CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking Radiator BBS004X2
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.

When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and electrical connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.

Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

To prevent the risk of hose coming undone while under
pressure, securely fasten it down with hose clamp.
CAUTION:
Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler or CVT fluid cooler to seal its
inlet and outlet.
2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with
the testing pressure applied.Standard height “H” : 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 in)

13. Remove timing chain tensioner (primary) as follows:
a. Remove lower mounting bolt.
b. Loosen upper mounting bolt slowly, and then turn timing chain
tensioner (primary) on the mounting bolt so that plunger is fully
expanded.
NOTE:
Even if plunger is fully expanded, it is not dropped from the body
of timing chain tensioner (primary).
c. Remove upper mounting bolt, and then remove timing chain ten-
sioner (primary).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop mounting bolts inside timing chain
case.
14. Remove water pump as follows:
a. Remove three water pump mounting bolts. Secure a gap
between water pump gear and timing chain, by turning crank-
shaft pulley counterclockwise until timing chain looseness on
water pump sprocket becomes maximum.
b. Screw M8 bolts [pitch: 1.25 mm (0.049 in) length: Approx. 50
mm (1.97 in)] into water pumps upper and lower mounting bolt
holes until they reach timing chain case. Then, alternately
tighten each bolt for a half turn, and pull out water pump.
CAUTION:

Pull straight out while preventing vane from contacting
socket in installation area.

Remove water pump without causing sprocket to contact
timing chain.
c. Remove M8 bolts and O-rings from water pump.
CAUTION:

WATER PUMP


Check for rough operation due to excessive end play.

Replace water pump, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new O-rings to water pump.

Apply engine oil and engine coolant to O-rings as shown in
the figure.

Locate O-ring with white paint mark to engine front side.
2. Install water pump.
CAUTION:
Do not allow timing chain case to nip O-rings when install-
ing water pump.

Make sure that timing chain and water pump sprocket are
engaged.

Insert water pump by tightening mounting bolts alternately
and evenly.
3. Install the timing chain tensioner (primary) with the following procedure:
a. Pull plunger stopper tab up (or turn lever downward) so as to
remove plunger stopper tab from the ratchet of plunger.
NOTE:
Plunger stopper tab and lever are synchronized.
b. Push plunger into the inside of tensioner body.
c. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging
plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.
d. To secure lever, insert stopper pin through hole of lever into ten-
sioner body hole.

The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.
NOTE:
Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.
