and
drive
in
the
inserts

making
sure

that
they

bed
down
correctly
The
inserts
should
be
caulked
at
more
than

four

positions
and
then
cuf

ground
to

the

specified

dimensions
shown
in

IS

Place
a
small
amount

of
fine

grinding
compound
on
the

seating
face
of

the
valve
and
insert
the
valve
into
the
valve

guide

Lap
the
valve

against
its
seat

by
rotating
it
backwards
and

forwards

approximately
half
a
revolution
in
each
direction

until
a
continous

seating
has
been
obtained
Remove
the
valve

and
clean
all
traces
of

the

grinding
compound
from
valve
and

seat

VALVE
SPRINGS

The
valve

springs
can
be
checked
for

squareness
using
a

steel

square
and
surface

plate
If
the

spring
is
out
of

square
by

more
than
1

it
must

be

replaced
Check
the

free

length
and
the
load

required
to
deflect
the

spring
to

its

assembled

height
Compare
the
figures
obtained
with
those

given
in
Technical
Data

and
replace
the

spring
if
the

specified

limits
are
exceeded

CAMSHAFT

BEARINGS

Checking

Measure
the

between
the

of
the

journal
If
the
wear

for
the

bearing
clearance
exceeds

in
it
will
be

necessary
to

replace
the

cylinder

See
Technical
Data
for
all
diameters

Check
the
camshaft
and

journals
for

signs
of

wear
or

damage

ace
the
camshaft
in

as
shown
in

must
not
exceed

It
should
be
noted
that
the
actual
run
out
will
be
half

the
the
value
indicated
on
the

When
the
camshaft
is
turned

CYLINDER
BLOCK

Inspection
and
Overhaul

Ensure
that
the

cylinder
block
is

thoroughly
clean
and

check
it
for
cracks
and
flaws

Check
the

joint
face
of
the
block
for
distortion

using
a

straight
edge
and
feeler

gauge
as
shown
in

Fig
A
20
The
surface

must

be

reground
if
the
maximum
tolerance
of
O
lmm

0

is
exceeded

Examine
the

cylinder
bores
for
out
of
round
or

taper

using
a

bore

gauge
as

shown
in

Fig

must

be
taken

remove

the

wring
a

suitable

ridge
reamer

If

any
of
the
bores
are
in
excess

then
all
the

must
be
rebored
at

the

and
can
be

selected
in

with
the
amount

of

the

When
the
oversize

the

pistons
has
been
decided
it
will

be
necessary
to
measure
the

piston
at
the

piston
skirt

Fig

and
add
to

this
dimension
the

The
bores
must

be
brought

size

by
honing
and
the
block

thoroughly
cleaned

to
remove
all
traces
of
metal

Measure
the
finished

bore
and
check
the
clearance
between

each

piston
and
its

cylinder
The
clearance
can

be
checked
as

shown
in

Fit
the

and

install
the

Ensure
that
the

mating

crankshaft

sprocket
face
towards
the
front
Install
the

timing

chain

making
sure
that
the
crankshaft
and
camshaft

keys
are

XJinting
upwards
The
marks
on
the

timing
chain
must
be

aligned
with
the
marks
on
the

right
hand
side
of
the
crankshaft

and
camshaft

sprockets
It
should
be
noted
that
three
location

holes
are

provided
in
the
camshaft

sprocket
See

Fig

The

camshaft

sprocket
being
set
to
the
No

location
hole

by
the

manufacturers
A
stretched
chain
will
however
affect
the

valve

timing
and
if
this
occurs
it
will
be

necessary
to
set
the
camshaft

to
the
No
3
location
hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket
The
chain

can

be
checked

by
turning
the

engine
until
the

No
1
piston
is

at
T
D
C
on
its

compression
stroke
In
this

position
adjustment

will
be

required
if
the
location
notch
on

the
camshaft

sprocket

is
to
the
left
of
the

groove
on
the
camshaft

locating
plate
as

shown
in
the
illustration
The
correction
is
made

by
setting
the

camshaft
on

the
No
3
location
hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket

the
No
3
notch
should
then
be
to
the

right
of
the

groove
and

the
valve

timing
will
have
to

be
set

using
the
No
3

timing
mark

Install
the
chain

guide
and
chain
tensioner
when
the
chain

is
located

correctly
There
should
be
no

protrusion
of
the

must
be

fitted
if
the

protrudes

Press
a

DESCRIPTION

Either
a

diaphragm

or

coil

spring
type
clutch

is

fitted
to

the
vehicle
The

component
parts
of
the

diaphragm

are
shown
in

Fig

l
and
the

component
parts

of
the
coil

spring
clutch
are
shown
in

Fig

The
clutch
is
of
the

single
dry
plate
type
consisting
of

the
drive

plate
clutch
coveT
and

pressure
plate
and
release

bearing

The
driven

plate
comprises
a

flexible
disc
and

splined
hub

which
slides
on
the

clutch
shaft
Friction
linings
are

rivetted
to

both

sides
of
the
disc

The
clutch
cover

and

pressure
plate
are
combined

by
nine

spring
setting
bolts
The

diaphragm
is
dished
to

maintain
a

constant

pressure
on
the

pressure
plate
which
in
turn
holds

the
driven

plate
in
contact
with
the

flywheel
The
release

bearing

is
a
sealed

type
ball

bearing
mounted
on
a

bearing
sleeve
Both

bearing
and
sleeve
are
operated

by
the
withdrawalleveT
when

the
clutch

pedal
is

operated

The
clutch

pedal
actuates
a
master

cylinder
which
transmits

fluid

under

pressure
to
a
slave

cylinder
The
movement
of

the

slave

cylinder
piston
operates
the
clutch

via

a
