IntroductIon

OUf
intention
in

writing
this
Manual
is
to

provide
the

reader
with

all
the
data
and
in

formation

required
to
maintain
and

repair
the
vehicle
However
it
must
be
realised
that

special
equipment
and
skills
arc

required
in
some
caseS
to

carry
out
the

work
detailed

in
the
text
and
we

do
not

recommend
that
such
work
be

attempted
unless
the
reader

possesses
the

necessary
skill

and

equipment
It
would
be
better
to

have
an

AUTHQRISED

DEALER
to

carry
out
the

work

using
the

special
tools
and

equipment
available
to

his
trained
staff
He
will
also
be
in

possession
of
the

genuine
spare
parts
which
may
be

needed
for

replacement

The
information
in
the
Manual
has
been
checked

against
that
provided
by
the
vehicle

manufacturer
and
any

peculiarities
have
been
mentioned
if

they
depart
rom
usual

work

shop
practice

A
fault

finding
and
trouble

shooting
chart
has
been
inserted
at

the
end
of
the
Manual
to

enable
the
reader
to

pin
point
faults
and
so
save

time
As
it
is

impossible
to
include

every

malfunction

only
the
more
usual
ones
have
been
included

A

composite
conversion
table
has
also
been
included
at

the
end
of
the
manual
and
we

would
recommend
that
wherever

possible
for

greater
accuracy
the
metric
system
units

are
used

Brevity
and

simplicity
have
been
our
aim
in

compiling
this
Manual

relying
on

the
number

ous
illustrations
and
clear
text

to
inform
and
instruct
the
reader
At
the

request
of
the

many
users
of
our
Manuals
we
have
slanted
the
book
towards

repair
and
overhaul
rather

than
maintenance

Although
every
care
has
been

taken
to
ensure

that
the
information
and
data
are

correct

WE
CANNOT
ACCEPT

ANY

INTRODUCTION

The
1400
1600
cc

and
1800
cc

engines
are
four

cylinder

in
line
units
with
a

single
overhead
camshaft

and

fully
balanced

five

bearing
crankshaft

The
valves
are

operated
through
rockers

which
are

directly
activated

by
the

earn
mechanism

The
crankshaft
is
a

special
steel

forging
with
the
centre

main

bearing

equipped
with
thrust
washers

to
take

up
the
end

thrust

of
the
crankshaft
The

special
aluminium

pistons
are
of

the
strut

construction
to

control
thermal

expansion
and

have

two

compression
rings
and
one
combined
oil

ring

The

gudgeon
pins
have

special
hollow
steel
shafts

and
are

a

fully
floating
fit
in

the

pistons
and
a

press
fit

in
the

connecting

rods

The
aluminium

alloy
cylinder
head
contains

wedge
type

combustion
chambers

and
is
fitted
with
aluminium

bronze
valve

seats

for
the
intake
valves

and
heat
resistant
steel
valve
seats

for
the
exhaust

valves

The
cast

iron
camshaft
is
driven

by
a
double
row
roller

chain
from
the
crankshaft

pulley

The

engine
is

pressure
lubricated

by
a
rotor

type
oil

pump

which
draws
oil

through
an

oil
strainer
into
the

pump
housing

and
then
forces

it

through
a
full
flow

oil
filter

into
the
main
oil

gallery

VALVE
SEAT
INSERTS

Replacing

The
valve
seat
inserts
should
be
replaced
if

they
show

signs

of

pitting
and
excessive
wear

The
inserts
can
be
removed

by
boring
out
to
a

depth
which

will
cause
them
to

collapse
although
care
must
be
taken
not

to
bore
beyond
the
bottom
face
of
the
recess

in
the

cylinder

approximately
half
a

VALVE
SPRINGS

The

Compare
the

VALVE
CLEARANCES

Adjusting

Incorrect
valve
clearance
will
affect
the

performance
of

the

engine
and

may
damage
the
valves
and
valve
seats
Insuf

ficient
valve
clearance
will
result
in
loss
of

power
and

may

prevent
the
valve
from

seating
properly
Excessive
clearance

causes
the
valve
to
seat
and
reduces
the
amount
of

valve
lift

This
will
result
in

noisy
operation
with

damage
to
the
valves

and
seats

Adjustment
is
made
with
the

engine
switched
off

and
should
be
carried
out

initially
with
the

engine
cold
to

allow
the

engine
to
run
Final

adjustments
are
made
after

wanning

up
the

engine
to

its
Donnal

operating
temperature
The

engine
can
be
rotated

by
removing
the

sparking
plugs
to
release

the

cylinder
compressions
then

selecting

top
gear
and

pushing

the
vehicle
backwards
and
forwards

The

clearances
should
be
set
to

in
for
the
inlet
valves
and
0
25

0

valves
Check
the
clearance
between
the
valve
and

rocker

using
a
feeler

gauge
as
shown
in

Fig

40
Slacken
the

locknut
and
turn
the
adjusting
screw
until
the

specified
clearance

is
obtained
then

tighten
the
locknut
and
recheck
the
clearance

The

should

just

When
the
cold

have
been

run
the

then

switch

the
bottom
of
the

front

timing
cover
and
driven

by
the
distributor
drive
shaft

assembly

Overhaul
of
the

pump
will

require
careful
measurement

of

the
various
clearances
to
determine
the
amount

of
wear

which

has
taken

place
If

any
part
is
found
to
be
worn
it

may
be
neces

sary
to

replace
the
entire
oil

pump
assembly
To
remove
the
oil

pump
from
the

engine
proceed
as
follows

1
Remove
