• Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat

(1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while
stirring.

• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the

valve opens and falls from the thread.

• Continue heating. Check the full open valve lift amount.
• After checking the maximum valve lift amount, lower the water

temperature and check the valve closing temperature. 

• If out of the standard, replace thermostat.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
• Check for leaks of engine coolant using the adapter and the reservoir tank cap tester [SST: — (M.S. 554-07).

Refer to 

CO-9, "Inspection"

.

• Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.
