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.

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.

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.

3. Thermostat
A: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1) Drain engine coolant.
Set container under the vehicle, and remove drain cock
from radiator.
2) Disconnect radiator outlet hose from thermostat cover.
3) Remove thermostat cover and gasket, and pull out the
thermostat.
G2M0227
4) Install the thermostat in the intake manifold, and install
the thermostat cover together with a gasket.
CAUTION:
When reinstalling the thermostat, use a new gasket.
The thermostat must be installed with the jiggle pin
upward.
In this time, set the jiggle pin of thermostat for front
side.
G2M0215
B: INSPECTION
Replace the thermostat if the valve does not close com-
pletely at an ambient temperature or if the following test
shows unsatisfactory results.
Immerse the thermostat and a thermometer in water. Raise
water temperature gradually, and measure the temperature
and valve lift when the valve begins to open and when the
valve is fully opened. During the test, agitate the water for
even temperature distribution. The measurement should
be to the specification.
Starts to open:
76.0—80.0°C (169—176°F)
Fully opens:
91°C (196°F)
