DIY: On thermostat Change please

[manmanSS]

Hey guys,

I think I need to replace the thermostat on our 2000 accord SE 4cy, I have done it on miata's before, but on the accord I couldnt even locate the thermostat housing. Could you please help me and guide me to a good DIY.

Thanks again guys

Follow the top radiator hose to the bubble on the engine with the 2 scrws on each side and there it is

actually you need to follow the bottom rad hose to the motor
there should be 2-3 (10mm bolts)
2 bolts holding the thermostat housing and i think the 3rd bolt is a bracket

make sure you remember where the dimple is when removing it as you will need to install it back the same way

thanks guys, got 1 quick question is the thermostat and its housing vertical or facing sideways?

The flow of coolant is horizontal... some will spill out when you yank the thermostat out.
