• Do not allow the coolant to
contact the drive belts.
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
5. When draining all of the coolant in the system for engine removal or repair, open all of the drain plugs (A-D) on the cylin-
der block.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corro- sion or discoloration.
If the coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system.
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install the radiator drain plug. If the cooling syst em was drained completely, install the reservoir tank and
the cylinder block drain plugs.
• The radiator must be complete ly empty of coolant and water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance
Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"
.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper sealing washers.
2. If disconnected, reattach the upper radiator hose at the engine side.
3. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heat er ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.

ENGINE COOLANT
4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
• Use recommended coolant or equivalent.
Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubri-
cants".
CAUTION:
Do not use any cooling system additives such as radiator
sealer. Additives may clog th e cooling system and cause
damage to the engine, transm ission and/or cooling system.
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be vi sible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specifi ed amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose insert ed) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specif ied level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and t op up the system as necessary.
13. Install the engine under cover. Refer to EXT-17, "Removal and Installation"
.

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a th ick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
• When removing water pump assembly, be car eful not to get coolant on drive belt.
• Water pump cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a unit.
• After installing the water pump, connect hose and clamp securely, then check for leaks. Repair as
necessary.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.

20. Remove water pump:
a. Screw M8 bolts approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) into water pump upper and lower bolt holes until they reach the timing chain case
[M8 bolt pitch 1.25 mm (0.49 in) length].
CAUTION:
• Place a suitable shop cloth below the water pump hous-
ing to prevent any co olant from dripping into the timing
chain case.
• Pull water pump straight out while preventing vane from
contacting socket in installation area.
• Remove water pump without causing sprocket to contact
timing chain.
b. Remove M8 bolts and O-rings from water pump. CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Visually check for significant dirt or rust on the water pump body and vane.
• Check that the vane shaft turns smoothly by hand and is not
excessively loose.
• Replace the water pump assembly if the water pump does not per- form properly.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new O-rings on water pump (1).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
a. Apply engine oil to the O-rings (2,3) as shown.
b. Locate the O-ring (2) with white paint mark (A) to engine front side.
2. Hold timing chain to the side ( ) and install the water pump ().
CAUTION:
Do not allow the O-rings to be damaged by the cylinder
block when installing the water pump.
• Check that timing chain and water pump sprocket are
engaged.
• Tighten water pump bolts alternately and evenly to specifica- tion.
3. Remove dust and foreign material completely from installation area of timing chain tensioner and rear tim- ing chain case.

4. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 20
° clockwise so that
the timing chain on the timing chain tensioner side is loose.
5. Apply engine oil to the oil feed hole and timing chain tensioner and install the timing chain tensioner.
6. Remove the stopper pin (A).
7. Install valve timing control cover (bank 1) and water pump cover.
a. Before installing, remove all traces of liquid gasket from mating surface of water pump cover and IVT cover using a scraper.
Also remove traces of liquid gasket from the mating surface of the front cover.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surface of IVT cover and water pump cover. Use Gen-
uine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and
Sealants".
CAUTION:
• Installation should be done within 5 minutes afte r applying liquid gasket.
• Do not fill the engine with oil for at least 30 minutes after the co mponents are installed to allow
the sealant to cure.
8. Install water drain plug (A) and copper sealing washer (B). CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper sealing washers.
9. Installation of remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. • After installation, refill coolant and check for leaks. Refer to CO-36, "Changing Engine Coolant"
and CO-
35, "System Inspection".
CAUTION:
Do not spill coolant in en gine compartment. Use a sh op cloth to absorb coolant.
• After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to purge air from the high-pressure chamber of the chai n tensioner. The engine may produce a rattling noise.
This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak- age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.
