COOLING SYSTEM - V8
26-2-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Coolant pump
1Pulley flange
2Body
3Impeller4Gallery
5Inlet connection
The coolant pump is attached to the front of the cylinder block with nine bolts and sealed between the pump housing
and the cylinder block with a gasket. The pump comprises a shaft which passes through an alloy housing. The outer
end of the shaft has a flange which allows for the attachment of the pump drive pulley which is secured with three
bolts. The drive pulley is driven by the grooved auxiliary drive belt and rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft.
The inner end of the shaft is fitted with an impeller which draws coolant from the thermostat housing and circulates it
through the galleries in the cylinder block and through the heater matrix.
The shaft is supported on bearings in the housing which are packed with grease and sealed for life. A seal is
positioned in the housing to further protect the bearings from the ingress of coolant. The seal is manufactured from a
synthetic material which will allow for expansion of the casing when hot coolant is present.
The cast alloy housing has a hose connection which provides the attachment for the coolant pump feed hose. The
cast housing connects with galleries in the cylinder block and distributes coolant from the pump impeller into the
galleries and water jackets.

COOLING SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-2-9
Viscous fan
1Coolant pump pulley drive attachment
2Fan blades3Bi-metallic coil
4Body
The viscous fan provides a means of controlling the speed of the fan relative to the operating temperature of the
engine. The fan rotation draws air through the radiator, reducing engine coolant temperatures when the vehicle is
stationary or moving slowly.
The viscous fan is attached to the coolant pump drive pulley and secured to the pulley by a nut. The nut is positively
attached to a spindle which is supported on bearings in the fan body. The viscous drive comprises a circular drive
plate attached to the spindle and driven from the coolant pump pulley and the coupling body. The drive plate and the
body have interlocking annular grooves with a small clearance which provides the drive when silicone fluid enters the
fluid chamber. A bi-metallic coil is fitted externally on the forward face of the body. The coil is connected to and
operates a valve in the body. The valve operates on a valve plate with ports that connect the reservoir to the fluid
chamber. The valve plate also has return ports which, when the valve is closed, scoop fluid from the fluid chamber
and push it into the reservoir under centrifugal force.
Silicone fluid is retained in a reservoir at the front of the body. When the engine is off and the fan is stationary, the
silicone fluid level stabilises between the reservoir and the fluid chamber. This will result in the fan operating when the
engine is started, but the drive will be removed quickly after the fan starts rotating and the fan will 'freewheel'.
At low radiator temperatures, the fan operation is not required and the bi-metallic coil keeps the valve closed,
separating the silicone fluid from the drive plate. This allows the fan to 'freewheel' reducing the load on the engine,
improving fuel consumption and reducing noise generated by the rotation of the fan.
When the radiator temperature increases, the bi-metallic coil reacts and moves the valve, allowing the silicone fluid
to flow into the fluid chamber. The resistance to shear of the silicone fluid creates drag on the drive plate and provides
drive to the body and the fan blades.

WARNING: Since injury such as scalding could
be caused by escaping steam or coolant, do not
remove the filler cap from the coolant expansion
tank while the system is hot.
Drain
1.Visually check engine and cooling system for
signs of coolant leaks.
2.Examine hoses for signs of cracking, distortion
and security of connections.
3.Position drain tray to collect coolant.
4.Remove expansion tank filler cap.

allow cooling system to drain.
7.Disconnect top hose from thermostat and
position open end of hose below level of
coolant pump inlet, to allow coolant to drain
from the system.
Refill
1.Flush system with water under low pressure.
Do not use water under high pressure as it
could damage the radiator.
2.Apply Loctite 577 to cylinder block drain
plugs.Fit drain plugs to cylinder block and
tighten to 30 Nm (22 lbf.ft).
3.Connect bottom hose to radiator and top hose
to thermostat housing. Secure with hose clips.
4.Prepare coolant to required concentration.
