CHECK AND REPLACEMENT OF
ENGINE COOLANT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVE TANKThe coolant level should be above the ºCOLD LEVELº at nor-
mal temperature (20 5C (68 5F)).
If low, check for leaks and add coolant up to the ºCOLD LEV-
ELº.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scales
around the radiator cap or reservoir tank filler hole, and the
coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace
the coolant.
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT (a) Remove the radiator cap from the reservoir tank.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove the cap while the engine and radiator are still hot,
as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Remove the filler plug from the water inlet housing.
(c) Loosen the three drain plugs on the radiator and
cylinder block, drain the coolant from the radiator and
engine.
(d) Clean the coolant passages.
(e) Close the three drain plugs.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
18 NVm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)

(f) Slowly add coolant to water inlet housing until it is full.w Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant,
mixed according to the manufacturer's directions.
w Using coolant which includes more than 50%
ethylene±glycol (but not more 70%) than is
recommended.
NOTICE:
w Do not use alcohol type coolant.
w The coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.
Capacity (w/ Heater): 10.8 liters (11.4 US qts, 9.5 lmp. qts)
(g) Reinstall a new gasket and filler plug to the water inlethousing.
Torque: 44 N Vm (450 kgf Vcm, 33 ft Vlbf)
(h) Slowly add coolant to reservoir tank until it is full.
(i) Reinstall the radiator cap.
(j) Bleed the cooling system.
w Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.
w Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 rpm, and warm
up the engine.
(k) Check for leaks.
(l) Recheck the coolant level and refill as necessary.

THERMOSTAT
HINT: Removal of the thermostat would have an adverse ef-
fect, causing a lowering of cooling efficiency. Do not remove
the thermostat, even if the tends to overheat.
COMPONENTS FOR REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION
REMOVAL OF THERMOSTAT
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT (See page CO±6)
2. REMOVE THERMOSTAT (a) Remove the two nuts holding the water inlet to the inlethousing, and disconnect the water inlet from the inlet
housing.
(b) Remove the thermostat.
(c) Remove the gasket from the thermostat.

INSPECTION OF THERMOSTAT
INSPECT THERMOSTATHINT: The thermostat is numbered with the valve opening
temperature.
(a) Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat thewater.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature: 80±84 5C (176±183 5F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace
the thermostat.
(c) Check the valve lift.
Valve lift:
10 mm (0.39 in.) or more at 95 5C (203 5F)
If the valve lift is less than specification, replace the thermo-
stat.
(d) Check that the valve spring is tight when the thermostat
is fully closed.
If necessary, replace the thermostat.
INSTALLATION OF THERMOSTAT
(See Components on page CO±12)
1. PLACE THERMOSTAT IN WATER INLET HOUSING (a) Install a new gasket to the thermostat.
(b) Insert the thermostat into the water inlet housing withthe jiggle valve facing straight upward.
HINT: The jiggle valve may be set within 30 5 of either side of
the prescribed position.
2. INSTALL WATER INLET Install the water inlet with the two nuts.
Torque: 18 N Vm (185 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)
3. FILL WITH ENGINE COOLANT (See page CO±7)
4. START ENGINE AND CHECK FOR LEAKS

RADIATOR
CLEANING OF RADIATOR
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful
not to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner
nozzle pressure is 2,942±3,432 kPa (30±35 kgf/cm2,
427±498 psi), keep a distance at least 40±50 cm
(15.75±19.69 in.) between the radiator core and cleaner
nozzle.
INSPECTION OF RADIATOR
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP FROM RESERVOIR TANK
2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAPUsing a radiator cap tester, pump the tester and measure the
relief valve opening pressure.
Standard opening pressure:
74±103 kPa
(0.75±1.05 kgf/cm, 10.7±14.9 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm, 8.5 psi)
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the ra-
diator cap.
3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS (a) Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator captester to the reservoir tank.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf/cm2, 17.1 psi), check that pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check for leaks as the hoses, radiator
or water pump. If no external leaks are found, check the heat-
er core, cylinder block and head.
4. REINSTALL RADIATOR CAP

REMOVAL OF RADIATOR
(See Components on page CO±15)
1. REMOVE BATTERY CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 seconds or
longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the
ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) terminal cable is dis-
connected from the battery.
2. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVERS
3. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT (See page CO±6)
4. REMOVE RADIATOR RESERVOIR TANK (a) Disconnect the coolant level sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the following hoses:(1) Reservoir hose from water inlet housing
(2) Reservoir hose from radiator
(c) Remove the two bolts and reservoir tank bracket.
(d) Disconnect the reservoir tank from the reservoir tank bracket, and remove the reservoir tank.
5. DISCONNECT HOSES Disconnect the following hoses:(1) Upper radiator hose from radiator
(2) Lower radiator hose from radiator
(3) Two oil cooler hoses (for A/T) from radiator. Plug hose end.
