Thermostat and Thermostat Housing Replacement - Honda CRV (2002-2006)

[@MegaCalvinMan]

Just found your channel for some info on the k24 work. Love how you do videos in both languages, I think that’s awesome and people are gonna really catch on the more vehicles you show on here. I know when I’m looking for this type of stuff I’m usually just searching for the engine / vehicle I’m working on. This is great content, very detail oriented and lighting / camera angles are really good. Hope your channel blows up man

Thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate your feedback regarding the way you search information (engine/vehicle) Is will see if I can do more emphasis on that. Again your feedback is really appreciated, this will help me to make a better content. Regards.

Thank you for the video. Question: Other YT videos show the thermostat replacement can be done from below. Is the method in your video better? Why?

[@TheNomadMechanic]

Thanks for your comments and adding your question the method I shown I would not say is better is just a different approach. Do this from underneath the car I could be faster but a bit more messy and sometimes frustrating. Either way is good personally I prefer to work with more space and in a bit cleaner way. I hope this answer your question.

​@TheNomadMechanic The thermostat, housing, starter, and knock sensor can absolutely be done from underneath. The thermostat being the easiest. The housing and starter require a little blind feel and finesse. If the heater core pipe into the housing is the problem (and often it is) you have to do it from above because that's where it's mounting brackets are, just past the throttle body. If you have to replace the pipe, make sure you get an OEM o-ring. Aftermarket ones are not always thick enough and can lead to a poor seal and you'll end up doing the job again. Hope that helps.

Thanks brother

I need to change my radiator fan switch but they say you have to know what brand thermostat you have. Does that even matter?

[@TheNomadMechanic]

No, one thing is not really related to the other one. As long as you buy the fan switch for your specific vehicle you should be fine.

You forgot to put black silicone on the o ring tube

[@TheNomadMechanic]

I did not, you don’t “have to” put silicone

[@EddieNYC02]

@@TheNomadMechanic oh ok awesome thanks for your feedback I installed it without silicone because I put a brand new O ring oem original Honda it works perfect and no leaks .

[@TheNomadMechanic]

⁠@@EddieNYC02Great, same situation with the CRv of the video the new o-ring was enough and didn’t leak at all. Thanks for watching!!!

[@OfficiallyGuChi]

Ive never added any sort of silicone paste or sealant when its a brand new part and o ring. My understanding is a paste and sealant is added is because the part is being reused and not new or a mix. From all the cars ive worked on and replaced have never used sealant or gasket maker. Only time sealant gasket maker is used with a gasket is wen the workshop calls for it in specific spots like replacing a valve cover and needs sealant in corners and a small dab around the camshafts. Have yet to experience a leak.. knock on wood! 🪵
