General Description
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, reservoir, hoses, water pump, cooling fan & clutch,
thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
Cooling System Circulation
1. Radiator inlet hose 5. Water pump 9. Heater outlet hose
2. Radiator outlet hose 6. Fast idle control plunger of throttle body 10. Radiator
3. Water inlet pipe 7. Cylinder block/cylinder head
4. Thermostat 8. Heater inlet hose

9) Run engine, with radiator cap removed, until radiator upper
hose is hot.
10) With engine idling, add coolant to radiator until level reaches
the bottom of filler neck. Install radiator cap, making sure
that the ear of cap lines up with reservoir hose.
Water Pump Belt Tension
1) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanli-
ness. If it is necessary to replace belt, refer to “Water Pump
Belt and Cooling Fan” in this section.
2) Check belt for tension. Belt is in proper tension when it
deflects 4.5 to 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) under thumb pres-
sure (about 10 kg or 22 lb.).
Water pump belt tension
“a” : 4.5 – 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) as deflection / 10 kg (22
lbs)
3) If belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it to proper tension by
displacing generator position.
4) Tighten generator adjusting bolt and pivot bolts as specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Generator adjusting bolt (a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Generator pivot bolts (b) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.0 lb-ft)
5) Connect negative cable at battery terminal.WARNING:
Disconnect negative cable at battery before checking and
adjusting belt tension.
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt tension
to 3 – 4 mm (0.12 – 0.16 in.).
