3. Engine
1049 cc engine - general
1 This engine is of overhead camshaft design,
using shims for valve clearance adjustment. The
crankshaft is supported in five main bearings,
the centre one incorporating the thrust washers
which control crankshaft endfloat.
2 An auxiliary shaft, driven by the toothed
camshaft belt, is used to drive the distributor and
the fuel pump. 3 Most major engine components
can be removed while the engine is in the car,
but operations on the crankshaft, main bearings
and flywheel can only be carried out after the
engine has been removed.
4 Engine removal and subsequent dismantling
follows closely the information given for the
overhead valve engine in Chapter 1, but the
following sequence for complete engine
dismantling is recommended:
(a) Engine ancillaries (alternator, fuel pump, distributor)
(b) Timing belt cover
(c) Water pump
(d) Timing belt tensioner and belt
(e) Manifolds
(f) Cylinder head complete with camshaft
(g) Crankshaft pulley
(h) Auxiliary shaft sprocket
(i) Sump
(j) Oil pump and auxiliary shaft
(k) Connecting rods and pistons
(l) Flywheel and crankshaft oil seal carriers
(m) Crankshaft and main bearings
5 If the cylinder head is to be dismantled, before
withdrawing the camshaft, have a suitably divided
container ready so that the valve clearance
adjusting shims can be extracted and kept in strict
originally installed order together with their
appropriate valves, springs etc.
6 All engine parts must be thoroughly cleaned
and examined as explained in Chapter 1. Where
required, all defective parts should be renewed
before reassembly starts.
Crankshaft – refitting
7 Fit the main bearing shells to their seats in the
crankcase after making sure that both shells and
seats are spotlessly clean and dry (photos).
8 With a light smear of grease, fit the two half
thrust washers each side of the centre bearing
with the oil grooves in each washer facing away
from the bearing shell (photo).
9 Using clean engine oil lubricate the bearing
shells and crankshaft main bearing journals
(photo).
10 Carefully lower the crankshaft into its bearings
in the crankcase after making sure that it is the
right way round. Spin the shaft to distribute the o il
(photo).
11 Fit the clean and dry bearing shells to the main
bearing caps. Oil the bearing face and fit the
bearing caps to the crankcase. Make sure that
each cap is fitted to its own location by checking
the groove marks in the base, and that each cap
is the right way round. This is achieved when the
axial locating tags in each half bearing shell butt
on the same side (photos).
3.7A Thoroughly clean the bearing shells and seats
before
assembly 3.7B Note that central bearing shell has no oil gro ove but all
shell are axially located by an offset tag

them up fingertight. Spin the crankshaft and, if
all is well, tighten the bolts to the specified
torque load and turn the crankshaft again to
check freedom of rotation (photo).
13 Measure the crankshaft endfloat with feeler
gauges. If this exceeds the specified tolerance,
oversize thrust washers will have to be fitted.

16 Follow the procedure given in Chapter 1,

17 Note that the connecting rods in the 1049 cc
engine have two oil jet holes leading from the
big-end bearing (photo).

the valve depressions adjacent to the side of the

20 Torque load the big-end cap nuts to the
reading quoted in the Specifications of this
Chapter 13 - it is different from the value quoted
for the 903 cc engine (photo).
Oil pump - reassembly
21 The oil pump fitted to the 1049 cc engine is a
Hobourn-Eaton rotor type of pump which is quite
different from the gear pump fitted to the 903 cc
engine. It consists of a four lobed rotor rotating
in a five slotted outer rotor which is mounted
eccentrically to the inner rotor. As the inner roto r
rotates the outer rotor is driven round, and the
spaces between the lobes on the inner rotor and
the slots in the outer rotor increase and
decrease once per revolution. The increasing
spaces are connected to the pump inlet and
cause oil to be drawn into the pump. The
decreasing spaces connect with the pump outlet
through which the oil is forced to feed the
engine. A springloaded relief valve in the outlet
of the pump vents excessive oil pressure into
the sump. The efficiency of the pump depends
