GENERAL

The

cooling
system
is

pressurised
and

incorporates
a

water

pump
corrugated
fin

type
radiator
fan
and
a

pellet
type

thermostat

The
water

pump
is
of
the
centrifugal
type
and
has
an

aluminium
die
cast

body
The
volute
chamber
is
built
into

the

front
cover

assembly
and
a

high
pressure
sealing
mechanism

prevents
water

leakage
and
noise

The
fan

pulley
is
driven

by
the
V
belt
from
a

pulley
on

the
crankshaft

he

pellct
type
thermostat
enables
the

engine
to
warm

up

rapidlY
and
also

regulates
the

temperature
of
the
coolant
When

the
wax

pellet
in
the
thermostat
is
heated
it

expands
and
exerts

pressure
against
a
rubber

diaphragm
causing
the
valve
to

open

and
allow
the
coolant
to
flow
from
the

cylinder
head
back
to

the
radiator

As
the

pellet
is

cooled
itcontractsand
allows
the

spring
to

close
the
valve

thereby
preventing
coolant
from

leaving
the

cylinder
head

The
rad
ator
is
of
the
down

flow
type
with
an

expansion

tank
The
relIef
valve
in
the
radiator
filler

cap
controls
the

pressure
at

approximately
0
9

kg
sq
cm

l3Ib
sq
in
Always

try
to
avoid

removing
the
filler

cap
when
the

engine
is
hot
as

coolant

may
spray
out
and
cause

scalding

If
the

cap
must
be
removed
in
these
circumstances
use
a

lar
e

pic
c
of
cloth
to
hold
the

cap
and
turn

the
cap
sli

htlY

Walt
until
all

pressure
has

been
released
before

lifting
off
the

cap

F
AN
BELT
TENSION

The
fan
belt
drives
the
water

pump
and
alternator
as

well

as

the
fan
and
its
correct

adjustment
is
most

essential
A
loose

fan

belt
will

sl
ip
and

Y
e
r

and
most

probably
cause

overheating

alternatively
If
the
belt
IS
too

tight
the
pump
and
alternator

bearings
will
be
overloaded

The
belt
is

correctly
tensioned
if
it
can
be
depressed

by

approximately
10
mm

1
2
in
at
a

point
midway
between
the

fan
and
alternator
pulleys
See

Fig
R2

If

adjustment
is
neces

ary
slacken
the
alternator

mounting

and

adjustment
bolts
and

pivot
the
alternator

away
from
the

engine
to

tighten
the
belt
to

towards
the

engine
if

the
belt

is

to
be
slackened

NOTE

Always
apply
leverage
to
the
drive
end

housing
when

pivoting
the
alternator
and
never
to
the
diode
end

housing
or
the
alternator
will
be

damaged
Retighten
the
alternator
bolts
and
make
SUfe

that
the
belt

is

correctly
tensioned

FLUSHING
AND
DRAINING
THE
SYSTEM

The
radiator
and
water

passages
should
be
flushed
out

periodically
to
remove
the
accumulated
scale
or
sediment

Reverse

flushing
equipment
should
be
used
to

carry
out
a

completely
thorough
flushing
operation
but
the
owner
drivef

not

possessing
this

type
of

equipment
can
flush
out
the

system

in

the
following
manner

Drain
the
system
by
removing
the
radiator
filler

cap
and

opening
the
radiator
and

cylinder
block
drain

taps
Close
the

taps
again
and
refill
the
radiator
Run

the
engine
for
a
ShOft

period
and
then
rc
open

the
drain
taps
Continue
this

sequence

until
the
water

flowing
from
the

taps
is
clean
then
close
the

taps

and
refill
the
radiator

An
anti

should

always
be
used
in
Winter

The
Niss3n

is
an

ethylene

containing
a
corrosion

preventative
which
can
remain

in
the
vehicle

throughout
the
year
but
must
not

be
mixed
with

other

products

It
is
advisable
to
check
the

when

filling

renew

them
if

are

apparent

WATER

may
be
caused

by
the

entry

See

19niton

timing
is

automatically
regulated
by
the
distributor

centrifugal
advance
mechanism
or
vacuum
advance
mechanism

depending
upon
the

demand
made
on

the
engine

The
vacuum
advance
mechanism

operates
under
part

throttle

only
and
uses
intake
manifold

depression
to
advance
the

ignition
timing
When
the

engine
speed
is
increased
the
vacuum

is

inoperative
and
ignition
timing
is

regulated
by
the

centrifugal

advance
mechanism

The

centrifugal
advance
mechanism
uses
a

system
of

governor
weights
and

springs
which
turn
the
carn

assembly
in
on

anti
clockwise
direction
to

advance
the

ignition
timing
As
the

engine
speed
is
decreased
the

weights
move
back
and
allow
the

cam
to
return

thereby
retarding
the

ignition
timing

The

ignition
coil
is
an
oil
filled
unit

comprising
a
coil

around
which
is
wound
the

secondary
and

primary
windings
The

number
of
turns
in
the

primary
winding
provide
a

high
secondary

voltage
throughout
the

speed
range
The
resistor
is
automatically

by
passed
at
the
moment
of

starting
and
allows
the

ignition

coil
to

be

directly
connected
to

the

battery
This
applies
the

full

battery
voltage
to
the

coil
to

give
the

necessary
staTting

boost

When
the
starter
switch
is
released
the
current
flows
through

the
resistor
and
the

voltage
through
the
coil
is

dropped
for

normal

running
purposes

IGNITION
TIMING

The

ignition
timing
can

be

accurately
checked

using
a

stroboscopic
timing
light
which
should
be
connected
in
accor

dance
with
the
manufacturers
instructions

Make
sure
that
the

timing
marks
on
the
crankshaft

pulley

are
visible
if

they
are
not
visible
mark

them
with
chalk

or

white

paint
Each
mark

represents
a
50
division
of
the
crank

angle

Disconnect
the
distributor
vacuum

line
start

the

engine

and
allow
it
to
run
at
normal

idling
speed
or

slightly
below

Point
the

timing
light
at
the

timing
pointer
on
the
front
cover

Fig

The
crankshaft

pulley
groove
should

appear

to

be

stationery
and

aligned
with
the

pointer
on
the
front
cover

The

top
dead
centre
mark
is
located
at
the
extreme

right
as

shown
in
the
illustration
If
the

setting
requires
adjustment
the

distributor

flange
bolts
must
be
slackened
and
the
distributor

body
turned
clockwise
to
advance
or
anti
clockwise
to
retard

the

timing
See
Technical
Data
for

timing
settings

After

adjusting
the

timing
tighten
the
distributor

flange

bolts
and
recheck
the

timing

IGNITION
DISTRIBUTOR
Maintenance

Remove
the
distributor

cap
by
easing
away
the
two

clamps

and
examine
the

points
for

signs
of

burning
or

pitting
The

points
can
be
cleaned
if

necessary
using
a
fine

grade
of
oilstone

or
file
The
faces
of
the

points
must
be

completely
flat
and

parallel
and
all
abrasive
dust
removed
with

compressed
air
If

the

points
are

excessively
pitted
they
must

be
renewed
and

grease

applied
to
the

moving
contact

pivot
and
the
surface
of

the
cam

Ensure
that
the
distributor

cap
is

thoroughly
clean
both
inside

and
outside
A

contaminated
