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

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

this
occurs
it
will
be

necessary
to

can

be
checked

by

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
cold
valve
clearances
should
be
set
to
0
20
mm

0
0079
in
for
the
inlet
valves
and
0
25
mm
0
0098
in
for

the
exhaust
valves
Check
the
clearance
between
the
valve
and

rocker

using
a
feeler

gauge
as
shown
in

Fig
A
40
Slacken
the

locknut
and
turn
the
adjusting
screw
until
the

specified
clearance

is
obtained
then

tighten
the
locknut
and
recheck
the
clearance

The
feeler

gauge
should

just
be
free
to
move
between
the
rocker

and
valve
When
the
cold
valve
clearances
have
been
set
run
the

engine
until
it
reaches
its
normal

operating
temperature
then

switch
off
and

adjust
the
valve
clearances
with
the

engine
warm

to

0
25
mm
0
0098
in
for
the
inlet
valves
and

OIL
PUMP
Removal

type
oil

pump
is
mounted
at
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

The

comprises
the

spark
plugs
high

lead
and
the

battery

See
Fig

The

in

Fig

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

Fig

The

pulley
groove
should

appear

to

The

top
dead

mark
is
located
at
the
extreme

right
as

shown
in
the

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

for

settings

After

timing
tighten
the

bolts
and
recheck
the

Maintenance

Remove
the
distributor

cap
by
easing
away
the

examine
the

for

signs
of

burning
or

The

points
can
be
cleaned
if

necessary
using
a
fine

grade
of
oilstone

or
file
The
faces
of
the

must
be

completely
flat

parallel
and
all
abrasive
dust
removed
with

compressed

If

the

are

excessively
pitted
they
must

be
renewed
and

grease

applied

VACUUM

MECHANISM

The

of
the
vacuum
advance

mechanism
is

mechanically
connected

causes

the

diaphragm
to

move

the

plate
to

advance
or

retard
the

If
the
vacuum

control
unit
fails
to

correctly
a

check
can
be
carried
out
to
ensure
that
the

that
the

Leakage
may
be
due
