and
make
sure
that
the

Care

should
be
taken
to
ensure
that
the
valves
are

clear
from
the

heads
of
the

pistons
The
crankshaft
and
camshaft
must
not
be

rotated

separately
or
the
valves
will
strike
the

of
the

pistons
Temporarily

Ensure
that
the

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

are

provided
in

The

camshaft

sprocket
being
set

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

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

location
hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket

the
No

notch
should
then
be
to
the

right

the

groove
and

the
valve

timing
will
have
to

be
set

using
the
No

Under

the

draws
the

Ventilating

is
then
drawn

With

the

to

Under
these
conditions

the

flow

tluough
the

to
the

in
the
reverse

direction
The

are
therefore
retained

to
lessen

the

Servicing
and

Once
a

year
or

every
20
000
km
12
000
miles
the
Posi

tive
Crankcase
Ventilation
System
should
be
serviced
as
follows

Check
all
hoses
and
connectors
for

signs
or

leakage
Discon

nect

the
hoses
and
blow

through
them
with

compressed
air
to

make
sure

they
are
not
blocked
Fit
a
new
hose
if
air
cannot

be
forced
through

Check
the
ventilation
control
valve
for

servicability
and

renew
it
if
defective
To
test
the
valve
run

the
engine
at

idling

speed
see
under
IGNITION
TIMING
AND
IDLING
SPEED

and
disconnect
the
ventilation
hose
from
the
rocker
cover
If

the
valve
is

working
correctly
a

hissing
noise
will
be
heard
as

air

passes
through
the
valve
and
a

strong
vacuum
should
be
felt

immediately
a

comprises
an
air

belt
driven
air
injection

pump
check
valve
anti
backfIre
valve

and
the
related

connecting
tubes
and
hoses
The
sealed

pump
is

driven

by
the

engine
and

injects
clean
mtered
air
into
the
exhaust

port
of
each

cylinder
The
clean
air
combines
with
unbumt

gases

as

they
are

expelled
into
the
exhaust
manifolds
and
reduces
the

emissions
to
below
the

permissible
level

required
by
air

pollution

laws

A
modified
carburettor
and
distributor
is
fitted
with
this

type
of

system
The
air

injection
system
is
shown
in

Fig
A
23

The
anti
backfrre

valve
is
controlled

by
intake
manifoLd

vacuum
and
is
fitted
to

prevent
the
exhaust

system
from
back

fIring
during
deceleration
When
decelerating
the
mixture
in

the
intake
manifold
is
too
rich
to
bum
and

ignites
as
it
combines

with
air

injected
by
the

pump
The
valve
shuts
off

the
air
delivered

SI2
to
the
exhaust

system
during
the

flrstpredetennined
period

of

dCl
cleration
and

prevents
back

firing
from

occuring

To

check
valve
is
located

between
the
air

pump
and
air

injection
nozzle
and
is
fitted
to

prevent
a
backflow
of
exhaust

gases
from

entering
the

system
The
valve
doses
when
the

exhaust
manifold

pressure
exceeds
air

injection

pressure
as
It

will

at
high
speed
or
if
the

pump
drive
belt
fails

A
relief
valve
is
mounted
in
the

discharge
cavity
of
the
air

pump
and
is

incorporated
to

hold
the
exhaust

gas
temperatures

to
a
minimum
to
minimize

any
loss
of

power
caused

by
the
air

injection

system
and
to

protect
the

pump
from
excessive
back

pressures

Testing

The

following
tests
should

be
carried
out
to
make
sure
that

the
exhaust
emission
control

system
is

operating
correctly
The

engine
must

be
at
normal

operating

temperature
to

perfonn
the

tests
Before
the

system
can
be
tested
the

engine
itself
must
be

checked
to

ensure
that
It
is
functioning
correctly
Disconnect

the
ant
backflTe
valve

sensing
hose
and
insert
a

plug
into
the

hose
to
close
the

passage
to
the
intake
manifold
Make
sure
that

the

engine
operates
normally
and
then

reconnect
the

parts

Testing
the
check
valve

Run
the

engine
until
it
reaches
its
nonnal

operating
tem

pemture
and
check
all
hoses
and
connectors
for

signs
of
leakage

Disconnect
the
air

supply
hose
from
the
check
valve
and

check
the
position
of
the

plate
inside
the
valve
body
The

plate

should
be

lightly
positioned
against
the
valve
seat
and
away
from

the
air
distributor
manifold
Insert
a
suitable
probe
into
the

valve
and

depress
the

plate
When
released
the

plate
should

return

freely
to
its

position
against
the
valve
seat

Leave
the
hose
disconnected
and
start

the

engine
Slowly

increase
the

engine
speed
to
1500
r

p
m
and
examine
the
valve

to

make
sure
that
the
exhaust

gases
are
not

leaking
The
valve

may
flutter
or
vibrate
at

idling
speed
but
this
is

quite
nonnal

Renew
the
valve
if

necessary

Testing
the
ant

backftre
valve

Run
the

engine
until
it
reaches
its

normal
operating
tem

perature
Check
the
hoses
and
connections
for

signs
of

leakage

Rectify
any
leakage
before

testing
the
vaNe

Accelerate
the
engine
in
neutral
and
allow
the
throttle

to
close

quickly
The
valve
is

operating
correctly
if
the
exhaust

system
does
not
backfire

Further
test
can
be
made
with
the

by

pass
hose
to
the
air

pump
suction
line
disconnected
from
the

valve

Open
and
close
the
throttle
valve
rapidly
Hold
a

fInger

over
the
valve
outlet
and
check
that
air
flows
for
between
a

half
and
one
second
If
air
does
not

flow
or

alternatively
if
it

flows

continuously
for
more

than
two
seconds
the
valve
is

faulty
and
must
be
renewed

Disconnect
the
vacuum

sensing
hose
from
the
valve
Insert

a

suitable

plug
securely
into
the

hose
The
valve
is
not

functioning

correctly
if
the

idling
speed
now
differs

excessively
from
the

speed
at

which
the

engine
operated
with
the
hose
connected

Testing
the
air

pump

Special
tools
are

required
to
test
the
air

pump
The
vehicle

should
therefore
be
taken
to
an

Approved
Agent
capable
of

carrying
out

extensive
tests

with
the

necessary
equipment
The

hoses
and
connectors
can
of
course
be
checked
for

of

leakage

corrected
as

necessary
