BLEEDING
THE
HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM

The
hydraulic
system
must
be
bled
if
the
circuit
has
been

opened
at

any
point
or
if

the
level
of
the
fluid
in
the
master

cylinder
reservoir
has
fallen
too

low
allowing
air
to
enter

the

system

Bleeding
is

usually
a
two
man

operation
as
assistance
will

be

required
to
work
the
brake

pedal
The
master

cylinder

reservoir
must
be

topped

up
constantly
throughout
the

operation

whilst
a
check
is
carried
out
on

the
fluid

expelled

Bleeding
should
be
carried
out
at
the
master

cylinder
nrst

then
from
the
brake
furthest

away
from
the
master

cylinder

and

working
round

finally
to

the
brake
nearest
to
the
master

cylinder
Bleeding
should
therefore
be
carried
out

in

order

Open
the
bleed
screw
and

depress
the
brake

pedal
to
allow

the

to
enter
the

glass
container

Tighten
the
bleed
screw

when
the

pedal
is
fully
depressed
and
allow
the

pedal
to
return

Repeat
the

procedure
until
the
fluid
is

completely
free

from
air
bubbles
then

carry
out
the
same
operation
on
the

other
three
wheels

Top
up
the
fluid
in
the
reservoir
to

DESCRIYfION

The
G

short

stroke
unit
with
a

displacement

of
1
815
ce
The
aluminium

alloy
cylinder
head
has
cross
flow

ports
and
a
V

shaped
valve

layout
The

single
overhead
camshaft

is
driven
from
the
crankshaft

by
a
double
row
roller
chain
at
a

reduction

ratio
of
2
I

The
crankshaft
is
a

carbon
steel

forging
and
is

provided

with
five
main

bearings
and
four

balancing
weights
Aluminium

thrust

bearings
are
located
at

the
No
2

journal

The
cast
aluminium

alloy
pistons
have
two

comp
ression

rings
and
one
oil

ring
Gudgeon

pins
are

fully
floating
in
the

piston
bores
and
are

equipped
with

circlips
at

each
end
to
limit

the
amount

of
their
travel
The

forged
steel

connecting
rods

have
weight
adjusting
bosses
at
both

large
and
small
ends
to

insure
that
the
rods
are

correctly
balanced

during
operation

The

lubricating
system
is
of

the

pressure
feed

type
with

the
oil

pump
driven

by
a

gear
on
the
crankshaft
Oil

ENGINE
MOUNTING
INSULATORS

Replacing

The

front

sump
Make
sure
that
the

jack
is
clear

a
wooden
block
between

the
jack
and

sump
to

prevent
the

sump
from

being
damaged

Remove
the
bolts

securing
the
insulator
to
the
front

suspension

member
and
the
nut

attaching
the
insulator
to
the

engine

mounting
bracket
Raise
the

jack
slightly

remove
the

insulator
To
remove
the

the
transmission
rear

extension

housing
Remove
the
bolts

attaching
the
cross
member

to

the
underside
of
the

body
and
withdraw
the

servicing
procedures
are
similar
to
those

given

and
can

be
carried

out

by
reference
to

the

castor

angles
are

preset
and

and
a

check
must

be
made
for

signs
of

damage
to

the

suspension
system
if
the

angles
do
not

system
should
be
lubricated

every
two

years

or
50
000
km
30
000
miles
whichever
comes

fIrst

A

must
be
used
for
the

rack
and

pinion
and
rack
and
tie
rod

joints
The

plug
on
the

steering
gear

should
be
removed
and
a

grease

fitted
so
that
the
recommended

quantity
of
10

15

gram

0
35

can
be

injected
Remove
the

nipple
and

replace
the
plug
when
lubrication
is

completed

The
