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

temperature
and

make
sure

that
neither
the
thermostat

or
thermometer

touch

the
sides
of
the

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

necessary
to

replace
the

water

pump

the

coupling
After

cleaning
the
unit
refill

CARBURETTOR
Removal
and
Overhaul

The
carburettor
can
be
removed
from
the

engine
in
the

following
manner

Remove
the
air
cleaner

assembly

2
Disconnect
the
fuel
and
vacuum

pipes
and
the
choke
wire

from
the
carburettor

3
Remove
the
throttle
lever
and
take
off
the
nuts
and

washers

securing
the
carburettor
to

the
manifold

4
Lift
the
carburettor

away
from
the
manifold
and
discard

the

gasket

To
dismantle
the
carburettor
for
a

complete
overhaul

remove
the

primary
and

secondary
main

jets
and
needle
valves
these
are
accessible
from
the
exterior
of
the
carburettor

Remove
the
choke

connecting
rod

pump
lever
return

spring
and
set
screws
and
take
off
the
choke
chamber

The

primary
and

secondary
emulsion
tubes
can
be
with

drawn
after

removing
the
main
air
bleed
screws

If
the
accelerator

pump
is
to
be
checked
take
off
the

pump

cover
but
take
care
not
to
lose
the
return

spring
and

inlet
valve

ball
situated
at
the
lower

part
of
the

piston

Separate
the
throttle
chamber
from
the
float
chamber

by

removing
the

retaining
screws
leave
the
throttle
valve

intact

unless
otherwise

required

All

parts
of
the
carburettor
must
be
ctifefully
cleaned
and

sediment

gum
or

other

deposits
removed

Clean
the

jets
by
blowing
through
them
with

compressed

air
Never

push
wire

through
the

j
ts
or

passages
or
the
orifices

will
be

enlarged
and
the
calibration
affected

Check
all

parts
for

signs
of
wear
and

exchange
them
if

necessary

Examine
the
float
needle
and
seat
for
wear

and
make
sure

that
the
throttle
and
choke
bores
in
the
throttle

body
and

cover
are
not
worn
or
out
of
round
If
the

idling
adjustment

needles
have
burrs
or

ridges
they
must

be
replaced

Inspect
the

gaskets
to
make
sure
that

they
are
not
hard

and
brittle
or
distorted

Oean
the
filter
screen
if
it
is

clogged
or

change
it
if
it

is

otherwist

unsatisfactory

Check
the

operation
of
the
accelerator

pump
by
pouring

petrol
into
the
float
chamber
and
operating
the
throttle
lever

Petrol
should

spurt
from
the

pump
discharge
jet
if

the

pump
is

working
correctly
If

petrol
cannot
be

ejected
from
the

jet

when
the
lever
is
actuated
clean
the
discharge
jet
by
blowing

through
it
with
compressed
air

CARBURETTOR
Assembly
and
Installation

The

assembly
and
installation
of
the
carburettor
is
a

reversal
of

the
dismantling
and
removal

procedures
noting
the

following
points

Always
replace
the

gaskets
if

they
are
not

satisfactory
and

take
care
that
the
carburettor

linkage
operates
smoothly
and
is

not
bent
or
distorted

The

performance
of
the
carburettor
will

depend
on

the

condition
of

the
jets
and
air
bleeds
As

previously
stated
these

pacts

Either
a

Two

types
of

synchromesh
are
used
in
the
four

gearboxes
Either

Borg

types
may
be

differ

only
in

synchronize
the

COLLAPSIBLE
STEERING

The

collapsible
steering
column
is

designed
so
that

compression
occurs
when
the
vehicle
is
involved
in
a

head
on

collision
See

Fig
K
13

Two
forces
can
be
considered
when
a
collision
of
this

type
takes

place
These

being
the

primary
force
in
which
the

forward
motion
of
the
car
is

suddenly
halted
and
the

secondary

force

as
the
driver
continues
in

a
forward
direction
onto
the

steering
wheel

and
column
The

collapsible
column
is

designed

so
that
it
does
not
move
to
the
rear
i
e
into
the

driving
com

partment
when

the

primary
force
or
forward

motion
of
the
car

is

suddenly
halted
When
the

secondary
force
takes

place
as

the
driver
is
thrown
forward

the
column

jacket
gradually

collapses
and

partially
absorbs
the
amount
of

impact

The

collapsible

type
of
column
is
no
more

susceptible
to

damage
than
an

ordinary
column
when
it

is
installed
in
the

vehicle
however
when
a

collapsible
column

is
removed
it
must

be

carefully
handled
A

sharp
blow
on
the
end
of
the
shaft
or

gear
change
levers

dropping
or

leaning
on

the

assembly
can

cause

the
column

jacket
to
bend

particularly
at
the
bellows

part
which
absorbs
the
shock

The

steering
movement
is
transmitted

by
the

lower
shaft

and

upper
tube
The
lower
shaft
exterior
and

upper
tube

interior
are

tightly
fitted

together
with
four

plastic

pins
com

pletely

eliminating

any
gap

When
a
collision
occurs
the

plastic
pins
shear

and
the
lower

shaft
enters

the

upper
tube
this
action
will
cause
the
shaft
end

to

spread
and
the
lower
shaft
cannot

then
be
withdrawn
unless

an

extremely
high
load
is

applied

The
shaft
is

prevented
from

moving
towards
the
drivers

compartment
when
the

primary
force

takes

place
i

e
when

the
forward
motion
of
the
vehicle
is

suddenly
halted

by
the

three

stoppers
on

the

jacket
tube
The

steering
lock
collar

mounted
to
the
shaft
contacts

the
stoppers
and

prevents
a
rear

ward
movement

A
part
of

the

jacket
tube
is

specially
formed
to
act
as
an

energy
absorbing

part
of
the

collapsible

steering
The

upper

and
lower

guide
tubes

joined
with

polyacetal
resin
are

inserted

into
the
mesh
tube
so
that

energy
generated
by
a

collision
can

be
absorbed
as

smoothly
as

possible
with
a

low
load

The

steering
column

clamp
shown
in

Fig
K
14
is
secured

to

the

jacket
tube
and

body
by
bolts
with
two
aluminium

slidings
blocks
set
to
the

body
by
plastic
pins
An

impact
from

the
drivers
side
causes

the

plastic
pins
to
shear

and
leave
the

sliding
block
in
the
column

clamp
side

allowing
the

clamp
to

move
with
the
