RADIATOR
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect battery ground cable
2. Loosen drain plug to drain coolant.
3. Radiator Hose
1) Disconnect lower hose and upper hose from the
engine.
4. Fan Guide
1) Remove clips on both sides and the bottom lock.
5. Reservoir Tank Hose
1) Disconnect the hose from radiator.
6. Bracket
7. Radiator Assembly
1) Remove the radiator assembly upward by the
hoses taking care not to damage the radiator
core by the fan blade.
2) Remove rubber cushions on both sides of the
bottom.
INSPECTION
Radiator Cap
1) Measure the valve opening pressure with the
radiator cap tester. Replace the radiator cap if it
exceeds the standard.
Valve opening pressure: 93.2 – 122.7 kPa
(0.95 – 1.25 kg/cm
2/
13.5 – 17.8 psi)
Check the condition of the negative pressure valve in
the center of the valve seat side of the cap. If the valve
seat does not move smoothly due to rust or dust, clean
and replace the radiator cap.Radiator Core
1) Deformed radiator fins could reduce radiation
effects, resulting in overheating. Straighten the fins.
In such a case, take care not to damage the fin
roots.
2) Remove dust and other foreign materials.
Flushing the Radiator
1) Wash the inside of radiator and the coolant
passage with water and a neutral detergent.
Remove all scales and rust.

6B – 10 ENGINE COOLING
Checking for Coolant Leakage
1) Check the cooling system for leakage with the
radiator cap tester by applying 196.0 kPa (28.4 psi)
air pressure from filler neck to inside the radiator.
INSTALLATION
1. Radiator Assembly
1) Install rubber cushions on both sides of radiator
bottom.
2) Install radiator assembly with hose, taking care
not to damage the radiator core by a fan blade.
2. Bracket
1) Support the radiator upper tank with the bracket
and fix the radiator.
3. Reserve Tank Hose
4. Fan Guide, Lower
5. Radiator Hose
1) Connect inlet hose and outlet hose to the
engine.
2) Connect battery ground cable.
3) Pour coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and up
to MAX mark of reserve tank.
4) Start engine to warm up, and check for coolant
level. Replenish coolant if it does not reach the
radiator filler neck, and tighten the cap
completely.
