Re: 97 Accord - Extreme Overheating
They are damn tough. My wife's '95 Accord had a crack develop in the top of the radiator, and being a vertical flow design, it was able to virtually empty the cooling system through it...on the highway...in high 90's temp...with A/C on...
She called me from a gas station...it took me almost half an hour to get there....even then it was too hot to open the cap and when I finally did, it vented steam hard for a good five minutes...I figured no way the motor wasn't cooked.
Filled it up, nursed it home, new radiator and oil change and it's fine again...278,000 miles on it now. Seems like it MAY have a slight wrist pin rattle since that event, but it could be my imagination too...
