Gylinder Head Removal
NOTE:. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors
carefully whlle holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100'F (38"C)
betore loosening the cylinder head bolts.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.

7.Apply engine oil to the bolt threads and under thebolt heads of all the cylinder head bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39N.m {4.0 kgf.m, 29 lbf.ft). Use a beam-type torquewrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench,be sure to tighten slowly and do not overtighten. lf
a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,
loosen the bolt and retighten it from the first step.
9.After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in twosteps (90" per step). lf you are using a new cylinderhead bolt, tighten the bolt an extra 90..

Radiator Cap Test
1. Remove the radiator cap {A), wet its seal with
engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester(B) (commercially available).
Apply a pressure of 93 '123 kPa {0.95 1.25
kgf/cm', l4 18 psi).
Check for a drop in pressure.
lf the pressure drops, replace the cap.

Wait untilthe engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the top of the filler neck.
Attach the pressure tester (A) (commercially
available) to the radiator.

To test a closed thermostatl
1. Suspend the thermostat (A) in a container of water.
Do not let the thermometer {B) touch the bottom of
the hot container.

Heat the water, and check the temDerature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open.
Measure the lift height of the thermostat when it is
fullv ooen.

Water Pump Inspection
Remove the drive belt (see page 4-26),
Turn the water pump pulley counterclockwise.
Check that it turns freely.
Check for signs of seal leakage. A small amount of"weeping" from the bleed holes (A) is normal.
Water Pump Replacement
1. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-26).
2. Drain the engine coolant {see page 10-6).
3. Remove the crankshaft pulley (see page 6-11).
4. Remove the six bolts securing the water pump,
then remove the water pump (A).
6x1.0mm12 N m {1.2 kgt m,8.7 rbf.ft)
Inspect and clean the O-ring groove and mating
surface with the water passage.
Installthe water pump with new O rings in the
reverse order of removal.
7. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
8. Installthe crankshaft pulley (see page 6-12).
L Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed
air from the cooling system with the heater valve
open {see page 10-6}.

Cooling System
1 . Look at the coolant level in the reserve tank. Make
sure it is between the MAX mark (A) and MIN mark(B),
Goolant Check
lf the coolant level in the reserve tank is at or below
the MIN mark, add coolant to bring it up to the l\4AX
mark, and inspect the cooling system for leaks.

Start the engine. Set the heater temperature control
dial to maximum heat. then turn off the ignition
switch. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool
to the touch.
Remove the radiator cap.
Remove the splash shield (see step 23 on page 5-5).
Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.
Remove the reserve tank drain cap (A), and drain
