6. Install lower radiator hose, reservoir tank and tighten cylinder
block drain plug securely.

Apply sealant to the thread of the cylinder block drain
plug.
:34-44N·m (3.5 - 4.5 kg-m, 25 - 33 ft-lb)
7. Fill up radiator with coolant at the speed of less than 3
(2-5/8

If coolant spills from the air relief hole without bubbles, rein-
stall the plug.
Air relief plug:
:7-8N·m (0,7 - 0,8 kg-m, 5,1 - 5,8 ft-lb)

8. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
9. Start engine without installing radiator cap and warm it up at
2,000 rpm until radiator lower hose becomes hot.

If coolant level becomes low, refill coolant until coolant level
does not change.

If coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install filler cap.
10. Run engine at 2,500 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.

Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
11. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.

If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck.
12. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
13. Repeat steps 9 through 12 two or more times with radiator
cap installed until coolant level no longer drops.
14. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
15. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while
running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater tem-
perature control set at several positions between COOL and
HOT.

Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
16. If the sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by
repeating steps 9 through 12 until coolant level no longer
drops.

5. Check drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corro-
sion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush engine cooling system.
