MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-9
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug (1) to drain coolant.
3) Remove reservoir and drain.
4) Tighten drain plug securely. Also install reservoir.
5) Slowly pour specified amount of coolant to the base of radiator
filler neck, and run engine, with radiator cap removed, until ra-
diator upper hose is hot. This drives out any air which may still
be trapped within cooling system. Add coolant as necessary un-
til coolant level reaches filler throat of radiator. Reinstall radiator
cap.
6) Add coolant to reservoir (1) so that its level aligns with Full mark
(2). Then, reinstall cap to reservoir aligning match marks (3) on
reservoir and cap.
ITEM 1-6
Exhaust System Inspection
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust sys-
tem when it is still hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be performed when
it is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance or vehicle is raised for oth-
er service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage and deterioration.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents,
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification. Refer to
SECTION 6K for torque specification of bolts and nuts.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing or mispositioned
parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other defects
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clear-
ance from underbody to avoid overheating and possible damage
to floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.

REMOVAL
1) Remove cylinder head from cylinder block as previously out-
lined.
2) Drain engine oil.
3) Remove oil pan and oil pump strainer as previously outlined.
4) Mark cylinder number on all pistons, connecting rods and rod
bearing caps, using silver pencil or quick drying paint.
5) Remove rod bearing caps.
6) Install guide hose (1) over threads of rod bolts. This is to prevent
damage to bearing journal and rod bolt threads when removing
connecting rod.
7) Decarbon top of cylinder bore before removing piston from cylin-
der.
8) Push piston and connecting rod assembly out through the top of
cylinder bore.
