Precautions
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURENLLC01301. 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 Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
+For oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 4.0 to 5.0 mm
(0.157 to 0.197 in).
+For 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.

System CheckNLLC0133WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter turn
to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSESNLLC0133S01Check hoses for the following:
+Improper attachment
+Leaks
+Cracks
+Damage
+Chafing
+Deterioration

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKSNLLC0133S02To 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 pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.

CHECKING RADIATORNLLC0133S03Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as
follows.
+Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
+When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all sur-
rounding parts such as cooling fan, rediator shroud and horns.
Then tape the harness and connectors to prevent water from
entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core ver-
tically download.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per
minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radia-
tor.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically download.
+Use compressesd air lower than 490 kPa (5 kg/cm
2, 71 psi)
and keep distance more than 30 cm (11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per
minute until no water sprays out.

6. Remove water pump.
CAUTION:
+When removing water pump assembly, be careful not to
get coolant on drive belt.
+Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be
replaced as a unit.
+After installing water pump, connect hose and clamp
securely, then check for leaks using radiator cap tester.

7. Use a scraper to remove liquid gasket from water pump.
+Also remove traces of liquid gasket from mating surface
of cylinder block.

8. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surface of
water pump.
+Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
When filling radiator with coolant, refer to LC-38, ªChanging

Changing Engine Coolant=NLLC0108WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the cool-
ant when the engine is hot.
Ð DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT ÐNLLC0108S011. Set air conditioning system as follows to prevent coolant from
remaining in the system.
a. Turn ignition switch ªONº and set temperature controller to
