Be careful not to spill coolant over engine compartment. Use
a rag to absorb coolant.
1. Drain engine coolant.
Refer to LC-17, ªChanging Engine Coolantº.
2. Remove water inlet, then take out thermostat.
SEM862F
3. Install gum ring to thermostat.
SEM863F
4. Install thermostat with jiggle valve or air bleeder at upper side.
After installation, run engine for a few minutes, and check
for leaks.

INSPECTIONNJLC00221. Check for valve seating condition at normal room temperature.
It should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and valve lift.
Valve opening temperature ÉC (ÉF) 82 (180)
Valve lift mm/ÉC (in/ÉF) More than 8/95 (0.31/203)
3. Then check if valve closes at 5ÉC (9ÉF) below valve opening
temperature.
