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

head

Select
the

Make

sure
that
the

pistons
and

rings
and
the
cylinder

are

lubricated
with
clean

FLUID
COUPLING

The
water

pump
is

equipped
with

a
fluid

coupling
on

vehicles
fitted
with
an

air
conditioner

The
fluid

coupling

Limits

the
maximum
fan

speed
to

approximately
3000

r

p
ro

and
eliminates
noise

and
loss
of

power
at

high
engine

speeds

A
fault
in
the

coupling
may
be
caused

by
the

entry
of

foreign
matter

If
a
fault

developes
the

oupling
must
be

removed
and
dismantled

and
the
interior
cleaned

by

washing

in
solvent
The
condition
of
the
seal

and

bearing
must
be
care

fully
checked

and
the

coupling
replaced
if
the
latter

items
have

become
blackened
If
oil
leaks
occur

it
will
be

CENTRIFUGAL
ADVANCE
MECHANISM

Special
equipment
is

required
to
check
the
advance

characteristics
It
is

possible
however
to

carry
out
an
exam

ination
of

the
caffi

assembly
and
the

weights
and

springs
to

ensure
that
the
earn
is
not

seizing

Lift
off
the
distributor

cap
and
turn
the
rotor
anti
clock

wise
When

the
rotor

is
released
is
should
return
to

the
fully

retarded

position
without

sticking
If
it

does
not
return
to
the

fully
retarded

position
it
will
be

necessary
to
check
for

dirt

and
weak

springs

It
should
be
noted
that

any
wear
in
the

mechanism
or

lose
of

spring
tension
will

upset
the
advance
characteristics
and

cause

unsatisfactory
engine
running
performance
over
the

speed

range

VACUUM
ADVANCE
MECHANISM

The

diaphragm
of
the
vacuum
advance

mechanism
is

mechanically
connected
to
the
contact
breaker

plate
The
rise

and
fall
of
inlet
manifold

depression
causes

the

diaphragm
to

move

the
contact
breaker

plate
to

advance
or

retard
the

ignition

If
the
vacuum

control
unit
fails
to

function

correctly
a

check
can
be
carried
out
to
ensure
that
the
contact
breaker

plate

is

moving
freely
and
that
the

three
steel

balls
at

the

top
and

oottom
of
the

plate
are

adequately
lubricated

Also
make
sure
that
the
vacuum
inlet

pipe
is
not
blocked

or

leaking
and
is

securely
tightened

Leakage
may
be
due
to
a

defective

diaphragm
which

should

be
renewed

along
with

any
other

faulty
part
of
the
mechanism

SPARKING

inspected
and
cleaned
at

regular
intervals
not

exceeding

every
10

km
6000
miles

New

Remove
the

plugs
and
check
the
amount
of
electrode

wear

deposits
with

slight
electrode
wear

indicate
that
the

plugs
are

are
caused

by

In
this

case

it
is
advisable
to

Oily
