Referring

the water
pump.
which
is
a
centrifugal
pump
driven by cooling-fan belt.
The pump
draws
coolant from
the lower
tank section of
ra
diator
(4) and forwards
it to the
water inlet
of crankcase (7).
Upon entering the middle
section
of
the
crankcase
,
coolant flows
in
the
jac:k-et
to
cool the
cylinders:
lhen
it
rises
into
jacket
(5)
of cylinder
head
(6)
to
cool the
combustion
chambers and areas around
the
intake and
exhaust valves
.
From the
forward end of
the cylinder
head.
the
coolant
I
now hot because
it
has
taken
as
much
heat"
it
can, flows into
th
e
inlet of
thermo,ta
t (1).
The thcnnos-tat
,
responding
to coolant
temperature,
controls
the
now
of
coolant toward
the
radia
tor
upper
tank.
When
coolant
temperatwe
is
low
as
when the
enginl! has
just been started
up
from
cold
state,
the
thermostat valve
remains
closed
and aU
of the
coolant
is
diverted back to
the
water
pump
inlet through bypass
hose (3)
:
under
this
condition, radJ.tor (4)
is
bypassed
by
the
c:oolnnt.
As
the
nsing
coolant temperature reaches 76.S
o
C
(I69.7'F),
the
thermostat
valve
begins to open increas-

and
the
