Removal and InstallationEBS00KON
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant. Refer to CO-9, "Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove the following parts.

RH undercover

Drive belt; Refer to EM-13, "DRIVE BELTS" .

Drive belt auto-tensioner; Refer to EM-14, "Removal and Installation of Drive Belt Auto-Tensioner" .
3. Remove water pump.

Engine coolant will leak from cylinder block, so have a receptacle ready below.
CAUTION:

Handle water pump vane so that it does not contact any other parts.

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
4. Remove water pump housing with the following procedure;
a. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-12, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
b. Remove oil level gauge and oil level gauge guide. Refer to EM-25, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
CAUTION:
Plug the oil level gauge guide opening to prevent oil pan from entering foreign materials.
c. Remove mounting bolts for water pipe.
d. Remove water pump housing.
5. Remove exhaust manifold and three way catalyst assembly. Refer to EM-23, "
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
AND THREE WAY CATALYST" .
6. Remove water pipe.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visually check if there is no significant dirt or rusting on water
pump body and vane.

Make sure that there is no looseness in vane shaft, and that it
turns smoothly when rotated by hand.

Replace water pump, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

When inserting water pipe end into cylinder block, apply a neutral detergent to O-ring. Then insert it imme-
diately.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for engine coolant leaks using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Place a string so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat and
water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with water.
Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows thermo-
stat.)

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.
NOTE:
The full open valve lift amount standard temperature for water
control valve is the reference value.

After checking the full open valve lift amount, lower the water
temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard:

If out of the standard, replace either or both thermostat and water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve

Install thermostat with making rubber ring groove fit to thermo-
stat flange with the whole circumference. (The example in the
figure shows thermostat.)
NOTE:
Same procedure is applied for installation of water control valve.

Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position
deviation may be within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the
figure.)

Install water control valve with the arrow facing up and the frame
center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may be
within the range of 20 degrees as shown in the figure.)
Heater Pipe Installation
Apply a neutral detergent to O-ring, then quickly insert the insertion part of heater pipe into cylinder block.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using a radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool: EG17650301)
and a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-9, "
LEAK CHECK" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid (A/T models).

Precautions For Liquid GasketEBS01276
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating
use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser (special service
tool).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.
