Precautions
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURENBLC00131. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from
mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil
from these areas.
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces.
(Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant Part No. 999MP-A7007
or equivalent.)
IFor oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 4.0 to 5.0 mm
(0.157 to 0.197 in).
IFor areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 2.0
to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
3. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes (unless
otherwise specified).
4. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine
coolant.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKSNBLC0016S04To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with a
tester.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator
damage.
Water Pump
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONNBLC0017CAUTION:
IWhen removing water pump assembly, be careful not to
get coolant on drive belt.
IWater pump cannot be disassembled and should be
replaced as a unit.
IAfter installing water pump, connect hose and clamp
securely, then check for leaks using radiator cap tester.

12. Tighten M8 bolts by turning half turn alternately until they reach
timing chain rear case.
IIn order to prevent damages to water pump or timing chain rear
case, do not tighten one bolt continuously. Always turn each
bolt half turn each time.

Cooling Fan (Crankshaft driven)
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION=NBLC0038IDo not release the drive belt tension by removing the fan/water
pump pulley.
IFan coupling cannot be disassembled and should be replaced
as a unit. If front markFis present, install fan so that side
markedFfaces the front.
IInstall the drive belt only after the fan and fan coupling to water
pump flange bolts/nuts have been properly torqued.
IProper alignment of these components is essential. Improper
alignment will cause them to wobble and may eventually cause
the fan to separate from the water pump causing extensive
damage.
SLC067B
INSPECTIONNBLC0039Check fan coupling for rough operation, wobbling, oil leakage or
bent bimetal.
SLC151B
After assembly, verify the fan does not wobble or flap while the
engine is running.
WARNING:
IWhen the engine is running, keep hands and clothing
away from moving parts such as drive belts and fan.
