| 5. INSTALL FRONT NO. 3 ENGINE UNDER COVER |
Install the front No. 3 engine under cover with the 4 clips.
| 6. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY |
![]() |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
| Minimum | 38.5 mm (1.52 in.) |
Fully insert a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
![]() |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the new gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *3 | Wooden Block |
Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
| 7. ADD COOLANT (for Engine w/ Exhaust Heat Recirculation System) |
Tighten the radiator drain cock plug.
![]() |
Add coolant to B line of the reserve tank.
| *1 | B Line |
| Item | Capacity |
| Engine coolant | w/ Exhaust Heat Recirculation System: 6.9 liters (7.3 US qts, 6.1 lmp. qts) |
| w/o Exhaust Heat Recirculation System: 6.5 liters (6.9 US qts, 5.7 lmp. qts) |
Squeeze the radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.
If the coolant level is low, add coolant.
Put the engine in inspection mode (Click here).
Install the reserve tank cap.
Bleed air from the cooling system.
Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, allow the coolant to circulate for several minutes. (●1)
Stop the engine and wait until the coolant cools down. Then if the coolant level is below the low line, add coolant so that the level will be between the full and low lines. (●2)
Repeat the steps from (●1) to (●2) until the coolant level of the reserve tank remains above the low line.
![]() |
After the engine has cooled down, check that the coolant level is between the full and low lines.
| *1 | Full Line |
| *2 | Low Line |
| 8. INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK (for Engine w/ Exhaust Heat Recirculation System) |
Remove the reserve tank cap.
![]() |
Fill the reserve tank with coolant, and then attach a radiator cap tester.
Put the engine in inspection mode (Click here).
Warm up the engine.
Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 108 kPa (1.1 kgf/cm2, 16 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop. If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator, front exhaust pipe assembly, the heater hose around the engine coolant temperature sensor and engine water pump assembly for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and cylinder head.
Remove the radiator cap tester.
Install the reserve tank cap.
