Radiators

ACs

5. Carefully raise the radiators up



6. This is how it looks like..Was using an SV4s radiators on SM4..it matched,but without any freeplay on the sides since it was longer and it would cause the radiator to crack..Differences between SMs & SVs

7. Unhook everything on the radiator and mount it up on the new ones..

and make sure the boots

are at its place..

if not,vibration of the car will crack the bottom part of the radiator



8. Carefully put the radiator back in..mount the hoses & put the connectors back on



9. When installing a new radiator,Honda requires the water cooling system to be purged to clear the air inside the system.To do this, simply unscrew the nipple on the radiator..

Then fill the radiator up

When theres water coming out steadily at the nipple,screw it back..It indicates that the system is now 100% air-free..

kalau tak buat,time bawak kereta,temperature akan naik bila lepas minyak (dan time tunggu kat traffic lights) & akan turun bila tekan minyak..



10. Let the car idles until the fan comes up..If the water & the temperature maintains,then its good..If the water goes low,theres a leak somewhere..If the temp goes up,do the purging process again..
