    1. Install a new gasket to the thermostat.

    2. A01BCZPE01

      Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve upward.

      Tech Tips

      The jiggle valve may be set within 10° of either side of the prescribed position.

  2. INSTALL WATER INLET


    1. Install a new gasket and the water inlet with the bolt and 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      20 N*m  { 204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSTALL VANE PUMP ASSEMBLY


    1. A01BEMHE01

      Install the vane pump with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      21 N*m  { 214 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf }

    2. Connect the PS fluid pressure switch connector.

  4. INSTALL FAN & GENERATOR V BELT

    A01BH2EE02

    1. Install the drive belt to the pulleys except the drive belt tensioner pulley.

    2. Use the hexagon-shaped part indicated by the arrow in the illustration to move the tensioner pulley downward and then install the drive belt to the tensioner pulley.

      Note


      • The backside of the drive belt should face the tensioner pulley.

      • Check that the drive belt is properly set to each pulley.

    3. A01BENJE02

      After a new belt has been installed, check that the tensioner indicator mark is within range A shown in the illustration.

  5. INSTALL ENGINE SERVICE HOLE SUB COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the engine service hole sub cover with the 5 bolts.

      Torque:
      13 N*m  { 133 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

  9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

  10. ADD ENGINE COOLANT


    1. Firmly tighten the drain plugs and fill the reservoir tank with coolant to the top of the inlet.

    2. Remove the 2-way that is located near the throttle body.

    3. When air is bled and the coolant drains out, firmly install the 2-way.

    4. Add coolant up to the B line mark in the reservoir tank and install the radiator cap.

      Coolant Capacity
      Condition Capacity
      w/ front and rear heaters 13.6 liters (14.4 US qts, 12.0 lmp. qts)
      w/ front heater 11.6 liters (12.3 US qts, 10.2 lmp. qts)
      w/o heater 10.6 liters (11.2 US qts, 9.3 lmp. qts)

    5. Warm up the engine.

    6. After the engine cools down, check that the coolant level is between the LOW and FULL level marks.

  11. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS

    CAUTION:

    Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.


    1. Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester to the radiator.

    2. Warm up the engine.

    3. Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 137 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2, 19.9 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.

      Tech Tips

      If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator or water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and cylinder head.

  12. INSTALL ENGINE UNDER COVER NO.1
