ption and Operation
Engine Cooling Comp onents - Normally Aspirated Vehicles

Engine cooling is via a low volume, high velocity system which achieves a very fast warm up. The temperature of the
combustion chambers is reduced along with a more even temperature distribution. The temperature of the bores is increased.

F r
om the pump, coolant flows into each bank of the cylinder bl
ock. In each bank, approximately 50% of the coolant cools the
cylinder bores and the remainder is diverted th rough the bypass gallery to the cylinder head.
With the thermostat closed, coolant returns directly to the pump through the bypass on the thermostat housing.
With the thermostat open, coolant returns to the pump via the radiator.
The cooling system uses a mixture of water and Jaguar Anti-Freeze/Inhibitor (Dow 542).
The cooling system on a supercharged engine is similar, but has additional components for cooling the intake air.

T
he cooling system for the supercharged engine is very similar
to the normally aspirated engine, but with the addition of a
water cooled, intake air charge cooling system. This comprises a radiator, an electrically operated water pump and two
charge air cooler assemblies (heat exchangers) - one for each bank. The system works independently, but is connected to the
main cooling system at the bottom hose to allow for therma l expansion and to help to prevent unwanted circulation.
The condenser for the air conditioning system fits between th e coolant main radiator and the charge air cooling system
radiator.

iator - Main Cooling System

A coola n
t drain plug is located at the rear of the cylinder block.
Coolant may be drained from the A-bank, by removing the coolant pipe from behind the starter motor.
For vehicles fitted with the cold climate package, a cylinder block heater (shown) replaces the drain plug located on the B-
bank.
Coolant Pump and Flow Control

The coolant pump is fitted between the two cylinder banks, on the front face of the cylinder block.
The pump consists of a housing containing a shaft, with a sh rouded plastic impeller on one end and a drive pulley on the
other.
A pair of roller bearings support the shaft in the housing. A seal behind the impeller prevents coolant from contaminating the
bearings. Should this seal fail, coolant escapes from a witness hole in the housin g indicating that immediate action is
required.
An O-ring and an aluminum-alloy gasket, seal the ports between the pump and the cylinder banks.
