should there always be pressure taking off the cap, even if the car is cold?

Just changed the thermostat on my 95 Civic. There is no need to loosen more than just the two 10mm bolts holding the thermostat house in place. (After draining).

Very important!! The most important thing is bleeding the system after refill of coolant!!!! There is a bleeding bolt where the top radiatorhose is mounted on the engine (top/front side). Start engine, and bleed/refill until coolant comes up the top hole of the "bolt". Otherwise the whole system has no circ, and engine will overheat!

@Integraio i never bleed my system but you are correct ! im just a lazy bastard xD

yo drew i have an 04 that is losing heat..the first 5-10 mins of driving i have heat then ill lose it for 5 mins then itll come back.my thermostat was changed by a shop but im about to change it now again just for my own sake.what do u think?

[DrewsGarage]

@gees97 Yeah actually thats a good idea. Make sure you flush your radiator good and swap that thermostat hopefully that will fix you up !

I have a 93 Civic and my car over heats pretty quickly. When I pop the hood I can see light white smoke/steem? coming out by the thing above the engine. It is also leaking somewhere but I think its from under the thing where the.smoke is. Does anyone know what can be wrong or broken?

so many stuff that has to be removed to change a damn thermostat, in my v6 cavalier i dont have to remove any thing 10 min after i start the job the car is ready to go

@itsCONTROVERSY Yes, there should always be pressure in your coolant system, even if the car is cold from having sat over night.

@itsCONTROVERSY there is only pressure when its warm, theres no pressure when its cold
