3. When finish honing
a cylinder bore to fit a piston,
the hone should be moved up and down at a
sufficient speed to obtain very fine uniform
surface finish marks in a cross-hatch pattern of
approximately
45" to 65" included angle. The
finish marks should be clean but not sharp, free
from imbedded particles and torn or folded
metal.
4. Permanently mark
the piston for the cylinder to
which it has been fitted and proceed to hone
cylinders and fit the remaining pistons.
NOTICE: Handle the pistons with care and do not
attempt to force them through the cylinder until
the cylinder has been honed to correct size as this
type piston can be distorted through careless
handling.
5. Thoroughly
clean the bores with hot water and
detergent. Scrub well with a stiff bristle brush and
rinse thoroughly with hot water. It is extremely
essential that a good cleaning operation be
performed. If any of the abrasive material is
allowed to remain in the cylinder bores, it will
rapidly wear the new rings and cylinder bores in
addition to the bearings lubricated by the
contaminated oil, the bores should be swabbed
and then wiped with a clean dry cloth. Cylinder
should not be cleaned with kerosene or gasoline.
Clean the remainder of the cylinder block to
remove the excess material spread during the
honing operation.
Piston Selection
1. Check USED piston to cylinder bore clearance as
follows:
a. Measure
the "Cylinder Bore Diameter"
with a telescope gage
"2-1/2" (64mm) from
top of cylinder bore").
b. Measure
the
"Piston Diameter" (at skirt
across center line of piston pin).
c. Subtract
piston diameter from cylinder bore
diameter to determine "Piston to Bore
Clearance".
d. Determine if piston to bore clearance is in
the acceptable range.
2. If
used piston is not acceptable, check Piston Size
Chart and determine if a new piston can be
selected to fit cylinder bore within the acceptable
range.
3. If
cylinder bore must be reconditioned, measure
new piston diameter (across center line of piston
pin) then hone cylinder bore to correct clearance
(preferable range).
4. Mark the piston to identify the cylinder for which
it was fitted.
OIL FILTER BYPASS VALVE
Inspection and Replacement
With the oil filter removed, check the spring and
fibre valve for operation. Inspect for a cracked or
broken valve. If replacement is necessary, the oil filter
adapter and bypass valve assembly must be replaced as an
assembly. Clean valve chamber in cylinder block
thoroughly. Torque retaining screws to specifications.

GENERAL DESCRIPnIBN
The cooling system maintains engine temperature
5" below the filler neck which reads, "Important - for
at an efficient level during all engine operating repair see Harrison Service Manual". Service
conditions. When the engine is cold the system cools procedures for the aluminum plastic radiator are
slowly, or not at all, to allow the engine to warm up described in that manual and in this section.
quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator and
Radiator Cap
recovery sub-system, cooling fan, thermostat and
housing, water pump, and drive belts.
Operation of the cooling system requires proper
functioning of all components. Coolant is drawn from
the radiator by the water pump and circulated through
water jackets in the engine block, intake manifold, and
cylinder
head(s), and then directed back to the radiator
where it's cooled.
This system directs some coolant through hoses
to the heater core, to provide for heating and
defrosting. A recovery bottle is connected to the
radiator to recover coolant displaced by expansion
from high temperatures and maintain correct coolant
level. As the coolant cools and contracts it is drawn
back into the radiator by vacuum.
RADIATOR
A cross-flow radiator is used on all models. Tanks
in this type radiator are located to the right and left of
the core, instead of above and below.
Radiators used with automatic transmissions
have oil coolers with inlet and outlet fittings for
transmission fluid circulation. Cars with manual
transmissions use radiators without oil coolers.
Vehicles equipped with air conditioning use a radiator
with extra cooling capability.
An aluminum-plastic radiator, used on some
models, can be identified by a note on the outlet tank A pressure-vent
cap is used on the cross-flow
radiator to allow a buildup of
103 kPa (15 psi) in the
cooling system. This pressure raises the boiling point
of coolant to approximately 125°C (262°F) at sea level.
Do not remove radiator cap to check engine
coolant level; check coolant visually at the
see-through coolant reservoir. Coolant should
be added only
to the reservoir.
CAUTION: As long as there
is
pressure in the cooling system, the
temperature can be considerably
higher than the boiling temperature
of
the solution in the radiator without
causing the solution to boil. Removal
of the radiator cap while engine is hot
and pressure is high will cause
the
solution to boil instantaneously and
possibly with explosive
force, spewing
the solution over engine, fenders and
person removing cap. If the solution
contains flammable antifreeze, such
as alcohol (not recommended for use
at any time), there is also the
possibility
of causing a serious fire.
The pressure-type radiator filler cap contains a
blow off or pressure valve and a vacuum or
atmospheric valve (Figure
1). The pressure valve is
held against its seat by a spring of pre-determined

BB-2 ENGINE COOLING
strength, which protects the radiator by relieving
pressure if it exceeds design limits. The vacuum valve
is held against its seat by a light spring, which permits
opening of the valve to relieve vacuum created in the
system when it cools off and which otherwise might
cause the radiator to collapse.
VACUUM RELIEF PRESSURE RELIEF
Fig. 1 Pressure-Type Radiator Cap
The radiator cap is designed to discourage
inadvertent removal. The finger grips have been
removed so the cap is round in shape. It also must be
pushed downward before it can be removed. A rubber
asbestos gasket is added to the diaphragm spring at the
top of the cap. Embossed on the cap is a caution against
its being opened and arrows indicating the proper
closed position.
Every vehicle has a radiator cap. Also,
J, N and
P Series vehicles with 2.5L engines have a thermostat
housing cap. For these engines, add coolant through
the thermostat housing (with the thermostat and cap
removed).
Recovery Bottle
A "see-through" plastic reservoir, similar to the
familiar windshield washer jar, is connected to the
radiator by a hose. As the car is driven, the coolant is
heated and expands. The portion of the fluid displaced
by this expansion flows from the radiator into the
recovery bottle. When the engine is stopped and the
coolant cools and contracts, the displaced coolant is
drawn back into the radiator by vacuum. Thus, the
radiator is kept filled with coolant to the desired level
at all times, resulting in increased cooling efficiency.
Coolant level should be between "ADD" and
"FULL"
marks on recovery bottle. These marks are
approximately two quarts apart so that a
50/50
mixture can be added (one quart of ethylene glycol
anti-freeze and one quart of water).
FAN
Electric Fan
Fans range in sizes from 290mm (11.6 in) to
422mm (16.9 in) with 4 to 7 blades to aid air flow
through the
radiator/condenser. The fan is driven by
an electric motor which is attached to the radiator
support.
The fan motor is activated by a coolant
temperature switch. If the vehicle is equipped with
Fig. 2 Coolant Recovery Bottle
A/C, a second switch can activate the circuit,
depending upon
A/C compressor head pressure to the
condenser.
CAUTION: If a fan blade is bent or
damaged in any way, no attempt
should be made to repair and reuse the
damaged part.
A bent or damaged fan
assembly should always be replaced
with a new fan assembly. It is
essential that fan assemblies remain
in proper balance and proper balance
cannot be assured once a fan
assembly has been bent or damaged.
A fan assembly that is not in proper
balance could fail and fly apart during
subsequent use, creating an
extremely dangerous condition.
The majority of non-A/C cars use a fan with four
blades which are unevenly spaced and have curled tips
to provide minimum noise.
A fan shroud is used to
prevent recirculation of air around the fan on most
cars.
Thermostatically Controlled Fluid Clutch Fan
A thermostatically controlled fluid clutch fan is
used on some air conditioned vehicles. It operates only
when additional air flow is required to reduce radiator
coolant temperatures. This clutch is of a simple,
functional design. It is made of lightweight metal filled
with silicone oil and is hermetically sealed. The finned
(rear) housing contains a hub assembly (secured to the
housing bearing) which attaches to the engine water
pump. Four bosses with tapped holes in the rear face
provide for attachment of the engine fan. The front
surface of the housing has six deep circular grooves
which index with six matching bosses on the rear face
of a floating clutch. A separator plate and front cover,
with thermostatic coil control, complete the clutch
assembly.
During periods of operation when radiator
discharge air temperature is low, below approximately
66°C (150°F), the clutch limits the fan speed to
800- 1400 rpm. In this position, the clutch is disengaged

ENGINE COOLING 88.3
since a small oil pump driven by the separator plate
forces the silicone oil into a reservoir between the
separator plate and the front cover assembly. In this
position, the passage from this cavity to the clutch area
is closed by a slide valve. As operating conditions
produce a high radiator air temperature discharge,
above approximately 66°C
(150"F), the temperature
sensitive bi-metal coil tightens to move the slide valve
(attached to the coil) which opens a port in the
separator plate. This allows a flow of silicone oil into
the clutch chamber to engage the clutch, providing a
maximum fan speed of approximately 2200 rpm. The
clutch coil is calibrated so that, with a road load at an
ambient temperature of approximately 32°C
(90T), the
clutch is just at a point of shift between high and low
fan speed. No attempt should be made to disturb the
calibration of the engine clutch fan assembly as each
assembly is individually calibrated at the time of
manufacture. Under certain temperature conditions
there is a lateral movement at the fan tip which should
not be considered as a hub or bearing failure. This
condition is a design feature of the clutch assembly
which allows up to approximately
1/4" lateral
movement measured at the fan tip.
Testing a clutch fan by holding the small hub
with one hand and rotating the aluminum housing in
a
clockwise/counter-clockwise motion will cause the
clutch to freewheel, which is a normal condition when
operated in this manner. This should not be considered
a test by which replacement is determined.
Temperature Switch
This switch activates a warning lamp in the
instrument cluster if the engine overheats. With
optional instrumentation, a temperature gage replaces
the warning lamp and the temperature switch is
replaced with a transducer. See Section
8A for
Temperature Switch location and diagnosis.
Coolant Temperature Fan Switch
This switch regulates voltage to the coolant fan
relay, which operates the fan whenever the engine
coolant temperature exceeds 230"
F (110" C). For
location and diagnosis see Section 8A for Coolant
Temperature Fan Switch.
Thermostat
A pellet-type thermostat is used in the coolant
outlet passage to control the flow of engine coolant, to
provide fast engine warm-up and to regulate coolant
temperatures.
A wax pellet element in the thermostat
expands when heated and contracts when cooled. The
pellet element is connected through a piston to a valve.
When the pellet element is heated, pressure is exerted
against a rubber diaphragm which forces the valve to
open. As the pellet element is cooled, the contraction
allows a spring to close the valve. Thus, the valve
remains closed while the coolant is cold, preventing
circulation of coolant through the radiator. At this
point, coolant is allowed to circulate only throughout
the engine to warm it quickly and evenly.
As the engine warms, the pellet element expands
and the thermostat valve opens, permitting coolant to flow
through the radiator, where heat is dissipated
through the radiator walls. This opening and closing of
the thermostat permits enough coolant to enter the
radiator to keep the engine within operating limits.
Fig. 3 Pellet Type Thermostat
Coolant Recovery System
A recovery-type cooling system is standard on all
cars and is designed to maintain the engine at proper
operating temperatures. The recovery tank collects
coolant that expands with rising temperature and
would otherwise overflow from the system. When the
system temperature drops, the coolant is drawn from
the recovery tank back into the radiator by the suction
created by coolant contraction. The cooling system has
been filled at the factory with a high-quality, inhibited,
year-around coolant that meets the standards of
General Motors Specification 1825-M. This coolant
solution provides freezing protection to at least -37°C
(-34°F). It has been formulated to be used for two full
calendar years or
30,OO miles, whichever first occurs,
of normal operation without replacement, provided the
proper concentration of coolant is maintained.
DIAGNOSIS
The following diagnostic information covers
common problems and possible causes. When the
proper diagnosis is made the problem should be
corrected by part replacement, adjustment, or repair as
required. Refer to the appropriate section of the service
manual for these procedures.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Cooling System Care
The radiator cap should not be removed to check
coolant level. Check the coolant level visually in the
"see-through" coolant recovery tank every time hood
is up. Level should be near "ADD" mark when the
system is cold. At normal operating temperature the
coolant level should increase to the "FULL" mark on
the recovery tank. Coolant should be added only to the
reservoir to raise level to the "FULL" mark. Use a
50/50 mixture of high-quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze and water for coolant additions.

On-Vehicle Pressure Testing
You can pressure-test the aluminum-plastic
radiator with a common pump and gage, such as
BT-7002-3 or J-24460-01 with J-23699 (Figure 10).
With the system at a cool temperature, remove the
radiator cap, connect the gage, and apply normal
system operating pressure. Do not exceed 20 psi (138
kPa). Watch the gage needle for an indication of a leak,
and examine the radiator and other cooling system
parts for signs of escaping coolant.
Repair all hose and hose connections as required.
Also check radiator cap to ensure that it will maintain
the correct pressure.
If the radiator is found to be leaking during the
pressure test, mark the leak area so that it is easily
found once the radiator has been removed from the
vehicle.
