Install in the reverse order of removal.
Fill the radiator with coolant.
(Refer to Cooling System - "Coolant")
Start engine and check for leaks.
Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine coolant, then install it no pressure tester.
Apply a pressure of 93.2 ~ 122.6 kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25 kg/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78 psi).
Check for a drop in pressure.
If the pressure drops, replace the cap.
Wait until engine is cool, then carefully remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure tester to the radiator and apply a pressure of 93.2 ~ 122.6 kPa (0.95 ~ 1.25 kg/cm², 13.51 ~ 17.78 psi).
Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
If coolant leak or pressure drop is occur, replace the part.
Check for engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.
