3) Fill engine coolant into reservoir tank up to upper level.
4) Attach radiator cap and reservoir tank cap properly.
5) Install air vent plug.
6) Warm-up engine completely for more than five minutes
at 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
7) Stop engine and wait until temperature drops to a safe
level.
8) If engine coolant level drops in radiator, add engine
coolant to filler neck position.
9) If engine coolant level drops from upper level of reser-
voir tank, add engine coolant to upper level.
10) Attach radiator cap and reservoir tank cap properly.
B2M0136
C: CHECKING OF COOLING SYSTEM
1) Remove radiator cap, top off radiator, and attach tester
to radiator in place of cap.
2) Apply a pressure of 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi) to
radiator to check if:
(1) Engine coolant leaks at/around radiator.
(2) Engine coolant leaks at/around hoses or connec-
tions.
CAUTION:
Engine should be off.
Wipe engine coolant from check points in advance.
Be careful to prevent engine coolant from spurting
out when removing tester.
Be careful also not to deform filler neck of radiator
when installing or removing tester.

12) Remove tensioner bracket.
13) Disconnect heater hose from engine coolant pump.
14) Remove engine coolant pump.
B: INSPECTION
1) Check engine coolant pump bearing for smooth rota-
tion.
2) Check engine coolant pump pulley for abnormalities.
G2M0211
3) Using a dial gauge, measure impeller runout in thrust
direction while rotating the pulley.
“Thrust”runout limit:
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
G2M0212
4) Check clearance between impeller and pump case.
Clearance between impeller and pump case:
Standard
0.5—0.7 mm (0.020—0.028 in)
Limit
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
5) After engine coolant pump installation, check pulley
shaft for engine coolant leaks. If leaks are noted, replace
engine coolant pump assembly.
