INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
CAUTION Avoid adhesion of grease to the rubber ring of the thermostat.
If the rubber ring is damaged, replace the thermostat.
Install the thermostat with care to avoid peeling or damage to the rubber ring. When installing the thermostat, face the jiggle valve of the thermostat upward.

INSPECTION
Thermostat Check
1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value:
Valve opening temperature:
87 +- 1.5ºC (189 +- 3ºF) <2.4L ENGINE>
82 +- 1.5ºC (180 +- 3ºF) <3.0L ENGINE>
2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
NOTE: Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully closed, and use this measurement to compare the valve height when the thermostat is fully open.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature: 95ºC (203ºF)
Amount of valve lift:
8.5 mm (0.335 inch) or more <2.4L ENGINE>
9.0 mm (0.354 inch) or more <3.0L ENGINE>
