REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure referring to “Fuel Pressure Relief Pro-
cedure” in Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Remove engine hood after disconnecting windshield washer
hose.

equipped).
5) Remove generator belt.
6) Drain engine oil.
7) Drain coolant.
8) Disconnect radiator inlet and outlet hoses from each pipe.
9) Disconnect A/T fluid hoses (2) (vehicle with A/T) and release
its clamps. Place some container under radiator to receive
A/T fluid which will flow out when hose is disconnected.
10) Remove fan shroud upper bolts and install board (1) or the
like. This prevents damage to radiator fins when removing
and installing radiator.
11) Remove radiator with cooling fan referring to Section 6B.
Then remove water pump pulley.
12) With hose connected, detach P/S pump from its bracket (if
equipped) referring to “Power Steering Pump” in Section
3B1.

steering vehicle differs from its of left hand steering vehicle.
Each work is as follows. WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug (1) and radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure if plug and cap are taken off too soon.
NOTE:
Suspend removed P/S pump at a place where no damage
will be caused during removal and installation of engine
assembly.

Radiator Cap
A pressure-vent cap is used on the radiator. The cap contains a
pressure valve (1) and ventilation valve (2).
The cap has its face marked 1.1, which means that its pressure
valve opens at 1.1 kg/cm
2 (15.6 psi, 110 kPa).
Coolant Reservoir
A “see-through” plastic reservoir (1) is connected to the radiator
by a hose.
Coolant level should be between “FULL” level mark (2) and
“LOW” level mark (3) on the reservoir.
Coolant should be added only to the reservoir as necessary.NOTE:
Do not remove radiator cap to check engine coolant
level; check coolant visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
Coolant should be added only to reservoir as necessary.
WARNING:
As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the
temperature can be considerably higher than the boiling
temperature of the solution in the radiator without caus-
ing the solution to boil. Removal of the radiator cap while
engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution
to boil instantaneously and possibly with explosive force,
spewing the solution over engine, fenders and person
removing cap. If the solution contains flammable anti-
freeze such as alcohol (not recommended for use at any
time), there is also the possibility or causing a serious
fire.

NOTE:
When installing reservoir cap, set arrow marks (4) on the
reservoir and cap as the figure.

Water Pump
The centrifugal type water pump is used in the cooling system.
The pump impeller is supported by a totally sealed bearing.
The water pump can not be disassembled.
Thermostat
A wax pellet type thermostat is used in the cooling system.
The temperature at which the valve begins to open is stamped on
thermostat.
In the top portion of the thermostat, an air bleed valve (1) is pro-
vided; this valve is for venting out the gas or air, if any, that is
accumulated in the circuit.
Cooling Fan Clutch
Fluid is enclosed in the cooling fan clutch (2) and at its center
front, there is a bimetal (3) whose thermal reaction and the engine
speed control the cooling fan speed.
Coolant (Water) Temperature Gauge
A water temp. gauge is located at intake manifold.
This gauge activates a temp. meter in the instrument cluster.
When installing, wind sealing tape on gauge thread and tighten it.
NOTE:
Do not disassemble clutch assembly.
WARNING:
Keep hands, tools, and clothing away from engine cool-
ing fan (1) to help prevent personal injury.

Maintenance
Coolant
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is either 50/50 mixture of water and
anti-freeze / anti-corrosion coolant (ethylene glycol antifreeze).
The 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to – 36 °C ( – 33 °F).
Maintain cooling system freeze protection at – 36 °C ( – 33 °F) to ensure protection against corrosion and
loss of coolant from boiling.
This should be done even if freezing temperatures are not expected.
Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to be added because of coolant loss or to provide added
protection against freezing at temperature lower than – 36 °C ( – 33 °F).

NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze / Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
