2.7.1 Oil Cooler - Inspect
Check the oil passages of element for flaws or cracks by
applying compressed air of 1.5 MPa {15 kgf/cm
2
} [217 psi].
If any leakage or damage is found, replace the element with
a new one.

(2) Heat the water while measuring water temperature.
Record the temperature at which valve start to open,
and at which valve lift becomes to the standard value.
Replace the thermostat if a deviation from the standard
temperature is unusual.
Note:(a) Stir the water to maintain uniform temperature dur-
ing the test.
(b) At assembling, be sure to check the valve opening
