- Radiator
- Coolant pump
The cooling system employed is the bypass type. When the engine is cold the thermostat closes off coolant feed from the radiator bottom hose. Coolant is drawn via the heater matrix from the cylinder block, this allows some heat transfer to the radiator via the top hose by convection while retaining the majority of the heat within the cylinder block.
