Step 02

Slide the pin on the end of the Hot Water Pipe through the rectangular hole of the Timing Chain Case at the front of the engine, towards the back, and into the hole at the front of the Hot Water Manifold, as shown:

Step 03

Fit the Thermostat Fixed to the Thermostat matching the locating pin to the alignment hole as shown, and secure these together with one (1) GP screw:

Press the silver Seal Cap G, as well as the yellow Seal Cap H and Seal Cap I, onto the matching posts of the Thermostat assembly, as shown:
