Cooling System Schematic (1) Cylinder head. (2) Water temperature regulator housing. (3) Expansion tank. (4) Shunt line (expansion tank to water pump). (5) Bypass hose. (6) Radiator. (7) Cylinder block. (8) Oil cooler. (9) Water pump.Water pump (9) is located on the right side of the cylinder block. The water pump is driven by a belt that is powered by the crankshaft pulley. Coolant can enter the water pump in three places:
the inlet at the bottom of the water pump
the bypass hose (5) into the top of the water pump
the shunt line (4) into the top of the water pumpCoolant from the bottom of the radiator is pulled into the bottom inlet of the pump by impeller rotation. The coolant exits the back of the pump directly into the oil cooler cavity of the block.All of the coolant passes through the core of the oil cooler and the coolant enters the internal water manifold of the cylinder block. The manifold disperses the coolant to water jackets around the cylinder walls.

Water Lines Group (1) Cylinder head. (2) Water temperature regulator housing. (5) Bypass hose. (9) Water pump. (10) Outlet to radiator. (11) Water temperature regulator. (12) Air vent valve in thermostat.From the cylinder block, the coolant flows into passages in the cylinder head. The passages send the flow around the unit injector sleeves and the inlet and the exhaust passages. The coolant now enters water temperature regulator housing (2) at the front right side of the cylinder head.Water temperature regulator (11) controls the direction of flow. When the coolant temperature is below the normal operating temperature, the water temperature regulator is closed. The coolant is directed through bypass hose (5) and into the top inlet of the water pump. When the coolant temperature reaches the normal operating temperature, water temperature regulator (11) opens. When the water temperature regulator is open, the bypass is closed. Most of the coolant goes through outlet (10) to the radiator for cooling. The remainder flows through bypass hose (5) and into the water pump.Note: Some coolant systems may contain two water temperature regulators.The shunt line (4) extends from the top of the water pump to an expansion tank. The shunt line must be routed properly in order to avoid trapping any air. By providing a constant flow of coolant to the water pump, the shunt line keeps the water pump from cavitation.Note: Water temperature regulator (11) is an important part of the cooling system. The water temperature regulator divides coolant flow between the radiator and the bypass in order to maintain the normal operating temperature. If the water temperature regulator is not installed in the system, there is no mechanical control, and most of the coolant will travel the path of least resistance through the bypass. This will cause the engine to overheat in hot
