GENERAL INFORMATION
General Cooling System Servicing
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
The following article is for general information only.
Information may not apply to all years, makes and models. See specific
article in the ENGINE COOLING section.
DESCRIPTION
The basic liquid cooling system consists of a radiator, water
pump, thermostat, electric or belt-driven cooling fan, pressure cap,
heater, and various connecting hoses and cooling passages in the block
and cylinder head.
MAINTENANCE
DRAINING
Remove radiator cap and open heater control valve to maximum
heat position. Open drain cocks or remove plugs in bottom of radiator
and engine block. In-line engines usually have one plug or drain cock,
while "V" type engines will have 2, one in each bank of cylinders.
CLEANING
A good cleaning compound removes most rust and scale. Follow
manufacturer's instructions in the use of cleaner. If considerable
rust and scale has to be removed, cooling system should be flushed.
Clean radiator air passages with compressed air.
FLUSHING
CAUTION: Some manufacturers use an aluminum and plastic radiator.
Flushing solution must be compatible with aluminum.
Back Flushing
Back flushing is an effective means of removing cooling
system rust and scale. The radiator, engine and heater core should be
flushed separately.
Radiator
To flush radiator, connect flushing gun to water outlet of
radiator and disconnect water inlet hose. To prevent flooding engine,
use a hose connected to radiator inlet. Use air in short bursts to
prevent damage to radiator. Continue flushing until water runs clear.
Engine
To flush engine, remove thermostat and replace housing.
Connect flushing gun to water outlet of engine. Flush using short air
bursts until water runs clean.
Heater Core
Flush heater core as described for radiator. Ensure heater
control valve is set to maximum heat position before flushing heater.

2) Install positive lead of digital voltmeter to terminal "B"
and negative lead to positive battery terminal. Install a tachometer
and reconnect negative battery cable.
3) Start and operate engine at 2500 RPM. Turn accessories on
and adjust engine speed until ammeter indicates slightly greater than
30 amps, and note voltmeter reading. If voltmeter indicates .3 volt or
less, system is okay.
4) If voltage is greater than .3 volt, check wiring between
generator terminal "B", fusible link and positive battery terminal. If
terminal is not sufficiently tight or if harness is discolored due to
overheating, repair as necessary and retest.
Page 782 of 1501

GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST
NOTE: A slightly discharged battery should be used, as a fully
charged battery may not allow full generator output.
1) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable.
Disconnect generator output wire from terminal "B". Connect positive
lead of 100-amp ammeter to terminal "B" and negative lead to
disconnected output lead.
CAUTION: Tighten each connection securely, as heavy current flow will
exist. DO NOT use clips on ammeter. An inductive-type
ammeter is recommended.
2) Connect positive voltmeter lead (0-20 volts) to generator\
terminal "B" and negative lead to ground. Install a tachometer and
reconnect negative battery cable.
3) Ensure voltmeter indicates battery voltage. If voltage is
not present, check for open circuit in wire between generator terminal
"B" and positive battery terminal. Check grounds and fusible link.
4) Start engine and turn headlights on. Set headlights at
high beam and heater blower switch on HIGH. Increase engine speed to
2500 RPM and note generator output current on ammeter. Minimum output
should be within specification. See
GENERATOR MINIMUM OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS table.
NOTE: Output voltage changes with electrical load and temperature.
Ensure proper electrical load is applied while checking
output. Nominal output may not be obtained if generator or
ambient temperature is excessive. Allow generator or
temperature to cool, and recheck output. Generator output is
stamped on metal plate attached to generator case.
5) If minimum output is not obtained and generator wiring is
okay, repair generator. Operate engine at idle speed after the test.
