CHECKING ENGINE OIL FOR LEAKS
Check cylinder head. front chain cover, oil pan,
rocker cover, oil filter gasket, etc. or other parts for sign
of leaks past their gasketed surfaces. If necessary,
replace gaskets or damaged parts. After maintenance
has been done, check the replaced parts for any leaks.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
Scale or sediment accumulated in water jacket or
radiator harms heat radiation. Thoroughly flush the
system after opening the two drain plugs, (one at the
bottom of the radiator and the other at the right side of
the cylinder block), until clean water comes out.
Always use clean soft water in the radiator. When the
cold season arrives. the cooling system should be
protected against freezing by a good anti-freeze solution
such as TCM LONG LIFE COOLANT.
To allow for expansion when hot the level, (when
cold) should be visible Just below the filler neck. Do not
overfill the system. This coolant (L L.C.) should be
changed every recommended interval.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT (L.L.C.)
L L.C. is an ethylene glycol base product containing
chemical inhibitors to protect the cooling system from
rusting and corrosion. The L.L.C. does not contain any
glycerine, ethyl or methyl alcohol. It will not evaporate or
boil away and can be used with either a high or low
temperature thermostat. It flows freely, transfers heat
efficiently, and will not clog the passages in the cooling
system. The L.L.C. must not be mixed with other
products. This coolant can be used throughout the
seasons of the year.
Whenever any coolant is changed, the cooling system
should be flushed and refilled with new coolant. Check
the level.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES AND
CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS
Check cooling system hoses and fittings for loose
connections and deterioration. Retighten or replace as
necessary.
(1)
Inspection of radiator cap
Apply reference pressure [0.9 kg/cm2 (13 psi)] to
radiator cap by means of a cap tester to see if it is in
good condition. Replace cap assembly if necessary.
(2)
Cooling system pressure test
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap abruptly while the
engine is hot.. Turn the cap a little to the left to
relieve the pressure in the radiator, then remove the
cap. Do not wear gloves when removing radiator
cap, a clean thick cloth is recommended.
With radiator cap removed, apply reference pressure
11.6 kg/cm (23 psi)l to the cooling system by means of a
tester to check for leaks of the system components.

4-1-3-6 CRANKCASE
EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
(1)
DESCRIPTION
This system is designed to send blow-by gases back
to the combustion chamber for reburning, and at the
same time to send filtered air into the crankcase for
ventilation. Thus, this system serves to prevent the
emission of blow-by gases into the atmosphere.
