hey, i have a 1990 honda civic, dx model, and i seem to be having a problem
with my radiator, or maybe hosts, water pump even? i replace the radiator
two months ago, and i haven't leaked coolant until just recently. i'm
picking up the hanes manual tomorrow, so i can check it out a bit better.
does anyone know some common problems that vehicle has for hoses becomming
leaky after certain wear? i have 250 000 kilomoters on the stock vehicle.

also, i am looking for a different engine to put in the civic.. maybe
something from an integra, or prelude? something with more hosepower
behind it. has anyone done this before, and can give me some ideas? or,
could you please point me in the right direction to somewhere with useful
information on swapping engines.
thank you very much!
