    Thanks Jim. I found disconnecting the wiring from the alternator much easier when you remove the valve cover. You can flip the entire wiring harness back out of the way of the valve cover.

    The key to keeping the crank pulley keyed to the crank is to not loose the key that keys it. That my friends is the key!

      Every time you go in to the water pump it is wise to replace both at the same time!

    Hey brother....so I bought a radiator for my 03 civic....installed it and it is still overheating when I drive it more than 40 minutes....would a head gasket cause it to overheat?

    I got lost on the way the timing belt should be set to avoid engine issues. What are the markings supposed to add up too

    Jim, go to SMA and look at the crank socket eric uses on hondas. They make taking the bolt out easy peasy. I think eric has it on his amazon store. Take care.

    Hello Jim,
    Love the video and instructions, would like to know how do I go about purging the air out ?

    • @jimthecarguy
      @jimthecarguy  5 лет назад +1

      The best way to purge the air is by filling the radiator and leave the radiator cap off with the car running until the antifreeze is warm and then just to off the radiator and over flow container. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to hit the bell for notifications when a new video is posted.
