ENGINE COOLANT

4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated,
flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-10, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring.

If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-82, "CYLINDER
BLOCK" .
2. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.

Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.

Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant or equivalent
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to
MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
3. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature with radiator cap installed.
4. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed.

Repeat two or three times.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
5. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).

Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.

If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
6. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
8. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
9. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
10. Repeat step 9 three times.
11. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 2 through 5 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.

Clean excess engine coolant from engine.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
2. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.Engine coolant capacity

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Place a string so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat and
water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with water.
Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows thermo-
stat.)

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the full open valve lift amount.
NOTE:
The full open valve lift amount standard temperature for water
control valve is the reference value.

After checking the full open valve lift amount, lower the water
temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard:

If out of the standard, replace either or both thermostat and water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve

Install thermostat with making rubber ring groove fit to thermo-
stat flange with the whole circumference. (The example in the
figure shows thermostat.)
NOTE:
Same procedure is applied for installation of water control valve.

Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position
deviation may be within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the
figure.)

Install water control valve with the arrow facing up and the frame
center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may be
within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the figure.)
Heater Pipe Installation
Apply a neutral detergent to O-ring, then quickly insert the insertion part of heater pipe into cylinder block.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid (A/T models).
