NOTICE:
Your surge tank cap is a 15 psi (105 Wa) pressure-type cap and
must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible
engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
If your surge tank pressure cap needs to be replaced an AC' cap is
recommended.
THERMOSTAT
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine
coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the
radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature.
If your thermostat needs to be replaced an AC@ thermostat is
recommended.
