COOLING SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-2-7
Inlet manifold - Cooling connections
Coolant leaves the cylinder block via an outlet pipe attached to the front of the air intake manifold. The pipe is
connected to the thermostat housing and the radiator by a branch hose off the radiator top hose.
Hot coolant from the engine is also directed from the inlet manifold via pipes and hoses into the heater matrix. Coolant
is circulated through the heater matrix at all times when the engine is running.
A further tapping from the inlet manifold supplies coolant to the throttle housing via a hose. The coolant circulates
through a plate attached to the bottom of the housing and is returned through a plastic bleed pipe to an expansion
tank. The hot coolant heats the air intake of the throttle housing preventing ice from forming.
An Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is fitted in the inlet manifold adjacent to the manifold outlet pipe. The
sensor monitors coolant temperature emerging from the engine and sends signals to the ECM for engine
management and temperature gauge operation.

Expansion tank
The expansion tank is located in the engine compartment. The tank is made from moulded plastic and attached to
brackets on the right hand inner wing. A maximum coolant when cold level is moulded onto the tank.
Excess coolant created by heat expansion is returned to the expansion tank from the radiator bleed pipe at the top of
the radiator. An outlet pipe is connected into the pump feed hose and replaces the coolant displaced by heat
expansion into the system when the engine is cool.
The expansion tank is fitted with a sealed pressure cap. The cap contains a pressure relief valve which opens to allow
excessive pressure and coolant to vent through the overflow pipe. The relief valve opens at a pressure of 1.4 bar (20
lbf.in
2) and above.
Heater matrix
The heater matrix is fitted in the heater assembly inside the passenger compartment. Two pipes pass through the
bulkhead into the engine compartment and provide coolant flow to and from the matrix. The pipes from the bulkhead
are connected to the matrix, sealed with 'O' rings and clamped with circular rings.
The matrix is constructed from aluminium with two end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located
between the tubes and conduct heat away from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes. Air from the heater
assembly is warmed as it passes through the matrix fins. The warm air is then distributed into the passenger
compartment as required.

+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.When the engine is
running, coolant from the engine is constantly circulated through the heater matrix.
Radiator
The 45 row radiator is located at the front of the vehicle. The cross-flow type radiator is manufactured from aluminium
with moulded plastic end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located between the tubes and conduct
heat from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes, reducing the cooling temperature as it flows through the radiator.
Air intake from the front of the vehicle when moving carries heat away from the fins. When the vehicle is stationary,
the viscous fan draws air through the radiator fins to prevent the engine from overheating.
Two connections at the top of the radiator provide for the attachment of the top hose and bleed pipe. A connection at
the bottom of the radiator allows for the attachment of the bottom hose to the thermostat housing.
Two smaller radiators are located in front of the cooling radiator. The lower radiator provides cooling of the gearbox
oil and the upper radiator provides cooling for the engine oil.

Pipes and hoses
The coolant circuit comprises flexible hoses and metal formed pipes which direct coolant into and out of the engine,
radiator and heater matrix. Plastic pipes are used for the bleed and overflow pipes to the expansion tank.
A bleed screw is installed in the radiator top hose and is used to bleed air during system filling. A drain plug is fitted
to each cylinder bank in the cylinder block. These are used to drain the block of coolant.

5Inlet connection
The coolant pump is attached to the front of the cylinder block with nine bolts and sealed between the pump housing
and the cylinder block with a gasket. The pump comprises a shaft which passes through an alloy housing. The outer
end of the shaft has a flange which allows for the attachment of the pump drive pulley which is secured with three
bolts. The drive pulley is driven by the grooved auxiliary drive belt and rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft.
The inner end of the shaft is fitted with an impeller which draws coolant from the thermostat housing and circulates it
through the galleries in the cylinder block and through the heater matrix.
The shaft is supported on bearings in the housing which are packed with grease and sealed for life. A seal is
positioned in the housing to further protect the bearings from the ingress of coolant. The seal is manufactured from a
synthetic material which will allow for expansion of the casing when hot coolant is present.
The cast alloy housing has a hose connection which provides the attachment for the coolant pump feed hose. The
cast housing connects with galleries in the cylinder block and distributes coolant from the pump impeller into the
galleries and water jackets.

Operation
Coolant flow - Engine warm up
Refer to illustration.

+ COOLING SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Cooling system coolant flow.
During warm-up the coolant pump moves fluid through the cylinder block and it emerges from the inlet manifold outlet
pipe. From the outlet pipe, the warm coolant flow is prevented from flowing through the radiator because the
thermostat is closed. The coolant is directed into the heater circuit.
Some coolant from the by-pass pipe can pass through small sensing holes in the flow valve. The warm coolant enters
a tube in the thermostat housing and surrounds 90% of the thermostat sensitive area. Cold coolant returning from the
radiator bottom hose conducts through 10% of the thermostat sensitive area. In cold ambient temperatures the engine
temperature can be raised by up to 10
°C (50°F) to compensate for the heat loss of the 10% exposure to the cold
coolant returning from the radiator bottom hose.
At engine idle speed, the by-pass valve is closed only allowing the small flow through the sensing holes. As the engine
speed increases above idle, the greater flow and pressure from the pump overcomes the light spring and opens the
by-pass flow valve. The flow valve opens to meet the engines cooling needs at higher engine speeds and prevents
excess pressure in the system. With the thermostat closed, maximum flow is directed through the heater circuit.
The heater matrix acts as a heat exchanger reducing coolant temperature as it passes through the matrix. Coolant
emerges from the matrix and flows into the coolant pump feed pipe and recirculated around the heater circuit. In this
condition the cooling system is operating at maximum heater performance.
Coolant flow - Engine hot
As the coolant temperature increases the thermostat opens. This allows some coolant from the outlet housing to flow
through the top hose and into the radiator to be cooled. The hot coolant flows from the left tank in the radiator, along
the tubes to the right tank. The air flowing through the fins between the tubes cools the coolant as it passes through
the radiator.
A controlled flow of the lower temperature coolant is drawn by the pump and blended with hot coolant from the by-
pass and the heater return pipes in the pump feed pipe. The pump then passes this coolant into the cylinder block to
cool the cylinders.

MANIFOLDS AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 30-2-5
Description
General
The inlet manifold on the V8 engine is located on the top of the engine, between the cylinders. The manifold directs
intake air into the cylinders. The intake air is mixed with fuel delivered by the injectors prior to ignition in the cylinders.
The inlet manifold comprises three separate aluminium castings.
Two exhaust manifolds are used, one for each bank of four cylinders. Each exhaust manifold allows combustion
gases from the cylinders to leave the engine and directs them into the exhaust system.
The exhaust system is connected to each exhaust manifold and merges into one pipe midway along the underside of
the vehicle. A catalytic converter (where fitted) is located in the front pipe from each manifold. A silencer is installed
midway along the system and a second tail silencer is located at the rear of the vehicle.
Inlet manifold
The inlet manifold comprises three aluminium castings; a lower manifold, an upper manifold and a plenum. The inlet
manifold is located on the top of the engine and feeds air into the cylinders.
Lower manifold
The lower manifold is a one piece machined aluminium casting which locates in the vee on the top of the engine and
is secured to each cylinder head with six bolts per head. A one piece coated metal gasket seals the lower manifold to
each cylinder head and also serves as a cover for the cylinder block.
Eight injectors are fitted into the lower manifold, four on each side. Each injector is sealed in the manifold with O-ring
seals and retained in position by the fuel rails. A fuel rail is attached to each side of the manifold and secured with two
bolts.
Eight air intake ports are cast and machined on the top of the manifold, each port directing intake air into one cylinder.
These ports mate with matching ports in the upper manifold and are sealed with a coated metal gasket between the
two manifolds.
A cavity at the front of the manifold collects coolant flow from the engine. A coolant outlet pipe is sealed and attached
to the front of the manifold and provides for coolant to flow through the cavity in the casting to the radiator top hose.
A smaller port in the manifold also allows coolant to flow from the cavity to the heater matrix. The lower manifold also
locates the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor in a port in the front of the manifold.
Upper manifold
The upper manifold is a one piece machined aluminium casting. The manifold has eight ports on its lower face which
mate with the eight ports on the lower manifold. The joint between the upper and lower manifolds is sealed with a
coated metal gasket and secured with six bolts.
The manifold divides from the eight ports into eight branches, four on each side. Each set of four branches merge into
one gallery on each side of the manifold. Each gallery has an opening at its forward end which mates with the intake
plenum.
The upper manifold provides attachment for the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve and for brackets which retain pipes, plug
leads and throttle cables.
