(9) Position the generator to
gain access to thermostat housing and housing bolts.
(10) Remove thermostat housing mounting bolts.
(11) Remove the thermostat housing, thermostat, inner
and outer seals and lift bracket (Fig. 52).
(12) Clean the mating surfaces of the thermostat housing
and the cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the outer seal (Figs. 52 or
54) into the machined shoulder on the thermostat housing.
(2) Install the thermostat into the machined
shoulder next to the outer seal. Note direction of thermostat in figures
52 and 54.
(3) Position the inner thermostat seal with the
shoulder towards the thermostat housing (Fig. 54).
(4) install thermostat, lift bracket, seals and housing

COOLANT
General Information
The cooling system is designed
around the coolant. Coolant flows through, the engine water jacket absorbing
heat produced during engine operation. The coolant carries the heat to
radiator and heater core. Here it is transferred to the ambient air passing
through the radiator and heater core fins. The coolant also removes heat
from the automatic transmission fluid in vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission.
Coolant Performance
The required ethylene-glycol
(antifreeze) and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water - Water can absorb more heat
than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for purpose of heat
transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
