2000 Accord - Coolant Flush

SadaYama 19 March 2005 05:08:39
 2000Accord-EX-56K-5S­pd: I am planning to do the Coolant Flush, as
described in the owner's manual. I have 2 questions:

Where can I buy the torque wrench, which sets pressure for Drain Plug,
and the Engine Block Nut. Can someone suggest me what to buy and where,
please.

I am still looking hard, but could not locate the Engine Block Nut yet.

Thanks
Shanks

Don't put any tap water (a.k.a. Hondacide) in your cooling system,
except maybe for flushing purposes.

 Is this a 4 cyl or 6? The bolt is hopeless on the 4, forget about it.

My 2000 TL (3.2 V6) actually has a block drain that looks more like a
bleeder and is actually usable. Its not torqued off the map and is
relatively easy to get to (though only from underneath on the passenger
side (assuming US car)). If you have the 6, do a little more homework and
see if it has the usable drain. If you have it, it is definitely easier
than removing hoses, etc.

 I wouldn't bother with the block drain, but make sure you use Honda
anti-freeze so it mixes properly with the original stuff remaining in the
block. Also don't forget to follow the procedure to make sure the valve to
the heater core is open when you drain so the fluid in there also drains.

in any event, you need to use the bleeder on top when you refill, or it will
trap an air bubble at that spot and fry whatever switch or sensor happens to
be nearby.
