INSPECT LOCK PLATE FOR DAMAGE
| *1 | Core |
| *a | Lock Plate |
Inspect the lock plate for damage.
If the sides of the lock plate groove are deformed, reassembly of the tank will be impossible. Correct any deformations with pliers.
Water will leak if the bottom of the lock plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace it as necessary.
Note
The radiator can only be recaulked twice. After the second time, the radiator core must be replaced.
INSTALL UPPER RADIATOR TANK
| *1 | O-Ring |
| *a | CORRECT |
| *b | INCORRECT |
| *c | Normal |
| *d | Twisted |
Check that there are no foreign objects in the lock plate groove, and install a new O-ring. Make sure the O-ring is not twisted.
Tech Tips
When cleaning the lock plate groove, lightly rub it with sandpaper without scratching it.
Install the tank without damaging the O-ring.
| *1 | Tank |
| *a | Lock Plate |
| *b | CORRECT |
| *c | INCORRECT |
Lightly tap the lock plate with a plastic-faced hammer so that there is no gap between the lock plate and the tank.
INSTALL LOWER RADIATOR TANK
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure described for the upper radiator tank.
ASSEMBLE SST
| *a | Part A |
| *b | Stopper Bolt |
| *c | Dimension B |
Install the punch assembly to part A of the overhaul handle as shown in the illustration.
While squeezing the handle, adjust the stopper bolt so that dimension B is as specified below.
| Dimension B |
|---|
| 8.4 mm (0.331 in.) |
CAULK LOCK PLATE
| *a | Stopper Bolt |
| *b | Tank |
| *c | Lock Plate |
Lightly press SST and pliers against the lock plate in the order shown in the illustration. Repeat this step a few times, and then fully caulk the lock plate by squeezing the handle until stopped by the stopper bolt.
Note
Do not press the protruding areas around the ports.
Do not use SST to press the areas indicated by the circle marks in the illustration. Use pliers and be careful not to damage the core plates.
| *a | Lock Plate Height |
Check the lock plate height after completing the caulking.
| Standard plate height |
|---|
| 8.6 mm (0.333 in.) |
If the height is not as specified, readjust the stopper bolt of the handle and caulk the lock plate again.
