    05 RSX Type S Rotrex Project

    Blew the heater core hose off. Problem fixed on that end. Getting good flow to radiator so I ran till all bubbles came out. Does this setup run hot when driving normally or does it run at a normal temp?

    That's what I want to know. It might run hot when put to the test.

    I shouldn't judge. It happens, I guess. I was just really upset. Going to take it in and get it checked out and run it on dyno to see if anything has changed.

    Heater core hose. The clamp wasn't on right.

    I put it back on and filled radiator and used funnel to try n get the bubbles out.
    Which direction does the coolant flow? Is it out from head and through radiator to block or other direction?

    I believe is out of the head and through the block from the bottom house. In that direction. Don't quote me on it but that makes sense to me.

    And Lmao I watch Tom&Jerry every day with my son before bed.

    No ticket. :-) my chances are getting skinny.

    I just don't understand. Could the water pump spin the wrong direction and as a result cause overheating keeping thermo closed? I mean yesterday I took friend in car and drove three miles in traffic to highway, needle was perfect. Got on it, it was hot and muggy as hell. No problems. Got on highway gave it hell. Drove at least five miles. Was perfect. Got off and in moving traffic not touching throttle it all of a sudden needle gets just to point where light goes on. I pull over right away. Needle stayed just a tiny bit over half. I stop and leave ignition on so fans are pulling the air nicely with open hood. Then needle went up, not down to 3/4 while car wasn't running. Then, all of a sudden it comes down really nice again and I started up and drove another three miles perfectly normal.
    Had to put 6 - 10 ounces to fill back up. This morning another 6-10 ounces later. I can't believe that the air pocket would be that big. This is what I have been dealing with that just doesn't make any sense to me.
