The
Cooling System |
|
|
When Summer Time is here, that means the
Cooling System in your Toyota will be working overtime. Therefore,
it is important to maintain your engine at the optimum operating
temperature by keeping your Cooling System in TIP-TOP SHAPE. |

BASIC MAINTENANCE
INCLUDES: |
|
|
- RADIATOR CAP: Check for
worn or broken seals. A 12-lbs. cap is usually sufficient.
- THERMOSTAT: Check to see if
it is stuck in the closed position. Incorrect operation could lead
to blown head gaskets and/or a cracked head and block.
- WATER PUMP: Check for
leaks.
- BELTS: Check for cracks or
glossy shine from slipping.
- HOSES: Check for cracks,
leaks, or collapsed hoses.
- COOLANT MIXTURE: A
water/antifreeze mixture of 50/50 is the general recommendation although
depending on climate and vehicle operation a variation of this ratio is
acceptable.

OPTIONS: |
|
|
|
Since these motors
do not carry a large amount of coolant, you may want to consider taking
steps to increase the cooling efficiencies. |
|
|
- HEAVY-DUTY RADIATORS use additional cooling fins will
dissipate the heat of the returning coolant faster to allow for better
engine cooling.
- OIL COOLERS are also a good option for extracting additional
heat from the motor.
- FLEX FANS pull additional air through the radiator at low RPM
when the speed of the vehicle is not enough to cool the engine's coolant
system.
