Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1997 Honda Civic LX with a

replaced the following items. How to
replace the radiator, hoses, thermostat
four different times, timing belt,
waterpump, and timing belt tensioner. I

Do your brakes need servicing? If the motor has to continuously work harder it will run hotter. I'd check that the caliper sliders and pistons are moving freely and smoothly
