    For super mileage fans - spray your brake lines and fittings

    This is excellent advice. I got one on my rear brake cylinder that is rusted (I think it will last for another winter) on my driver-side rear tire wheel cylinder. I know just trying to disconnect it will break it. I already did the other side because I had to repair a brake line that went to my...

    Using a impact driver to install spark plugs

    When I did my spark plugs. I had them too loose. I followed the instructions to hand tighten them and do a 2/3rd turn, and that just wasn't tight enough. The car still ran, but they got loose. It's better just to use a digital torque ratchet and go over the spec a little. I don't think this is a...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    Yeah, never mind. It's working fine. I guess, the part is going to work. I did miss a ground strap under the thermostat, I totally forget about it, so it took me a while to figure out why it didn't start. So thanks guys. It didn't have much air in it. I don't see any leaks so far. I think I got...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    O Alright, I got the Honda coolant from the honda parts store. I'm really hoping that slight variation in that passageway doesn't matter. And it will work. The guy that I bought it from claims it will work. I'll find out tomorrow. I wish he would have sent me a 1991-1993 honda accord one just...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    Javier, I got some time, the weather is good. I'm sure I can get it done (still kind of in hurry). Yes, I have heard about that from another video on youtube. A guy used a massive amount of stop leak (blocked his passage ways) than rather look for the leak which was the water pump (I wouldn't...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    I got 6.5 quarts of coolant out. I believe there is 1 quart left in the block. The heater hose at the very bottom of the nipple did have a hole in it (hidden by the clamp). And the water pipe did have a pinhole as well. I fixed it by removing the thermostat housing then disconnecting the pipe...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    Nothing worked. I tried a patch repair. Now it's leaking like crazy. There is no way I could get it without draining that coolant from the engine block anyways. I failed. I thought I could seal it with the RTV and put a new hose around it clamped. But I was unprepared. clamp and hose were too...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    I was thinking about using JB weld steel stick and pushing that clamp upwards than putting it back down. I know it does not work well on rust. But I'm thinking it could buy me some time. JB weld is advertised for radiators. But not for this, I wonder if it could work temporarily. I can't remove...

    Any advice to slow this leak down? I need to buy some time until I fix this.

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    Yes, I was wrong. Because I did some bad research on the internet. And it wasn't coming out of any blockholes. It was coming from a connecting pipe, and not a hose. And it's a very hard spot to reach. The rubber hose is attached to this connecting pipe outlet. It's the outlet that's rusted, with...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    I'm confused about weep holes. Isn't it supposed to be on the water pump itself? How and why does it get to the block of the engine? Isn't it supposed to leak from the timing belt cover? I still have the old water pump and I was looking at it. I was assuming there something inside of it like...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    Yes, there are few drips, and I saw the color was yellow, it's not crusty. And if you reference the picture, those are the two holes it's coming from. I wonder if it has to do with the cold weather. I have never seen that before, even when I did the timing belt job it was cold out. I could take...

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    Yeah, I wish they sold that in local stores. But the thing is I have been using the same coolant since I owned the car. It never failed the old pump. I just changed the pump out last year when I did the timing belt job. It didn't look dirty coming out.

    1993 honda accord, I change coolant. Now I got a leak. But it's a New WP

    This happened on a 1993 honda accord LX, automatic transmission, it does have a lot of miles on it. 235,600 Today, I went to do a coolant change. I drained 1 gallon. Then I refilled with 1 gallon. I attached a funnel. I poured a little bit in. I ran the car for about 30 mins. No or little air...
