I don't understand why that is. In the days of yore they were attached to the head, on the upper radiator hose, so the temperature of the head would be regulated. Has something changed? Mike |

Both radiator hoses connect on the top of the engine. The thermostat is in the one closer to the firewall. |

Two things in particular: 1) It used to be that the thermostat opened to send hot water TO the rad FROM the head. That was when the thermostat was in the TOP hose. Now, the thermostat opens to admit cooled water FROM the rad back TO the head. This is when the thermostat is in the BOTTOM hose. 2) Many rad caps no longer hold pressure until the fluid begins to boil. You'll notice that your rad hoses may be squishy and not firm when the engine is warm. These two changes apparently mean greater cooling system efficiency, necessary with modern reduced capacities. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

How does the bottom-mounted thermostat sense the temperature? Does the pump feed a loop that brings coolant from the head to the thermostat? Mike |
