Nice job on the car, dude. I've always had a weird fondness for EGs. The problems you had would have frustrated the poo poo out of me and I probably would have set the drat thing on fire or something. For what it's worth, I have a similar-era Accord and it never gets past about 1/3 on the temp scale, like STR said. Even sitting at a dead stop on 400 in July with a/c it stays pretty low, though it may have one of those dumbed-down not-really-a-gauge gauges. I don't ever hear the fans on after stopping the car, either. Worst case scenario, maybe you can do like some friends of mine have done and register your car in a county where they don't do emissions.

Definitely bleed it, last time I opened my Accord's cooling system up to change a leaking gasket it was fine for a few days and then suddenly started to get too hot alarmingly fast (I won't say it overheated because I always caught it in time and cranked the heater to cool it down.) Thankfully I always watch my gauges and didn't make a milkshake in the crankcase. Those little bleeder screws work amazingly well if you follow the instructions. Now you're making me think of all the original suspension bits on my car that need replacement. My suspension is about as firm as a 1970s Cadillac's at this point.

Senior Funkenstien posted:^^^Decide it was too much work? Nah, just a self-centered drunkpost about my own car which doesn't help you. Basically, your suspension post inspired me to do my lower ball joints which were mangled to gently caress and on the right side missing the boot completely. Unfortunately I forgot to un-bend the caliper backing plate I bent a little in the process, so on its inaugural 500ft test drive I heard the noise, pulled it pack into the garage and decided to drive a different car until I was less sore and felt like climbing under the fucker again.
