- Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:23 am #149237 Hi Everyone I'm new to this site and just love it!!! cause its a EG forum . I'm somewhat a noob if thats what you want to call me but anyways i just recently swapped in a b16a2 in my 95 civic dx coupe. Everytime i start it up and leave it on for a little bit to warm up the radiator smokes for some reason and i don't know what the problem is. It looks like it smokes from either the top near the hose of the radiator or from around the area. I NEED HELP!?!?!?!?!

Hopefully that takes care of your issues.
