This makes a lot more sense now...thanks man.

Nahhh the shop raped the previous owner...so did the greddy turbo.:bangbang: I did notice a very small coolant leak after I turn the engine off...a few drops of green fluid. In the mornings I looked into the radiator and saw it was about an inch from the top where I last filled it...I put more coolant in it while it was running and topped it off and drove the rest of the day. (25 miles) No problems with overheating ever since I bled the air out a second time and actually got the large air bubbles out of the bottom hose. Theres zero cold spots in the system now and i've put 70 miles in the past couple of days with no overheating issues. I'm starting to think i'm either burning some coolant or just have a very very slow leak and need to top it off before I take it out for the day/keep my eye on it closely. Should the radiator be topped off at all times or is an inch or so below the cap fine? And will the radiator pull in coolant as needed from the reserve jug or is that just for overflowing? Because mine is dam near full lol

Has an overflow tank and it's never low...if anything it may be gaining coolant lol. Drove another 35 miles today no problems at all. Maybe I just got lucky?

Very interesting....yeah I drove it for 40 miles and no problems yet. But most of those 40 were baby miles..I did get on it a few times tho WOT. My buddy said if it overheats again like you guys said block test could be a small crack in head/block/HG etc etc. He said it may stay small so every once in a while i'll have the keep bleeding it lol. Or perhaps the shop that did the HG work didn't tourqe them down properly...so many varibles lol

You guys are the shit! Alright cool yeah I started it up and squeezed the bottom and top hoses and saw quite a few bubbles coming out. Drove it around for 20 miles or so afterwards and it didn't heat up at all. I'll keep you guys posted...radiator will be in the near future. Thanks for everyone's input!

Ebay FTW i'm gunna buy one asap

I'm gunna try and bleed the air out one more time. Would a spike in the temp like I described be a head gasket problem? What Miller said makes really good sense to me. I would think if the HG was bad it would just heat up and stay like that instead of dropping and rising? If it overheats again after I bleed it out i'm gunna get a compression leakdown test over the weekend. I'll keep my eye out for a larger ccm radiator too. Maybe if I swap radiators it'll bring the overall temp down. Overheating sucks lol what a headache...could be worse I suppose...thanks again guys

Only because it was replaced last year and they charged $1700 to do it Thanks for the help guys...i'll start lookin around for the dual core radiators.

Yeah i'm thinkin more air bubbles...where's the bleeder valve located on these things? i tired looking but couldn't find it. I'll most likely go with the dual core del sol radiator...those aftermarket ones are $200 lol. Head was machined 10k ago I hope I don't have to do it again.

Drove it all day and no problems temps were below halfway. On my was home at night it heated up to a tad over halfway and then proceeded to a quarter way above....I heard the fans kick on and it slowly dropped to staying just above the halfway mark. Weird. Yeah i'd like to fix the problem myself because I don't trust band-aids for very long lol. I think it's the stock single core radiator. I was thinking of getting an aftermarket fan and/or radiator if the turbo setup is producing too much unwanted heat? I don't know much about turbos but maybe the stock cooling system isn't good enough?

Good idea anyone know where I can get one?

Thanks for all the input. It overheated today and I happened to be close to my buddy's shop who is a honda fan. We bleed the air from the system and the temps started going down! The fan was kicking in and all but the bottom coolant hose was not getting hot at all. It hasen't overheated since...his hypthosis was that there was a shit load of air in the system. The bottom hose now gets hot like it's suppose to and he said if it does it again were going to have to check the block. But after 10 miles on hard driving and excessive ideling it stayed at operating temp. Sooo hopefully there was just a lot of air...i'll keep you guys posted thanks again. Cap and t stat have been replaced recently as well

Bought a 98 civic 1.6 a few weeks ago. Noticed the other day the temp went rising almost to the redline and I shut the ignition off to let it cool. This has been happening at random...I can drive 50 miles and it'll stay at operating temp and next thing you know it starts rising after another 50 miles. Coolant is topped off and i'm not losing any fluid. I can't figure out what might be the culprit. With buying the car the previous owner gave me it's service records. At 111,000 miles the car had a new head gasket set, waterpump, radiator hoses, coolant flush, and the head machined. It currentally has 123,000 miles on it so I ruled out the waterpump and head gasket leaking. I also checked the radiator and all the internal fins are clean with no gunk or corrosion...coolant jug was clean it just had a few very very tiny specs of oil floating on top of the coolant prob from when they changed the waterpump 10k miles ago. Previous owner said it got hot and he replaced the thermostat as well. I'm thinking it's air in the system that needs bled out, a faulty wire to the fan or a faulty fan sensor. Haven't checked if the fan kicks on yet because I have a hard time getting it to act up when I want it too...most of the time it does not overheat. Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions? Thanks for your help much appreciated. Btw it has a greddy turbo, front mount intercooler, and running on 7psi low setting.

SOLD SOLD SOLD $375 FIRM! Only trades are for firearms...one of my projects needs to go because I don't have enough money to finish both of them. So I choose this one. Has full Pro Circuit exhaust, brand new moose sprockets, aftermarket handlebars, and a full engine gasket set...I have the Haynes manual for it as well. Black and white plastics reply or message for pictures if your serious. Does not run, needs either a new jug, or the current one bored/honed/plated whichever route you choose. Piston siezed up so I had to tear the top end down...it's already off the bike. Btw, I have a BRAND NEW Namura piston with rings, bearings, and wrist pins that is included. I spent a decent amount of money on this. Everything is included with the bike...I have a few parts for it as well. SOLD SOLD SOLD

you taking any trades?

Haha wow I never knew that about the Carbon 15...those shoot the NATO rounds don't they? I was actually thinking about doing the deposit but now hell no. Thank you Dark Formula for the info. I always wondered why they were so cheap especially since it comes with a sight too. There's a gun show next week at Westland i'll check it out around there...AR might be outta my budget untill the summer. Was looking at the sks vs ak47. Looks very identitcal except the ak has a pistol grip. I like the ak because of it's durability and i'm obsessed with the look. But then again I want a gun that is really accurate.
