na gaun yung gawin, wala naman bubbles.

may leak nanaman radiator ko. twice ko na pina-overhaul recently kaya i've just decided to get a new rad. question ko is since stock naman ang ek vtec ko. is it advisable to get a 2 row rad? or should i just stick to one row? i rarely drive my car hard naman
at saka ok ba iyong adr brand (taiwanese)? kasi hirap mag-hanap ng evercool dito sa amin. and cheaper nga din pala iyong adr
btw, sabi ng isang suki kung talyer sarado na daw ang evercool. totoo ba?

update lang po. i tried to fix the small leak on my radiator (top) with pioneer steel epoxy. Then Saturday morning, tried it and used it the whole day, Sunday and Monday. Awa ng dios hindi nagbawas yung radiator reservoir. So, I think yun yung culprit sa problem ko sa radiator. Pero alam ko sooner or later babalik yung problem, well, I guess that time eh may pang pagawa na ko or much better kung pang palit ng new one.
On the otherhand, pansin ko bumalik yung oil leak ko, banda dun sa may oil pan (right side nung engine if your facing on the hood), sinilip ko eh parang dun galing sa side ng timing belt. Quite odd kasi kakapalit ko lang ng timing belt 1 month ago and pati mga seals like crankshaft/camshaft, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket eh nagpalit na ko.
Pero yung oils seal hindi pinalitan kasi sabi nung mechnic ok naman daw. San po kaya galing yung leak na yun? unti lang naman....pero nakakairita pa rin kasi...
again, yung oil leak is below the timing belt area (i think, confirm ko bukas).

WTF. Mga ungas ba sila para tanggalin ang thermostat? Buti pinakabitan mo na ulit at bago pa.
Ang pagkakaalam ko ang thermostat ganito ang ginagawa niya:
a) ang engine mas mabilis masira kapag pinaandar ng malamig so ang thermostat ay inilalagay ang engine sa kanyang tamang temperature. "yung gitna lang ng temperature gauge natin" (normal reading kumbaga)
b) kapag naabot na ang "normal temperature", ang purpose naman ng thermostat ay panatiliin ang ganitong temperature.
So kung wala ito, overheat ang aabutin mo. Ano ba naman yan hehe.
correct me if I'm wrong about certain details, basta yun ang pagkakaalam ko sa thermostat.

since i'm going to be replacing my radiator hopefully by today, anyone here knows approximately how much coolant/distilled water is needed to fill the whole cooling system of a civic vti?
as above, if you want to go OEM-style, get a "spare tyre lock". but i use an ordinary cheap...
