INSPECTION

Check

If
the

symptoms
are
found

replace

THERMOSTAT

A
wax

pellet
type
thermostat
is

mounted
in
the
thermostat

housing
at

the

cylinder
head
water
outlet

The
function
of
the
thermostat
is

to
control
the

flow
of
coolant
facili

tating
fast

engine
warm

up
and

regu

lating
coolant

temperature
The
ther

mostat
is

designed
to

open
and
close
at

predetermined
temperatures
and
if

not

operating
properly
should
be

re

moved
and
tested
as
described

INSPECTION

A

sticking
thermostat
will

prevent

the

cooling
system
from

functioning

properly
If
the
thermostat
sticks
in

the

open
position
the

engine
warms

up
very
slowly
If
the
thermostat

sticks
in

the
closed

position
over

heating
will
result
Therefore
the
ther
mostat
should
be

inspected
to

make

sure
that
it
is
in

good
condition

RADIATOR

The
radiator
is

a
conventional
down

flow

type
having

top
and

bottom

tanks
to

distribute
the
coolant
flow

uniformly
through
the
vertical
tube
of

radiator
core

The

radiator
filler

cap
is

designed
to

maintain
a

pre
set

pressure
0
9

kg
cm2
13

psi
above

atmospheric

pressure

The
relief
valve

consisting
of

a

blow
off

valve
and
a

vacuum
valve

helps
to

prevent
the
coolant
from

boiling
by
giving

pressure
to
it
How

ever
when

the

pressure
is
reduced

below

atmospheric

pressure
the

vacu

um
valve
allows
air

to
re
enter

the

radiator

preventing
the
formation
of
a

vacuum
in
the

cooling
system
