All cooling hoses replacement.

[Bad_dude]

Hey guys,
How's it going? I want to replace all of the cooling hose for my 90 LX. Is there like a kit with all of the hoses included? If yes then how much. I found this from Rock Auto, I wonder if this kit includes all the hoses for the cooling system? I wonder if all the curves and shapes for the hoses are as OEM specs?

My coolant level is good, it doesn't seem like I am losing any. But there's a slight green crust line by the thermostat housing, do you guys think the gasket is failing there? Do I need to replace the housing? The thermostat was replaced in 2008 along with the upper and lower hose. I don't drive the car that much, would the gasket fail that fast or is it some thing else?
Once in a while when I use the heater, I think I smell coolant when the blower is going. But then it goes away. I wonder if it comes from the old beat up car next to mine. I checked all of the hoses and they seem to be soft and no leak detected.

I might replace the thermostat gasket and the thermostat while I am at it. What do you guys think of those Failsafe thermostat? Any pros or cons? Or not to use it at all? I might just go with a Gates brand.

Thanks.

That picture just looks to be a generic picture. With only 1 item. Unfortunatly there isn't a kit. You have to piece it out on www.majestichonda.com.

What are the sizes of these water hose? It seem really expensive after shipping and handling charge. I wonder if I could use the ones from Autozone.
Thanks.

Sometimes you can go to your local dealership and get them to price match Majestic, since they are a Honda dealership as well. And sometimes you can even get them to match the prices before shipping.

That said, I would gather all of the parts in your shipping cart, then call the dealership. Give them all of the part numbers and see what the total is. The last time I needed parts, my local dealership was cheaper than Majestic, amazingly enough.

Would you know the size for these hoses?
Thanks.

The only ones I know are the ones that go to/from the heater valve, and loop from the IM to the thermo housing. They are 5/8". But I wouldn't use bulk hose for the hose that loops off the IM, the bulk hose will eventually collapse/kink.

The hose that I need to replace is with part number 19515-PT2-010, description: Hose B, Breather Heater. I know this hose has coolant in it. If losing the little coolant from here when I replace the hose will cause any idle issue? Should I even bleed the system with this little amount of coolant? I recently replaced the coolant and don't really want to drain the system to replace this tiny little hose?
Thanks.

Do a quick bleed, top off...its not the end of the world.

It's the same. Follow the links on majestichonda.com to "order parts online", and you will wind up at hondaautomotiveparts.com.

Do you mean the radiator cap off and run it until the fan comes on then close the cap back up?
Thanks.

Probably real quick with the radiator cap off...just as the fluid starts to come up. THen close it. Then open the bleeder valve after the fan cycled.
