1. Drain engine oil and coolant.
Remove catalyst and turbocharger. Refer to ªCATALYST AND
TURBOCHARGERº in EM section.
2. Remove bolts A to C then remove oil cooler assembly.
IDo not remove ªDº nuts when removing oil cooler assem-
bly.
Bolt length:

System Check
WARNING:
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 HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
IImproper attachment
ILeaks
ICracks
IDamage
IChafing
IDeterioration
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with a
tester.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
To check radiator cap, apply pressure to cap with a tester.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
Standard
78-98kPa
(0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
Pull the negative pressure valve to open it.
Check that it closes completely when released.

Water Pump
CAUTION:
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.
IAlways replace with new gasket.
IAfter installing water pump, connect hose and clamp
securely, then check for leaks using radiator cap tester.
Refer to MA section.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Drain coolant from radiator and cylinder block.
Refer to MA section (ªChanging Engine Coolantº, ªENGINE
MAINTENANCEº).
2. Remove radiator upper hose.
3. Remove radiator shroud.
4. Remove cooling fan.
5. Remove drive belt. Refer to MA section, ªChecking Drive Beltº.
6. Remove insulator.
7. Remove vacuum pipe.
8. Remove TDC sensor. Refer to EM section, ªTDC sensor
removal and installationº in ªTIMING GEARº.
9. Remove fan coupling with water pump.
10. Install in the reverse order of removal.

INSPECTION
1. Check for badly rusted or corroded body assembly and vane.
2. Check for rough operation due to excessive end play.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble water pump coupling assembly.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Drain engine coolant. Refer to MA section, ªChanging Engine
Coolantº.
2. Remove left side battery. (If so equipped)
3. Remove radiator upper hose.
4. Remove radiator shroud.
5. Remove intake air duct, inlet pipe.
6. Remove harness and connectors.
7. Install in reverse order of removal.
IAfter installation, run engine for a few minutes and check
for leaks.
IBe careful not to spill coolant in engine compartment. Use
a rag to absorb coolant.
INSPECTION
1. Check valve seating condition at ordinary temperatures. It
should seat tightly.
2. Check valve opening temperature and maximum valve lift.
Valve opening temperature ÉC (ÉF) 82 (180)
Maximum valve lift mm/ÉC (in/ÉF) 10/95 (0.39/203)
3. Then check if valve closes at 5ÉC (9ÉF) below valve opening
temperature.
Water Outlet
INSPECTION
Visual inspection for water leaks. If there is leakage, replace gas-
ket.

Oil Pressure Check
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
IOil pressure check should be done in ªNeutralº gear posi-
tion.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove oil pressure switch.
3. Install pressure gauge.
4. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.
Engine rpmApproximate discharge pressure
kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Idle speed More than 78 (0.78, 0.8, 11)
3,000 294 - 392 (2.94 - 3.92, 3.0 - 4.0, 43 - 57)
If difference is extreme, check oil passage and oil pump for oil
leaks.
6. Install oil pressure switch.
Use proper liquid sealant.
