6B-2 ENGINE COOLING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
COOLING SYSTEM CIRCULATION
During engine warm-up (thermostat closed), the water pump discharges coolant into the water jacket chamber
adjacent to No.1 cylinder. Coolant then flows through the cylinder block and the cylinder heat. Coolant then returns
to the water pump through intake manifold, heater inlet hose, heater unit, heater outlet hose, and water intake pipe.
During normal temperatures (thermostat open), coolant takes the same basic route but is now allowed to flow past
the thermostat, the inlet hose and the radiator, and then back to the water pump through the outlet hose and the
water intake pipe.

ENGINE COOLING 6B-3
THERMOSTAT
A wax pellet type thermostat is used in the coolant outlet passage
to control the flow of engine coolant, to provide fast engine warm
up and to regulate coolant temperatures.
A wax pellet element is hermetically contained in a metal case, and
expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
When the pellet is heated and expands, the metal case pushes
down the valve to open it.
As the pellet is cooled, the contraction allows the spring to close the
valve.
Thus, the valve remains closed while the coolant is cold, preventing
circulation of coolant through the radiator.
At this point, coolant is allowed to circulate only throughout the en-
gine to warm it quickly and evenly.
As the engine warms, the pellet expands and the thermostat valve
opens, permitting coolant to flow through the radiator.
In the top portion of the thermostat, an air bleed valve (1) is pro-
vided; this valve is for venting out the gas or air, if any, that is accu-
mulated in the circuit.

begins to open88C (190F)

COOLING FAN
The cooling fan is driven by electric motor, and the motor is acti-
vated by ECM / PCM (engine coolant temp.). For its details, refer to
Section 6E.
WARNING:
Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from engine cooling
fan to help prevent personal injury. This fan is electric and
can come on whether or not the engine is running. The fan
can start automatically in response to the ECM / PCM (en-
gine coolant temp.) with the ignition switch in the “ON”
position.

MAINTENANCE
COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir tank.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is either 50 / 50 mixture of water and
GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 (ethylene glycol antifreeze.) or 30 / 70 mixture of water and GOLDEN CRUISER 1200.
The 50 / 50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to – 36C (– 33F), the 30 / 70 mixture coolant solu-
tion provides freezing protection to – 16C (3F).
When changing the engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 for the market
where ambient temperature falls lower than – 16C (3F) in winter and mixture of 70% water and 30% GOLDEN
CRUISER 1200 for the market where ambient temperature doesn’t fall lower than – 16C (3F).
NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any time
as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene
glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze / Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corrosion protec-
tion and lubrication.

COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH AND REFILL
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator cap while engine and ra-
diator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown
out under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool:
Turn cap counterclockwise slowly until it reaches a “stop”.
(Do not press down while turning it.)
Wait until pressure is relieved (indicated by a hissing sound)
then press down on cap and continue to turn it counterclock-
wise.
2) With radiator cap removed, run engine until upper radiator
hose is hot (this shows that thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through system).
3) Stop engine and open radiator drain plug (1) to drain coolant.
4) Close drain plug. Add water until system is filled and run engine
until upper radiator hose is hot again.
5) Repeat Steps 3) and 4) several times until drained liquid is
nearly colorless.
6) Drain system and then close radiator drain plug tightly.
7) Disconnect reservoir tank hose from radiator. Remove reser-
voir tank and pour out any fluid. Scrub and clean inside of tank
with soap and water.
Flush it well with clean water and drain. Reinstall tank and
hose.
8) add 50 / 50 mixture of GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 (Good quality
ethylene glycol anti-freeze) and water to radiator and tank.
Fill radiator to the base of radiator filler neck and reservoir tank
to “FULL” level mark. Reinstall reservoir tank cap.
9) Run engine, with radiator cap removed, until radiator upper
hose is hot.
10) With engine idling, add coolant to radiator until level reaches
the bottom of filler neck. Install radiator cap, making sure that
the ear of cap lines up with reservoir tank hose.
