8. Remove engine coolant inlet, thermostat assembly and gasket.
•Do not disassemble engine cool ant inlet and thermostat.
Replace them as a unit, if necessary.
• Do not reuse gasket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.
• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and the thermostat falls from the thread.
• Continue heating. Check the full-open lift amount. NOTE:
The full-open lift amount standard temperature for the thermostat is
the reference value.
• After checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
• If valve setting at measured values are out of standard range, replace thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upward.
• After installation refill engine coolant and check for leaks. Refer to
CO-36, "Changing Engine Coolant"
and CO-35, "System Inspec-
tion".
CAUTION:
• Do not spill coolant in engi ne compartment. Use a shop
cloth to absorb coolant.
• Do not reuse gasket.
