The cooling system maintains an efficient engine temperature
level during all engine operating conditions.
The cooling system consists of the following components:
• | An engine cooling fan and clutch |
• | A thermostat and housing |
The water pump draws coolant from the radiator and circulates
the coolant through coolant jackets in the engine cylinder block and the cylinder
heads. The coolant is then directed back to the radiator.
The system directs some coolant through hoses to the heater core in
order to provide for defrost and passenger compartment heat. A surge tank
connects to the cooling system. Pressurized coolant continuously flows through
the surge tank.
