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

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.

5) Tighten hose clamps and inspect all hoses.
Replace hoses whenever cracked, swollen or otherwise
deteriorated.
6) Clean frontal area of radiator core.
Cooling System Flush and Refill
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool:
Turn cap slowly to the left until it reaches a “stop” (Do not
press down while turning it).
Wait until pressure is relieved (indicated by a hissing sound)
then press down on cap and continue to turn it to the left.
2) With radiator cap removed, run engine until upper radiator
hose is hot (this shows that thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through system).
3) Stop engine and open radiator drain plug (1) to drain cool-
ant.
4) Close drain plug. Add water until system is filled and run
engine until upper radiator hose is hot again.
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 several times until drained liquid is
nearly colorless.
6) Drain system and then close radiator drain plug tightly.
7) Disconnect hose from water reservoir (1). Remove reservoir
and pour out any fluid. Scrub and clean inside of reservoir
with soap and water. Flush it well with clean water and drain.
Reinstall reservoir and hose.
8) Add 50/50 mixture of good quality ethylene glycol antifreeze
and water to radiator and reservoir.
Fill radiator to the base of radiator filler neck and reservoir to
“FULL” level mark (2). Reinstall reservoir cap setting the
arrow marks (4) on the reservoir and cap as the figure. NOTE:
After installing radiator cap (1) to radiator, make sure that
its ear (2) is aligned with reservoir hose (3) as shown in
figure.
If not, turn cap more to align its ear with hose.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scald-
ing fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if
cap is taken off too soon.
