GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A pressure cooling system is provided for on all

models by a pressure type radiator cap (fig. 1). The

pressure type radiator cap used is designed to hold a

pressure above atmospheric pressure in the cooling

system. Excessive pressure is relieved by a valve within

the cap that opens to radiator overflow.

The water pump is a ball bearing, centrifugal vane

impeller type. It requires no care other than to make

certain the air vent at the top of the housing and the drain

holes in the bottom do not become plugged with dirt or

grease. Removal and installation of the water pump is

covered in this section. For overhaul procedures of the

water pump refer to Section 6K of the Passenger Chassis

Overhaul Manual.
For radiator, refer to Section 13 of this manual For

radiator shroud, refer to Section 11 of this manual.

I—Pressure Radiator Cap

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

Coolant Level

The radiator coolant level should only be checked when

the engine is cool, particularly on cars equipped with air

conditioning. If the radiator cap is removed from a hot

cooling system, serious personal injury may result

The cooling system fluid level should be maintained

one inch below the bottom of the filler neck of the radia-

tor when cooling system is cold, or at the bottom of the

filler neck when the system is warm. It is very impor-

tant that the correct fluid level be maintained. The seal-

ing ability of the radiator cap is affected when the cooling

level is too high.

All passenger car cooling systems are pressurized

with a pressure cap which permits safe engine operation

at cooling temperatures of
up
to 247°F.

When the radiator cap is removed or loosened, the

system pressure drops to atmospheric, and the heat

which had caused water temperature to be higher than

212°F, will be dissipated by conversion of water to

steam. Inasmuch as the steam may form in the engine

water passages, it will blow coolant out of the radiator

upper hose and top tank, necessitating coolant replace-

ment Engine operating temperatures higher than the

normal boiling point of water are in no way objectionable

so long as the coolant level is satisfactory when the

engine is cooL

Upon repeated coolant loss, the pressure radiator cap

and seat should be checked for sealing ability. Also, the
cooling system should be checked for loose hose con-

nections, defective hoses, gasket leaks, etc.

Coolant System Checks

1.
Test for restriction in the radiator, by warming the

engine up and then turning the engine off and feeling

the radiator. The radiator should be hot at the top

and warm at the bottom, with an even temperature

rise from bottom to top. Cold spots in the radiator

indicate clogged sections.

2.
Water pump operation may be checked by running the

engine while squeezing the upper radiator hose. A

pressure surge should be felt Check for a plugged

vent-hole in pump.

NOTE:
A defective head gasket may allow ex-

haust gases to leak into the cooling system.

This is particularly damaging to the cooling

system as the gases combine with the water to

form acids which are particularly harmful to

the radiator and engine.

3.
To check for exhaust leaks into the cooling system,

drain the system until the water level stands just

above the top of the cylinder head, then disconnect

the upper radiator hose and remove the thermostat

and fan belt. Start the engine and quickly accelerate

several times. At the same time note any appreci-

able water rise or the appearance of bubbles which

CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL

ENGINE COOLING 6K-2

are indicative of exhaust gases leaking into the coolr

ing system.

Periodic Maintenance

Periodic service must be performed to the engine cool-

ing system to keep it in efficient operating condition.

These services should include a complete cleaning and

reverse flushing as well as a reconditioning service.

In the course of engine operation, rust and scale ac-

cumulate in the radiator and engine water jacket. The

accumulation of these deposits can be kept to a minimum

by the use of a good rust inhibitor but it should be

remembered that an inhibitor will not remove rust al-

ready present in the cooling system.

Two common causes of corrosion are: (1) air suction--

Air may be drawn into the system due to low liquid level

in the radiator, leaky water pump or loose hose con-

nections; (2) exhaust gas leakage—Exhaust gas may be

blown into the cooling system past the cylinder head

gasket or through cracks in the cylinder head and block.

Cleaning

A good cleaning solution should be used to loosen the

rust and scale before reverse flushing the cooling

system. There are a number of cleaning solutions avail-

able and the manufacturer's instructions with the particu-

lar cleaner being used should always be followed.

An excellent preparation to use for this purpose is GM

Cooling System Cleaner. The following directions for

cleaning the system applies only when this type cleaner

is-used.

1.
Drain the cooling system including the cylinder block

and then close both drain plugs.

2.
Remove thermostat and replace thermostat housing.

3.
Add the liquid portion (No. 1) of the cooling system

cleaner.

4.
Fill the cooling system with water to a level of about

3 inches below the top of the overflow pipe.

5. Cover the radiator and run the engine at moderate

speed until engine coolant temperature reaches 180

degrees.

6. Remove cover from radiator and continue to run the

engine for 20 minutes. Avoid boiling.

7. While the engine is still running, add the powder

portion (No. 2) of the cooling system cleaner and

continue to run the engine for 10 minutes.

8. At the end of this time, stop the engine, wait a few

minutes and then open the drain cocks or remove

pipe plugs. Also remove lower hose connection.

CAUTION: Be careful not to scald your hands.

NOTE:
Dirt and bugs may be cleaned out of

the radiator air passages by blowing out with air

pressure from the back of the core.

Reverse Flushing

Reverse flushing should always be accomplished after

the system is thoroughly cleaned as outlined above.

Flushing is. accomplished through the system in a direc-

tion opposite to the normal flow. This action causes the

water to get behind the corrosion deposits and force

them out.

Radiator

1.
Remove the upper and lower radiator hoses and re-

place the radiator cap,

2.
Attach a lead-away hose at the top of the radiator.
3.
Attach a new piece of hose to the radiator outlet

connection and insert the flushing gun in this hose.

4.
Connect the water hose of the flushing gun to a water

outlet and the air hose to an air line.

5. Turn on the water and when the radiator is full, turn

on the air in short blasts, allowing the radiator to

fill between blasts of air.

CAUTION: Apply air gradually as a clogged

radiator will stand only a limited pressure.

6. Continue this flushing until the water from the lead-

away hose runs clear.

Cylinder Block and Cylinder Head

1.
With the thermostat removed, attach a lead-away

hose to the water pump inlet and a length of new hose

to the water outlet connection at the top of the engine.

NOTE:
Disconnect the heater hose when re-

verse flushing engine.

2.
Insert the flushing gun in the new hose.

3.
Turn on the water and when the engine water jacket

is full, turn on the air in short blasts.

4.
Continue this flushing until the water from the lead-

away hose runs clear.

Hot Water Heater

1.
Remove water outlet hose from heater core pipe.

2.
Remove inlet hose from engine connection.

3.
Insert flushing gun and flush heater core. Care must

be taken when applying air pressure to prevent

damage to the core.

Fan Belt

Adjustment

1.
Loosen bolts at Delcotron slotted bracket.

2.
Pull Delcotron away from engine until desired ten-

sion reading is obtained with a strand tension gauge.

Refer to Section 6, "Engine Tune-Up".

3.
Tighten all Delcotron bolts securely.

Thermostat

The thermostat consists of a restriction valve actuated

by a thermostatic element. This is mounted in the hous-

ing at the cylinder head water outlet above the water

pump,
thermostats are designed to open and close at

predetermined temperatures and if not operating properly

should be removed and tested as follows.

Replacement

1.
Remove radiator to water outlet hose.

2.
Remove thermostat housing bolts and remove water

outlet and gasket from thermostat housing (fig. 2).

3.
Inspect thermostat valve to make sure it is in good

condition.

4.
Place thermostat in hot water 25° above the temper-

ature stamped on the thermostat valve.

5. Submerge the valve completely and agitate the water

thoroughly. Under this condition the valve should

open fully.

6. Remove the thermostat and place in water 10° below

temperature indicated on the valve.

7. With valve completely submerged and water agitated

thoroughly, the valve should close completely.

8. If thermostat checks satisfactorily, re-install, using

a new housing gasket.

9. Refill cooling system.
