INSPECT LOCK PLATE FOR DAMAGE
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 if necessary.
Note
The radiator can only be recaulked twice. After the second time, the radiator core must be replaced.
INSTALL RADIATOR TANK UPPER AND RADIATOR TANK LOWER
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.
Lightly tap the lock plate with a plastic-faced hammer so that there is no gap between the lock plate and the tank.
ASSEMBLE SST
Install the punch assembly to part A of the overhaul handle as shown in the illustration.
While gripping the handle, adjust the stopper bolt so that dimension B is as specified below.
| Dimension B |
|---|
| 10.05 mm (0.396 in.) |
CAULK LOCK PLATE
Lightly press SST against the lock plate in the order shown in the illustration. After repeating this a few times, fully caulk the lock plate by squeezing the handle until stopped by the stopper bolt.
Note
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.
Check the lock plate height H after completing the caulking.
| Standard plate height H |
|---|
| 8.45 mm (0.333 in.) |
If the height is not as specified, readjust the stopper bolt of the handle and caulk the lock plate again.
