Internal Engine Coolant Flow, All Applications

CAUTION  Never operate the engine without a thermostat. Without a thermostat, the coolant will not flow to the radiator, and the engine will overheat.

NOTE: The thermostat flow shown is not for QSL9 keel cooled engines. On QSL9 keel cooled marine engines, the thermostat is located in the keel cooled thermostat housing. See flow diagram below.

1. Coolant inlet from radiator
2. Water pump suction
3. Coolant flow through lubricating oil cooler
4. Block lower water manifold (to cylinders)
5. Coolant filter inlet (optional)
6. Coolant filter outlet (optional)
7. Coolant supply to cylinder head
8. Coolant return from cylinder head
9. Block upper water manifold
10. Thermostat bypass
11. Coolant return to radiator
