2. PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CON-
CENTRATION OF THE COOLANT
To adjust the concentration of coolant according to
temperature, find the proper fluid concentration in
the above diagram and replace the necessary
amount of coolant with an undiluted solution of
SUBARU Genuine Coolant (concentration 50%).
The amount of engine coolant that should be re-
placed can be determined using the diagram.
[Example]
Assume that the engine coolant concentration must
be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where
the 25% line of engine coolant concentration inter-
sects with the 40% curve of the necessary engine
coolant concentration, and read the scale on the
vertical axis of the graph at height A. The quantity
of coolant to be drained is 2.12;(2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp
qt). Drain 2.1 2(2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of coolant
from the cooling system and add 2.1 2(2.2 US qt,
1.8 Imp qt) of the undiluted solution of SUBARU
coolant.
If a coolant concentration of 50% is needed, drain
all the coolant and refill with the undiluted solution
only.

1) Visually check for cracks and damage. Especial-
ly, inspect the important parts using liquid pene-
trant tester.
2) Check the oil passages for clogging.
3) Inspect the crankcase surface that mates with
cylinder head for warping by using a straight edge.
Standard height of cylinder block:

2. CYLINDER AND PISTON
1) The cylinder bore size is stamped on the front
upper face of the cylinder block.
NOTE:
•Measurement should be performed at a temper-
ature of 20°C (68°F).
•Standard sized pistons are classified into two
grades, “A” and “B”. These grades should be used
as guide lines in selecting a standard piston.
Standard diameter:
A: 89.205 — 89.215 mm (3.5120 — 3.5124 in)
B: 89.195 — 89.205 mm (3.5116 — 3.5120 in)
2) How to measure the inner diameter of each cyl-
inder:
Measure the inner diameter of each cylinder in both
the thrust and piston pin directions at the heights as
shown in the figure, using a cylinder bore gauge.
NOTE:
Measurement should be performed at a tempera-
ture of 20°C (68°F).
Cylindricality:
Standard
0.030 mm (0.0012 in)
Out-of-roundness:
Standard
0.010 mm (0.0004 in)

ture of 20°C (68°F).
20 Cylinder to piston clearance at 20°C (68°F):
Standard
–0.010 — 0.010 mm (–0.00039 — 0.00039 in)
6) Boring and honing:
(1) If the value of cylindricality, out-of-round-
ness, or cylinder-to-piston clearance measured
is out of standard or if there is any damage on
the cylinder wall, rebore it to use an oversize
piston.
CAUTION:
When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all
other cylinders must be bored at the same time,
and use oversize pistons. Do not perform bor-
ing on one cylinder only. Nor use an oversize
piston for one cylinder only.
(2) If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds
89.715 mm (3.5321 in) after boring and honing,
replace the crankcase.
NOTE:
Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diameter
may differ from its real diameter due to temperature
rise. Thus, pay attention to this when measuring
the cylinder diameter.
3. PISTON AND PISTON PIN
1) Check the pistons and piston pins for damage,
cracks and wear, and the piston ring grooves for
wear and damage. Replace if faulty.
2) Measure the piston-to-cylinder clearance at
each cylinder. AND PISTON, INSPECTION, Cylinder Block.>If
any of the clearances is not within standard, re-
place the piston or bore the cylinder to use an over-
size piston.
3) Make sure that the piston pin can be inserted
into the piston pin hole with a thumb at 20°C (68°F).
Replace if faulty.
Standard clearance between piston pin and
hole in piston:

2. RELATIONSHIP OF SUBARU COOLANT
CONCENTRATION AND FREEZING TEM-
PERATURE
The concentration and safe operating temperature
of SUBARU coolant is shown in the diagram. Mea-
suring the temperature and specific gravity of the
coolant will provide this information.
[Example]
If the coolant temperature is 25°C (77°F) and its
specific gravity is 1.054, the concentration is 35%
(point A), the safe operating temperature is –14°C
(7°F) (point B), and the freezing temperature is –
20°C (–4°F) (point C).
3. PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CON-
CENTRATION OF THE COOLANT
To adjust the concentration of coolant according to
temperature, find the proper fluid concentration in
the above diagram and replace the necessary
amount of coolant with an undiluted solution of
SUBARU genuine coolant (concentration 50%).
The amount of engine coolant that should be re-
placed can be determined using the diagram.
[Example]
Assume that the engine coolant concentration must
be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where
the 25% line of engine coolant concentration inter-
sects with the 40% curve of the necessary engine
coolant concentration, and read the scale on the
vertical axis of the graph at height A. The quantity
of coolant to be drained is 2.12;(2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp
qt). Drain 2.1 2(2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of coolant
from the cooling system and add 2.1 2(2.2 US qt,
1.8 Imp qt) of the undiluted solution of SUBARU
coolant.
If a coolant concentration of 50% is needed, drain
all the coolant and refill with the undiluted solution
only.

3) Check the pedal stroke.
While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal
with a 500 N (51 kgf, 112 lb) load and measure the
distance between the brake pedal and steering
wheel. With the brake pedal released, measure the
distance between pedal and steering wheel again.
The difference between the two measured values
must be less than specified value. If the measured
value is more than specification, there is possibility
of entering air in hydraulic unit.
Brake pedal stroke A:
115 mm (4.5 in)/ 500 N (51 kgf, 112 kg) or less
4) Check to see if air is in the hydraulic brake line
by the feel of pedal operation. If air appears to exist
in the line, bleed it from the system.
5) Check for even operation of all brakes, using a
brake tester or by driving the vehicle for a short dis-
tance on a straight road.
3. BRAKE SERVO SYSTEM
1) With the engine off, depress the brake pedal
several times applying the same pedal force. Make
sure the travel distance should not change.
2) With the brake pedal depressed, start the en-
gine. Make sure the pedal should move slightly to-
ward the floor.
3) With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine
and keep the pedal depressed for 30 seconds.
Make sure the pedal height should not change.
4) A check valve is incorporated into the vacuum
hose part. Disconnect the vacuum hose to inspect
function of check valve.
Make sure air flows from the booster end to engine
end but does not flow in the opposite direction in
the check valve.
5) Check the vacuum hose for cracks or other dam-
age.
NOTE:
When installing the vacuum hose on the engine
and brake booster, do not use soapy water or lubri-
cating oil on their connections.
6) Check the vacuum hose to make sure it is tightly
secured.
