4-4-3. COOLING SYSTEM
4-4-3-1. DESCRIPTION
The cooling system is of the conventional pressure
type. A centrifugal pump installed in front of the timing
chain cover serves to circulate the coolant
The pressure type radiator filler cap installed on the
radiator operates the cooling system at higher than
atmospheric pressure.
This higher pressure raises the boiling point of the
coolant and increases the cooling efficiency of the
radiator.
When the thermostat is closed, the coolant only
circulates in the cylinder head and block for swift
warming up of the engine. After it reaches normal
operating temperature, the coolant circulates through
the radiator also, to keep the engine at the thermostats
rated opening temperature
(1) COOLANT LEVEL
The radiator coolant level should be checked and
maintained below the bottom of the filler neck when the
engine is cold.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury,
never remove radiator cap quickly
when engine is hot. Sudden release
of cooling system pressure is very
dangerous. If it is necessary to
remove radiator cap when radiator is
hot,
turn
cap
slowly
counterclockwise to the first step.
After all pressure in the cooling
system is released, turn cap past the
stop and remove it.
(2) DRAINING AND FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
To drain cooling system, remove radiator cap, release
drain cock at bottom of radiator and drain plug on right
side of cylinder block. After coolant is drained
completely, close drain cock and plug and refill system
kith clean soft water.
4-4-3-2. WATER PUMP
The water pump is of a centrifugal type, which is
mounted on the engine front. The fan and pulley are
bolted at the pulley hub.
(1) REMOVAL
(1) Drain coolant into a clean container.
(2) Remove upper and lower radiator shrouds (If
equipped).
(3) Remove fan blade.
(4) Loosen fan belt.
(5) Remove water pump assembly and gasket
from cylinder block.
(2) INSTALLATION
(1) Be sure to clean gasket surfaces in contact with
pump and cylinder block
Always use new gaskets when installing pump
assembly. Be sure to tighten bolts securely.
(2) Fill cooling system and check for leaks at pump.
(3) Install fan blade, and tighten attaching bolts securely.
Install belt and adjust for specified tension.
(4) Operate engine at fast Idle and recheck for leaks.
(5) Install fan shroud.
(3) ADJUSTMENT
Fan belt should be properly adjusted at all times. A
tight belt causes wear of alternator and water pump
bearings. A loose belt results in improper operation of
cooling fan, water pump and alternator.
Check for belt deflection between alternator and fan
pulley by a force of 10 kg (22 lb).
Fan belt deflection:
8 to 12 mm (0.31 to 0.47 in)
If adjustment is necessary, loosen bolt holding
alternator adjusting bar to alternator. Move alternator
toward or away from engine until correct tension is
obtained.
