well i guess it has, because it was fine, until a while ago.....

i guess it has to be the thermostat.......

i am now gona put genuine honda parts..................

i think my last mechanic skimped out on a few honda parts.....like my last oil change where i paid top dollar and did not recieve a honda filter.....that upset me......

well, now i am trying my luck with ksrd, and i hope that they will enhance my trust with mechanics...................hey, ken......u better be there at 9:00 in the morning ,cause i will be waiting outside for u .....................i hope u recieved the GENUINE HONDA PART>>>>>>
