INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ROTOR
(a) Inspect the rotor for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the slip rings.
Standard resistance: 2.1 - 2.5 W at 20°C (68°F)
If there is no continuity, replace the rotor.
(b) Inspect the rotor for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the slip ring and rotor.
If there is continuity, replace the rotor.
(c) Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.
If rough or scored, replace the rotor.
(d) Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.
Standard diameter: 14.2 - 14.4 mm (0.559-0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter: 12.8 mm (0.504 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the rotor.
2. INSPECT STATOR (DRIVE END FLAME)
(a) Inspect the stator for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.
(b) Inspect the stator for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the coil lead and drive end frame.
If there is continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.

COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines, when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leaks and add ''Toyota Long Life Coolantº or Equivalent up to the ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap from the water outlet.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or water outlet
filler hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, clean the coolant passages and replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

REASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL OIL COOLER TO LOWER TANK
(a) Clean the O-ring contact surface of the lower tank and oil
cooler.
(b) Install a new O-rings (1) to the oil cooler (2).
(c) Install the oil cooler with the O-rings to the lower tank (3).
(d) Install the plate washers (4), and nuts (5). Torque the
nuts.
Torque: 8.3 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)
(e) Install the pipe (6).
Torque: 14.7 N´m (150 kgf´cm, 11 ft´lbf)
2. INSPECT LOCK PLATE
Inspect the lock plate for damage.
HINT:

If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reas-
sembly of the tank will be impossible.

Therefore, first correct any deformation with pliers or simi-
lar object. Water leakage will result if the bottom of the
lock plate groove is damaged or dented, Therefore, repair
or replace if necessary.
NOTICE:
The radiator can only be recaulked 2 times. After the 2nd
time, the radiator core must be replaced.
3. INSTALL NEW O-RINGS AND TANKS
(a) After checking that there are no foreign objects in the lock
plate groove, install the new O-ring without twisting it.
HINT:
When cleaning the lock plate groove, lightly rub it with sand pa-
per without scratching it.

The points shown in the rib sides and oil cooler near here
cannot be staked with SST. Use pliers or similar object
and be careful not to damage the core plates.
(b) Check the lock plate height (H) after completing the caulk-
ing.
Plate height (H): 7.4 - 7.8 mm (0.2959 - 0.3119 in.)
If not within the specified height, adjust the stopper bolt of the
handle again and caulk again.
6. INSTALL CUSHION
