3. Thermostat

Inspection

Valve lift, mm (in.)

(1) Remove the thermostat from the engine.

8 (0.31)
(2) Hang the thermostat in the jar of water, as shown in the
illustration. Thermostat must be below the surface of
0 76.51.5 90
the water and it must be away from the sides of the jar. (1702.7) (194)

(3) Heat the water uniformly in the jar and measure a Temperature, C (F)

temperature at which the valve starts opening and a

temperature at which the valve lift is more than 9 mm
[0.35 in.]. If the valve does not start opening at the
correct temperature, or if it does not open to correct
lift, replace the thermostat. Testing thermostat

Item Assembly Standard

Temperature at which valve 76.51.5 C
starts opening (1702.7 F)
Temperature at which valve lift
90 C (194 F)
is more than 8 mm (0.31 in.)

NOTE
(1) Stir the water in the jar with a stick to maintain its
temperature uniform during test.
(2) Install the thermostat with its air vent hole up.
