Inspection INFOID:0000000004784366
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL WARNING:
Use a protector to prevent a burn during the work.
Thermostat • Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat (1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while
stirring.
• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the valve opens and falls from the thread.
• Continue heating. Check the full-open valve lift amount.
• After checking the full-open valve lift amount, lower the water tem- perature and check the valve closing temperature.
• If out of the standard, replace thermostat.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION • Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
• Check for leaks of engine coolant using suitable tools. Refer to CO-11, " Inspection " .
• Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant. PBIC3755E

Precaution for Liquid Gasket
INFOID:0000000004305229
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING • After removing nuts and bolts, separate the mating surface, using Tool and remove old liquid gasket sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
• Tap Tool to insert it (1), and then slide it by tapping on the side (2)
as shown.
• In areas where Tool is difficult to use, use plastic hammer to lightly
tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason suitable tool such as screw-
driver is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE 1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket applica- tion surface and the mating surface, using scraper.
• Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-42, " Recommended Chemical Prod-
uct and Sealant " .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the spec ified location with the specified dimensions.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of service manual.
• Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
• If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten nuts or bolts after the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.
