cooling system capacity, 1997 gmc 5.7 liter engine
What is the operating temperature of the cooling system of a 1997 Ford 460 cu in engine.
on side of thermostat housing there is a bleed screw with engine running slowly open screw you will hear air coming out do not do this when HOT, with cool engine only , when fluid does start to come out tighten screw back in
With an evacuation pump; adequate hand operated models are available at the parts store.
open bleeder on engine by the upper hose outlet.
If you have replaced the relays in your 1997 Toyota RAV 4, the engine cooling fan may not come on when it is supposed to because of a failure in the wiring, the thermostat that sends to the fan, or the fuse for the cooling system.
There is a gold color bleeder screw on the thermostat housing. Open it up and add coolant until the fluid comes out of the bleeder screw with no bubbles. Then just tighten it back up and put the cap on.
Complete cooling system service. Drain, flush, new thermostat, clean exterior of radiator, install 50/50 mix of coolant, bleed air from system, check operation of water pump and cooling fan.
drain it fill it from the thermostat when full close up thermostat then fill top radiator hose and you put that back on if done correct your coolent will sit in the resivor at cold hieght and you should be good to go
If it has bleeder valves then use them to bleed the system, if not, jack up the front of the vehicle as high as possible. Remove the radiator cap and start the engine. Add coolant to keep the system full. This will allow air to escape.
Yes , it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water in the cooling system . The antifreeze in the mixture provides freeze , boiling , and corrosion protection ( the corrosion protection does " wear out " ) The other parts in the engine cooling system , such as the water pump , engine thermostat , engine cooling fan , hoses etcetera also need to be working properly
The cooling system (heater, radiator, engine and hoses) holds aprox 12 qts.
