Removal and Installation
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from highpressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release builtup pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: - Perform this step when engine is cold.
- Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
NOTE: Engine coolant will leak from cylinder block, so have a receptacle ready below.

CAUTION: Do not reuse rubber ring.
Water Inlet After installation, attach the water inlet clip (A) on the oil level gauge guide (1) positioned at location (B) as shown.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
NOTE: If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
