(c) Check the valve lift.
Valve lift:
8.5 mm (0.335 in.) or more at 95˚C (203˚F)
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
(d) Check that the valve spring is tight when the thermostat is
fully closed.
If not closed, replace the thermostat.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
1. PLACE THERMOSTAT IN WATER INLET
(a) Install a new gasket to the thermostat.
(b) Align the jiggle valve of the thermostat with the protrusion of
the water inlet.
2. INSTALL WATER INLET
(a) Install the water inlet with the 2 nuts.
Torque:
2JZ–GE
8.8 N·m (90 kgf·cm, 78 in.·lbf)
2JZ–GTE
21 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
(b) 2JZ–GTE:
Connect the lower radiator hose to the radiator.
3. 2JZ–GTE:
INSTALL ENGINE UNDER COVER
4. FILL WITH ENGINE COOLANT
5. START ENGINE AND CHECK FOR COOLANT LEAKS

RADIATOR
RADIATOR CLEANING
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful not
to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner nozzle
pressure is 2,942–3,432 kPa (30–35 kgf/cm2, 427–498 psi), keep
a distance of at least 40 cm (15.75 in.) between the radiator core
and cleaner nozzle.

RADIATOR INSPECTION
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
