System Notes — COOLING SYSTEM

The cooling system covers the radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan and fan drive, coolant hoses, clamps, the surge tank and the belts that drive it. It holds engine temperature inside the range where clearances and oil film stay correct. Failures are usually slow and then sudden: a hose softens and balloons before it bursts, a water pump seal starts weeping from the weep hole, a thermostat sticks partly open so the engine runs cold and burns more fuel. On construction sites the radiator also packs with dust and debris, which raises pressure across the core and finds the weakest hose or clamp first.

System Notes — LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The lubrication system covers the oil pump, oil cooler, oil filter base, relief valves, dipstick tube, pan and the galleries that distribute oil to every bearing in the engine. It is the system that keeps metal off metal. Failures tend to be either pressure loss — a worn pump, a stuck relief valve, a collapsed filter — or contamination, where sludge and debris circulate and score bearing surfaces. Oil pressure that reads low at idle, a filter that comes out heavy, or oil that turns dark far sooner than usual are the signals. Parts in this group are replaced on measured oil pressure and lab results rather than on interval alone.
