Refer to Overheating Causes in addition to the following items
(1) Overfilled cooling system.
(2) Quick shutdown after hard (hot >
run.
(3) Air in system resulting in occasion-
al "burping" of coolant.
(4 ) Insufficient antifreeze allowing cool-
ant boiling point to be too low.
(5> Antifreeze deteriorated because of
age or contamination.
(6) Leaks due to loose hose clamps,
loose nuts, bolts, drain plugs, faulty
hoses, or defective radiator
(1) Reduce coolant level to proper
specification
(2) Allow engine to run at fast idle pri-
or to shutdown.
(3) Purge system.
(4) Add antifreeze to raise
boiling
point.
(5) Replace coolant.
(6) Pressure test system to locate
source of leak(s) then repair as
necessary.
N O T E : Immediately after shutdown, the engine enters a condition known as heat soak. This is caused by the cooling systet
being inoperative while engine temperature is still high. If coolant temperature rises above boiling point, expansion an
pressure may push some coolant out of the radiator overflow tube. If this does not occur frequently it is considered normal
