Engine Oil
For
maximum
engine
protection under all driving conditions encountered during the recommended
oil
change intervals, it is necessary to use only
"MS"
certified
sequence-tested
oils. The term
"MS"
must appear on the oil container singly or
in
conjunction with other designations. "MS" des
ignated oils are heavy-duty detergent oils that are
formulated to withstand all service conditions in
modern powerplants. Engine oils designated only
as
"ML"
and/or
"MM"
are not recommended and should not be used except in an emergency when
"MS"
oil is not available. Certified
sequence-tested
engine
oils are described on their containers by
such
phrases as:
meets,
exceeds,
excels, or has
proven superior in the
test
requirements,
test
sequences, MS Service
tests,
standards, and service
requirements,
of automotive manufacturers, auto
makers,
or car manufacturers for MS service or
Service
MS.
It
may be necessary to change
engine
oil more
frequently than normally recommended, depending upon the type and quality of oil used, the severity
of operation conditions, if the
engine
is used for
short
periods in cold weather, or if the
engine
is allowed to idle for excessive periods.
Always
drain
the crankcase while the
engine
is hot since
dirt
and contaminants are then more
likely
to be held in suspension and therefore
will
drain
out more completely.
Drain
the crankcase as follows:
a.
Position the
drain
receptacle under the
drain
plug.
b.
Remove the
drain
plug using the correct size
wrench.
Be careful of hot oil.
c.
Carefully
clean the
drain
plug. Inspect and
replace
the gasket, if deteriorated.
d.
When the oil has drained, replace and tighten
the crankcase
drain
plug. 12

LUBRICATION
Note:
Hard
shifting of the transmission gear in
cold weather is a positive indication that the
lubri
cant
is of the wrong viscosity or of poor quality
which
allows it to congeal.
B-38.
Optional
4-Speed
Transmission
and
Transfer Case
The
four-speed transmission and transfer case re
quire
separate lubrication for each unit as
they
have no cross-over oil passage. At each transmission
service check, the
fill
plugs of
both
four-speed
transmission
and transfer case should be pulled
and
the lubricant refilled to level if necessary.
B-39.
Transfer
Case
Linkage
The
transfer case shift linkage should be lubricated
periodically.
All
bearing surfaces that are assembled
with
studs and cotter pins should be disassembled, cleaned, and coated with a
good
waterproof grease.
The
bearing surfaces that cannot be disassembled
should be lubricated with a lubricant that
will
penetrate the bearing
area.
These bearings include
the two on the cross shaft assembly and the
threaded stud.
The
type
of penetrating lubricant recommended is
DuPont
"PM 7", No. 2911, or its equivalent.
B-40.
Brake Master Cylinder
Clean
the top of the
fill
cap and also the housing
area
around it. Remove the cap and observe the
fluid
level. It should be
half
an inch
below
the top
of the fill-hole. If not, add brake fluid to
half
inch
[1,3 cm.]
below
the top of the fill-hole. Use
only heavy-duty brake fluid conforming to speci
fication
SAE-J-1703.
Be sure to handle the brake
fluid
in clean dispensers and containers that
will
not introduce even the
slightest
amount of other
liquids
or foreign particles. Replace and tighten
the
fill
cap.

it is necessary to remove the housing cover. Let the lubricant
drain
out, and then flush
the differential with a flushing oil or light
engine
oil
to clean out the housing
(except
Powr-Lok
or
Trac-Lok
Differentials). Do not use water, steam,
kerosene, or
gasoline
for flushing.
Reinstall
the housing cover, replacing the gasket whenever necessary, torquing the cover
bolts
to 15 to 25 lb-ft. [2,1 a 3,4 kg-m.].
Remove the filler plug, and
refill
the differential

The
water pump and clutch release bearings are
prelubricated
for life when manufactured and cannot be relubricated.
B-7S.
Starter
Motor
Bearings
The
starting motor bearings are lubricated at assembly to last
between
normal rebuild periods.
B-76.
Alternator Bearings
The
alternator bearings are lubricated at assembly
and
require no further lubrication.
B-77.
Springs
The
vehicle springs should not be lubricated. At assembly the leaves are coated with a long-lasting
special
lubricant which is designed to last the life
of the springs. Spraying with the usual mixture of
oil
and kerosene has a tendency to wash this
lubri
cant
from
between
the leaves, making it necessary
to relubricate
often
to eliminate squeaking.
B-78.
Shock Absorbers
Hydraulic
direct-action shock absorbers are per manently sealed and require no periodic
lubrica
tion service. Shock absorber mounting bushings
are
not to be lubricated.
B-79.
LUBRICATION
REQUIREMENTS
FOR
OFF-HIGHWAY
OPERATION
Adequate lubrication
becomes
increasingly im portant when vehicles are used in off-highway
operation. Under
these
conditions all operating
parts
of both the
engine
and chassis are subjected
to unusual pressures. At the same time such operation is usually under abnormal dust and
dirt
conditions making additional precautions neces
sary.
The importance of correct lubrication for
the conditions of operation cannot be overestimated.
B-80.
Engine
Oil
It
is important, that the oil in a new or rebuilt
engine
be changed after the first
eight
or ten hours
of operation, and for heavy, dusty work, every 50
hours
thereafter. Watch the condition of the oil closely and change it immediately if it appears to
be contaminated.
i-Il.
Engine
Oil
Filter
Replace
the oil filter at the end of the first 100
hours
of service. Under extreme operating con ditions, more frequent replacement may be re
quired.
The condition of the oil is a reliable
indicator
of the condition of the filter element.
If
the oil
becomes
discolored and shows evidence
of contamination, change the filter without delay.
(Refer
to
Par.
B-10, B-ll for the correct procedure
for replacing the oil filter.)
B-82.
Air Cleaner
Care
of the air cleaner is extremely vital to the life of the engine. Pay particular attention to the
amount of dust and
dirt
in the air taken into the
engine
through the air cleaner. When dust is not
noticeable in the air, service the air cleaner each scheduled maintenance period. Whenever the air is
noticeably dusty (for example when the vehicle is
driven
on secondary roads or through fields) then
service the air cleaner more frequently. Under extreme continually dusty and dirty conditions
where the vehicle operates in clouds of dust and
dirt,
service the air cleaner daily. (Refer to Par.
B-24
thru
B-26 for service procedures.)
B-83.
Chassis
Lubrication
The
period of lubrication depends entirely upon the type of work being done. Using the specified
interval
given in the Service Maintenance Schedule as a guide, lubricate at safe intervals required for
the particular type of operation. Under extremely
dusty conditions lubricate
these
points daily. Be
sure
to force enough lubricant into each fitting to force out the old lubricant which might be con
taminated with grit and which would cause
rapid
wear
if allowed to remain.
Do not place lubricant on the various
ball
and socket joints or pivot points of the lift linkage as
dirt
will
accumulate to form an abrasive mix
ture.
It is
best
to simply wipe
these
parts clean
with
a cloth.
B-84.
Front
Axle
Shaft Universal Joints
For
off-highway use remove the universal joints twice yearly, thoroughly clean both the housings
and
joints with a suitable solvent, and
refill
the
housings to the
fill
plug opening levels with the
correct
lubricant as given in the
Lubrication
Specifications.
B-85.
Transmission and Transfer
Case
The
combined capacity of the two housings is
small
for economy, making it important that the
lubricant
be changed at regular intervals. For off-highway use
drain
both housings every 300
hours
of operation and
refill
to the
fill
plug opening
levels. Refer to B-35 through B-37 when changing
lubricant.
B-86.
Front and
Rear
Axle
Differentials
Because of the higher pressure developed in the
axle assemblies with heavy duty operation,
drain,
flush,
and
refill
the differential assemblies each 300 hours of operation. Use only flushing oil or light
engine
oil to clean out the housings (except
Powr-Lok
and
Trac-Lok
differentials). Refer to
Par.
B-52 and B-53 for draining and flushing
differential.

Distributor
Service
The
distributor cap should be inspected for
cracks,
carbon runners and evidence of arcing. If any
of
these
conditions exists, the cap should be re
placed.
Clean
any corroded high tension terminals. Inspect the rotor for cracks or evidence of
exces
sive burning at the end of the metal strip. After
a
distributor rotor has had normal use the end
of the rotor
will
become
burned. If burning is found
on top of the rotor it indicates the rotor is too
short and
needs
replacing. Usually when this con
dition is found the distributor cap
segment
will
be burned on the horizontal face and the cap
will
also need replacing.
Check
the condenser lead for broken wires or
frayed
insulation.
Clean
and tighten the connec
tions
on the terminal
posts.
Be sure the condenser
is mounted firmly on the distributor for a
good
ground connection. Should a condenser tester be available the capacity
should be checked. In the absence of a tester check
by substituting a new condenser.
Examine
the distributor
points
(Fig.
C-ll).
If
they
show wear, poor mating, transferred metal, or pitting, then new
ones
should be installed.
Clean
the
points
with a suitable solvent and a stiff
bristled brush.
Check
the alignment of the point for a
full,
square
contact. If not correctly aligned, bend the station
ary
contact bracket slightly to provide alignment,
a.
Hurricane F4 Engine (Prestolite).
The
contact gap of the distributor point on the
Hurricane
F4
engine
should be set at .020"
[0,508
mm.],
measured with a wire
gauge.
Adjustment of
the gap is accomplished by
loosening
the lock screw and turning adjusting eccentric screw (Fig.
C-12)
until correct gap is secured. Be sure that the
fiber block on the breaker arm is resting on the
highest point on the cam while the adjustment is being made. Recheck the gap after locking the
adjustment.
Apply
a thin film of cam lubricant to the cam to
lessen fiber block wear. Should a condenser tester be available the capacity
should check from .21 to .25 microfarads. In the
absence of a tester check by substituting a new
condenser.
Check
point contact spring pressure, which should
be
between
17 and 20
ounces
[0,487
a 0,56 kg.].
Check
with a spring scale hooked on the breaker
arm
at the contact and pull at right
angle
to the
breaker
arm. Make the reading just as the
points
separate. Adjust the point pressure by
loosening
the stud holding the end of the contact arm spring
and
slide the end of the spring in or out as neces
sary.
Retighten the stud and recheck the pressure. Too low a pressure
will
cause
engine
missing at
high
speeds.
Too high a pressure
will
cause rapid wear of the cam, block, and points.
b. Dauntless V-6 Engine (Delco).
The
spark advance is fully automatic being con
trolled by built-in centrifugal weights, and by a vacuum advance system (Fig.
C-13).
The same
checking procedures are used as (a)
above
except,
the capacity of the condenser must be .18 to .23 microfarads and the contact gap should be set at
.016"
[0,406
mm.]. Adjustment of the gap is made
by rotating the socket head adjustment screw with
a
Vs" [3,86 mm.] Allen wrench (Fig.
C-14).
The
contact spring pressure must be 19 to 23 ozs.
[0,538
a
0,652
gr.] and the cam dwell
angle
is
30°,
with distributor vacuum line disconnected.
The
preferred method of adjusting cam dwell re
quires turning of the adjusting screw until the specific dwell
angle
is obtained as measured by a
dwell
angle
meter. Refer to Par. C-l7. To adjust
the cam dwell by an alternate method, turn the adjusting screw in (clockwise) until the

mounting under the
rear
of the transmission on
the frame center cross member.
This
cross member
is bolted to the frame side

D-6. ENGINE DISASSEMBLY
Engine
disassembly is presented in the sequence to be followed when the
engine
is to be completely
overhauled after removal from the vehicle. Some
of the operations of the procedure are also ap
plicable
separately with the
engine
in the vehicle,
provided
that wherever necessary the part of the
engine
to be worked on is first made accessible by
removal
of
engine
accessories or other parts.
When
the disassembly operations are performed
with
the
engine
out of the vehicle, it is assumed,
in
this procedure, that all of the accessories have been removed
prior
to starting the disassembly
and
the oil has been drained.
In
addition to the instructions covering operations
for disassembling the
engine
out of the vehicle,
special
instructions are given to cover different
operations required when disassembly is
done
with the
engine
installed.
During
disassembly operations, the
engine
should
be mounted in a suitable
engine
repair
stand. Where
practicable,
modify or adapt an existing repair
stand
as necessary to accommodate the engine. If
an
engine
repair stand is not used, take care to
perform
disassembly operations in a manner that
will
protect personnel against an accident and the
engine
and its parts against damage.
NOTE:
If the
engine
is being disassembled because
of possible valve failure, check the valve tappet
clearance
before disassembly. Improper valve
clearance
could be the possible cause of valve
failure,
indicating a need for more frequent valve
checks and adjustments. 41

a
dial
indicator as shown in
Fig.
D-21 after refacing.
The
valve seat should not be out of round more
than
.002"
[0,051
mm.]. A simple check can be
made in the absence of a
dial
indicator by spreading
a
thin coat of pencil lead or bearing-fitting blue on
the valve face and then inserting the valve into the valve seat.
With
hand pressure, rotate the valve
a
quarter
turn
and then remove the valve and ob
serve the transfer of blue (or pencil lead) to the valve seat. An uneven transfer
will
indicate an
inaccurate
valve and valve seat refacing operation.
After
the seat is ground, check its width with a
seat width scale or a steel scale placed across the
face of the seat. The valve seat width after refacing
should measure [2,3 mm.] and not wider than
y%"
[3,2 mm.]. Valve seat width is
vital.
Too wide
a
seat can cause seat burning as it
tends
to trap
and
hold carbon particles. Seats that are too
narrow
will
not transfer heat to the coolant rapidly enough to keep the valves in proper operating condition.
When
a valve seat has been refaced several times
or
where it must be cut deeply for adequate recon
ditioning, the seat may
become
too wide for efficient
operation. Narrow the seat without changing its
position in relation to the valve face by using a
valve seat relief counterbore above the seat and a valve seat narrowing cutter below the seat. These
operations are performed only after the valve
seats
have been refaced and then only when necessary.
The
finished valve seat should contact the approximate center of the valve face.
Check
by applying
an
extremely thin coat of pencil lead or bearing-
fitting blue to the seat.
Then
install and rotate the
valve with light pressure. Blue (or pencil
marks)
will
transfer to the face of the valve. If the blue
is near the top
edge
of the valve face, lower the valve seat by using the valve seat relief counter-
bore. If the blue is transferred to the
bottom
edge
of the valve face, raise the seat by using the valve
seat narrowing cutter.
When
the valve seat can no longer be corrected, it
is advisable to investigate installing seat inserts.
D-60.
Exhaust
Valve Seat Insert Replacement
Hardened
valve seat inserts for exhaust valves
will
seldom require replacement. To avoid damaging the blcck, remove an insert with a tool designed for
this purpose.
When
installing a new insert, make certain the
counterbore is clean and smooth. Use a driver that
will
keep the insert in true alignment with the bore.
Cool
the insert and the installing tool with dry ice
for 30 minutes.
Note:
The insert should be sufficiently cooled
to permit installation with light taps; excessive
driving
of the insert may cock it in the counterbore
or
crack the insert.
Make
certain the valve seat is facing out.
Drive
in
the insert with the tool until it
bottoms
in the counterbore. After installation, grind the valve
seat at an angle of 45° and then check with a
dial
indicator
as shown in Fig. D-21.
D-61.
Valve Guide Replacement
Damaged,
loose,
or worn valve
guides
must be re
placed.
Use valve guide driver W-238 or equivalent
to drive out the old guides. When replacing valve
guides, maximum
engine
performance can be se
cured
only when the guide is positioned correctly

Belt matic adjuster, to prevent lash in the valve operat
ing linkage. Hydraulic valve lifters also provide
a
cushion of oil to absorb operating shocks. As shown in Fig. Dl-3, all parts of a hydraulic lifter
are
housed in the body, which is the cam follower.
At
the beginning of valve operation, the valve lifter body rests on the camshaft base circle.
Plunger
spring tension prevents lash clearances in the valve linkage.
As
the camshaft forces the valve lifter body up
ward,
both oil in the lower chamber and check
ball
spring
tension firmly seat the check ball against the plunger to prevent appreciable
loss
of oil from
the lower chamber. Oil pressure forces the plunger
upward,
with the body, to operate the valve linkage.
As
the camshaft rotates to closed-valve position, the valve spring forces the linkage and lifter down
ward.
When the
engine
valve seats, the linkage
parts
and plunger stop, but the plunger spring forces
the body downward .002" to .003"
[0,050
a
0,076
mm.] until it again rests on the camshaft base
circle.
Oil pressure then forces the check ball away
from
its seat and allows passage of oil past the check ball into the lower chamber.
This
replaces
the slight amount of oil lost by leakage. During
the valve opening and closing operation, a very
slight amount of oil escapes
between
plunger and body, and returns to the crankcase.
This
slight
loss
of oil (leak-down) is beneficial. It provides a
gradual
change of oil in the valve lifter; fresh oil
enters the lower chamber at the end of each cycle
of operation. 77
