Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1997 Honda Civic LX with a
1.6 single overhead cam. I'm having a

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

anyone has any information please let

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
