HELP: coolant problem
I have a b18b1 ls swap in a 94 civic hatch, regular bolt ons (header and exhaust, blah blah STOCK for the most part) and i have to keep pouring water in the radiator every 2 days or so...it just eats right through it.
What is going on? is it my headgasket? or something else. Thermostat, maybe? Need this solved asap

Re: HELP: coolant problem
If your headgasket isn't bad, check for leaks at/by:
- the radiator/coolant hoses
- the base of the the radiator or the plug itself
- the water pump

Re: HELP: coolant problem
well first thing. water evaporates.
try adding coolant instead of water.
i use 50/50 mix, some people do other combinations.
but water gets hot and boils/evaporates.
