Inspection and Repair

Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if excessive wear or damage is discovered
during inspection.

Radiator Cap

Measure the valve opening pressure of the pressurizing valve
with a radiator filler cap tester.
Replace the cap if the valve opening pressure is outside the
standard range.

Valve opening pressure kPa (psi) 93.3

Cap tester: 5–8840–0277–0
Adapter: 5–8840–2603–0
Check the condition of the vacuum valve in the center of the
valve seat side of the cap. If considerable rust or dirt is found,
or if the valve seat cannot be moved by hand, clean or replace
the cap.

Radiator Core

1. A bent fin may result in reduced ventilation and overheating

may occur. All bent fins must be straightened. Pay close

attention to the base of the fin when it is being straightened.

2. Remove all dust, bugs and other foreign material.

Flushing the Radiator

Thoroughly wash the inside of the radiator and the engine
coolant passages with cold water and mild detergent. Remove
all signs of scale and rust.

Cooling System Leakage Check

Use a radiator cap tester to force air into the radiator through
the filler neck at the specified pressure of 196 kPa (28.5 psi)
with a cap tester:
• Leakage from the radiator
• Leakage from the coolant pump
• Leakage from the water hoses

• Check the rubber hoses for swelling.

Installation

1. Install radiator assembly (9) with hose, taking care not to

damage the radiator core with a fan blade.

2. Support the radiator upper tank with the bracket (5) and

secure the radiator.

3. Connect reserve tank hose (6).

4. Install lower fan guide (3).

5. Connect radiator inlet hose and outlet hose (1) to the

engine.

8. Pour engine coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and up to

MAX mark of reserve tank.

Important operation (in case of 100% engine coolant

change) procedure for filling with engine coolant.

Engine coolant change
