2002 Honda Civic - Change Thermostat

[@kevinm.8682]

great video, especially explaining the gasket. one mistake I made, I somehow got it in my head that the bracket goes inside of the piece that holds the thermostat in place.It goes on the outside. When I put it back together it leaked no matter how much I tightened it down. I ended up taking it to the shop, where the guy pointed out my mistake. Cost me a hundred twenty bucks, and I want to save everyone else from making the same mistake I made.

What bracket you talking about m8

[@paulc1014]

Engine sounds like it's gonna blow at any minute

[@tajyettawade9113]

Did it stop over heating after fixing the thermostat ?

[@danielritchie7215]

Probs breh. If its not the thermo it could be the fan switch.

[@Nocturnal_Introvert]

Exact same situation here - had my 02 for day, next day no heat and overheating

[@warrenzonator]

6:03 haha you're speaking the truth, man, why can't they make a funnel that actually pours and stays up properly? Always something like that when you work on stuff

[@benjaminvelazquez238]

When placing the gasket around the thermostat, does it matter which way it goes?

[@DuranDelvy]

I was wondering the same thing

[@JerichoS96]

I just did this. Awesome tutorial it really helped!!

[@TLil21]

Let me get that mixtape lol

[@sikandarali5887]

Awesome

[@sirjaxx453]

Why would you literally skip over the part where you actually insert the part the entire video is about WTF?

[@skeleton1337]

I have the same car in the same color. It’s a constant pain in my ass.

[@tteuvky]

Tell me one thing. i have same car. The engine hot coolant (when thermostat open) pass through Upper hose than pass by radiator and back to engine Or opposite?

[@nosilverharbinger]

I was just asking someone who was involved in manufacturing these thermostats for years about that. The thermostat is oriented so that the engine's coolant will contact the power pill (or other thermostat control mechanism - there are many). As the engine's coolant heats up it will eventually cause the thermostat to compress, opening a valve that allows the hotter coolant to pass into the radiator. The hotter the engine's coolant gets the more the thermostat compresses, until the valve fully opens, but it only opens a certain amount based on the temperature of the liquid contacting the pill. This is what maintains a certain amount of heat in your coolant system, and your heater core will produce heat on frigid days and nights when you need it the most as a result. Anyway, the hotter coolant will rise through the radiator fins, cool off, then return back to the engine through the upper hose and the cycle will repeat. Hope that helped.

nosilverharbinger Brilliant! I could visualize everything you explained.

[@keblechin6285]

Useful but take your fucking locks out the video

[@codysecora3844]

I'd be more worried about the sound of your engine man

[@jackjonson2696]

Hi mate i got this car. It revs up an down fluctuating idle sny idea how i could fix ?

[@Morphz_Unlimited]

Jack Jonson might want to check the idler

[@chriscruz8269]

Do you have to drain the antifreeze

[@juzrhyme712]

Yessir

[@chriscruz8269]

Ok thanks

[@evolutionentertainment8270]

@@juzrhyme712 how do you do that

[@juzrhyme712]

@@evolutionentertainment8270 at the bottom of your radiator there is a screw named the petcock, ( should be the color white) Twist it and the coolant will start flowing out, some people even open the radiator cap, so it can flow quicker Now if your radiator doesn't have a petcock, then you can just remove the lower radiator hose, and it will do the same thing.

[@anthonysigmon1702]

Did your heat ever start working after you changed the thermostat?

[@jthannan2696]

I'm wondering the same. I changed my thermostat and my heat quit working. And as simple as the job it I feel as if i did something wrong

[@obxguy1]

NIce work!

[@antoniojarquin7942]

Qué dice work ni qué carajos, no se mira nada, todo lo tapa el ca.....

[@grumet100]

[@AZtheOG]

[@josecolon6806]

[@humanityincvideos5114]

Glue what?

[@faceforradio2631]

Your hair got in the way a lot.

[@stevenmichaelwilson1915]

THE WRONG BROS. Envy?

[@jasper1754]

Never open the Radiator always use the overflow container

[@AlvlUpSavedMyLife]

Asher Craig lol Honda overflow container Isent under pressure, would help zero.

[@humanityincvideos5114]

Lol
