Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2005HELP ! Need '86 Prelude cooling system info
I have an '86 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si, it has developed a coolant leak. Coming out of the rear of the water pump housing is a long steel tube that runs under the intake / injectors. I need to remove this tube and replace it but I can't figure out how to get it out. Does it just pull out, is it threaded, do I have to remove the intake to get it out. I'm a motorcycle mechanic and good skills, but this one's got me puzzled. HELP! HELP! HELP! Many Thanks!!!

HELP! HELP! Many Thanks!!! Matt Just pulls out. You just need to remove the thermostat housing, not the intake. The housing bolts face the firewall, as I recall. They're not the same bolts you remove to replace the thermostat. Space is tight, and you may find better access from underneath for the water pump side of things. It will be pretty rusty and gungy, so you'll need to do lots of cleanup and light scraping of the housings to make sure the new tube (and its O-rings) seals properly.

Very likely. I can't see it costing much, though. You'd be very wise to make absolutely sure it's coming from the tube before buying a new one.
