  1. Hello my honda civic 96 makes the radiator gets dirty quickly, I've
    already clean it 4 times, the first one was 8 months after i bought it
    second one was 6 months after the first
    the third one was 2 months after second
    the fourth one was 2 weeks after the third

    and the mechanic guy tells me that I must change the motor because the
    coolant is destroying motor in the inside due to that it is stronger
    from the one it used originally, all of this issue is acording to the
    Motor BLOCK is from aluminiun (BLOCK: the vehicule part where it has
    the pistons)

    I don' t really know what to do best?

    Please advice me to solve this problem

    Nota: In the Dominican Republic there are garages where you can clean
    your radiator

    Hola tengo un honda Civic 96 que he tenido limpiarle el radiador
    muchas veces porque se ensucia de manera rapida y ya lo he limpiado 4
    veces
    la primera fue 8 meses despues de compralo
    la segunda ves fue 6 meses despues de la primera
    la tercera ves fue 2 meses despues de la segunda
    y la cuarta ves fue 2 semanas despues de la tercera

    Y mi mecanico me dice que que debo de cambiarle el motor porque el
    Coolant esta destruyendo el motor por dentro ya que tenia era uno mas
    fuerte que el que usa originalmente, todo esto se debe a que el BLOCK
    del motor es de aluminio.(BLOCK: parte del motor donde estan los
    pistones)

    No se realmente como que es lo mejor que puedo hacer?

    you need to use the correct coolant with corrosion inhibitors. plain
    water is bad. use a high quality [low silicate] "antifreeze" and it
    will last for years with no further problems.

    possible, but not likely. you may need to change the coolant pump
    though. you can buy used motors cheap enough if anything happens.
    it's an aluminum block - there is no steel in the system except the
    coolant pump and the coolant transfer pipe.
