Disassembly
Disassemble oil pump referring to “Oil Pump and Oil 
Pump Chain Components”.

CAUTION

!

 

Do not remove oil pump sprocket or bolt.

Spring (for oil pump) preload
80.38 – 88.22 N (8.04 – 8.82 kg, 58.14 – 63.80 lb) for 
52.0 mm (2.05 in.)

• Radial clearance

Measure clearance of oil pump rotor and oil pump 
case using thickness gauge.
Check radial clearance between outer rotor (2) and 
case (1), using thickness gauge (3).
If clearance exceeds its limit, replace oil pump 
assembly.

Radial clearance between oil pump outer rotor 
and oil pump case
Limit: 0.19 mm (0.0075 in.)

• Side clearance

Using straightedge (5) and thickness gauge (4), 
measure side clearance. If clearance exceeds its limit, 
replace oil pump assembly.

Oil pump side clearance
Limit: 0.11 mm (0.0043 in.)

Engine Cooling System

General Description

Cooling System Description

S6JB0B1601001

The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, 
coolant reservoir, hoses, water pump, cooling fan and 
thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.

Coolant Description

S6JB0B1601002

WARNING

!

 

• Do not remove radiator cap to check 

engine coolant level; check coolant 
visually at the see-through coolant 
reservoir. Coolant should be added only to 
reservoir as necessary.

• As long as there is pressure in the cooling 

system, the temperature can be 
considerably higher than the boiling 
temperature of the solution in the radiator 
without causing the solution to boil. 
Removal of the radiator cap while engine is 
hot and pressure is high will cause the 
solution to boil instantaneously and 
possibly with explosive force, spewing the 
solution over engine, fenders and person 
removing cap. If the solution contains 
flammable anti-freeze such as alcohol (not 
recommended for use at any time), there is 
also the possibility of causing a serious 
fire.

• Check to make sure that engine coolant 

temperature is cold before removing any 
part of cooling system.

• Also be sure to disconnect negative (–) 

cable from battery terminal before 
removing any part.

 

The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in 
the radiator expands with heat, and the coolant is 
overflowed to the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back 
into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled with a quality coolant 
that is a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol 
antifreeze.
This 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing 
protection to –36 

°C (–33 °F).

• Maintain cooling system freeze protection at –36 

°C (–

33 

°F) to ensure protection against corrosion and loss 

of coolant from boiling. This should be done even if 
freezing temperatures are not expected.

• Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to 

be added because of coolant loss or to provide added 
protection against freezing at temperature lower than 
–36 

°C (–33 °F).

NOTE

• Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain 

water alone should not be used in cooling 
system at any time as damage to cooling 
system could occur.

• Coolant must be mixed with deminerated 

water or distilled water.
