REASSEMBLY
1. A/T:
INSTALL OIL COOLER TO LOWER TANK
(a) Clean the O-ring contact surface of the lower tank and oil
cooler.
(b) Install new O-rings (1) to the oil cooler (2).
(c) Install the oil cooler (2) to the lower tank (3).
(d) Install the plate washers (4), and nuts (5).
Torque: 8.3 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)
(e) Install the inlet pipes (6).
Torque: 15 N´m (150 kgf´cm, 11 ft´lbf)
HINT:
Face the inlet pipes in the same direction they were before dis-
assembly.
2. INSPECT LOCK PLATE
Inspect the lock plate for damage.
HINT:
If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reas-
sembly of the tank will be impossible.
Therefore, first correct any deformation with pliers or simi-
lar object. Water leakage will result if the bottom of the
lock plate groove is damaged or dented. Therefore, repair
or replace if necessary.
NOTICE:
The radiator can only be recaulked 2 times.
After the 2nd time, the radiator core must be replaced.
3. INSTALL NEW O-RINGS AND TANKS
(a) After checking that there are no foreign objects in the lock
plate groove, install the new O-ring without twisting it.
HINT:
When cleaning the lock plate groove, lightly rub it with sand pa-
per without scratching it.
(b) Install the tank without damaging the O-ring.
(c) Tap the lock plate with a soft-faced hammer so that there
is no gap between it and the tank.

4. ASSEMBLE SST
SST 09230-01010, 09231-14010
(a) Install the punch assembly to the overhaul handle, insert-
ing it in the hole in part ºAº as shown in the illustration.
(b) While gripping the handle, adjust the stopper bolt so that
dimension ºBº shown in the diagram.
Dimension ºBº:
8.4 mm (0.34 in)
5. CAULK LOCK PLATE
(a) Lightly press SST against the lock plate in the order
shown in the illustration. After repeating this a few times,
fully caulk the lock plate by squeezing the handle until
stopped by the stopper plate.
SST 09230-01010
HINT:
Do not stake the areas protruding around the pipes,
brackets or tank ribs.
The points shown in the rib sides and oil cooler near here
cannot be staked with SST. Use a plier or similar object
and be careful not to damage the core plates.

(b) Check the lock plate height (H) after completing the caulk-
ing.
Plate height:
7.40 - 7.80 mm (0.2959 - 0.3119 in)
If not within the specified height, adjust the stopper bolt of the
handle again and caulk again.
6. INSPECT FOR WATER LEAKS
(a) Tighten the drain plug.
(b) Plug the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator with SST.
SST 09230-01010
(c) Using a radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the radiator.
Test pressure:
177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm
2, 26 psi)
(d) Inspect for water leaks.
HINT:
On radiators with resin tanks, there is a clearance between the
tank and lock plate where a minute amount of air will remain,
giving the appearance of an air leak when the radiator is sub-
merged in water. Therefore, before doing the water leak test,
move the radiator around in the water until all air bubbles disap-
pear.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH LOW
TEMPERATURE (Below 91°C (196°F))
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Check that the cooling fan stops.
If not, check the cooling fan relay and ECT switch, and check
for a separated connector or severed wire between the No.1 ra-
diator fan relay and ECT switch.
(c) Disconnect the ECT switch connector.
(d) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, check the No.1 radiator relay, No.2 radiator fan relay,
cooling fan, fuses, and check for short circuit between the No.1
radiator fan relay and ECT switch.
(e) Reconnect the ECT switch connector.
2. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURE (Above 100°C (212°F))
(a) Start the engine, and raise coolant temperature to above
100°C (212°F).
(b) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, replace the ECT switch.
3. INSPECT COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connec-
tor.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 2.5 - 4.5 A
(d) Reconnect the fan connector.
