First off like to thank everyone on the site for the great info, (kissin up bigtime, :cheers:), seriously though finished replacing my valve cover gasket from this site. Not so easy for us mechanically illiterate. Went off well!!
I will be flushing the radiator system some time this weekend. After reading many posts, sounds like one way is to remove the thermostat to help with a full engine block flush. This sounds to me a good idea, since the car has 215,000 miles figured I would replace it as well. I looked at the Honda manual on this site and for replacement it shows to remove the entire housing. I kind of wondered why, can't I just take off the thermostat housing oulet, remove the gasket then thermostat, and leave the housing still connected to the block? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
