cleaned, by soaking in a reliable carburetor clean­
ing solution and drying with low pressure dry air.
b.
Hurricane
F4 Engine.

Ventilation
of the
Hurricane
F4
engine
is accom­
plished in the same manner as the Dauntless V-6

engine
described above, the differences being that clean air enters the crankcase through a
hose
con­ nected
between
the top cover of the air cleaner and
the oil filler tube of the engine. The ventilation valve is screwed to a pipe fitting mounted in the
center of the intake manifold
between
number two

and
three cylinder inlet. A
hose
connects the venti­
lation valve to a vapor
dome
on the rocker arm
cover. Service procedures are the same as
those

used on the Dauntless V-6 engine. The valve may be checked for vacuum
pull
by removing the
hose

from
the valve while running the
engine
at fast idle speed and placing a finger on the valve opening to
check the vacuum. (Refer to Fig. C-9).

Service
Manifold
Heat
Control
Valve
The
Dauntless V-6
engine
is equipped with a mani­fold heat control valve (Fig. F-6). Test the valve
for free operation. Place a few drops of penetrating

oil
at each end of the shaft where it passes through
the manifold.
Then
move
the valve up and down

a
few times to work the oil into the bushing. When
the
engine
is cold, the valve should be in the closed
position to ensure a fast warm-up of the intake
manifold for better fuel vaporization. When the
valve is closed, the counterweight is in its counter­ clockwise position. As the
engine
warms the coun­
terweight slowly rotates clockwise until the valve is fully open.

C-8.
Check
Valve
Tappet
Clearance
a.
Hurricane
F4 Engine.

With
the
engine
cold, check and adjust the intake
valve to .018"
[0,460
mm.] clearance and the ex­
haust valves to .016" [0,406 mm.] clearance. The
intake valves are adjusted by removing the rocker

arm
cover mounted on the cylinder head.
Turn
the
engine
over until No. 1 cylinder piston is on top
dead center on its compression stroke, then using a
feeler
gauge
check the clearance
between
the valve stem and the toe of the rocker arm. If clearance is

less
or greater than .018"
[0,460
mm.] the valve
must be adjusted by turning the rocker arm nut
clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to in­ crease the clearance. When No. 1 cylinder intake
valve has been properly set use the same proce­
dures to check and reset, if necessary, the remaining
three cylinder valves. The exhaust valves are ad­ justed by removing the tappet cover located on
the right side of the engine. Place the cylinder to
be adjusted on top dead center (compression stroke) and check the clearance
between
the valve stem and tappet screw with a feeler
gauge.
If the
clearance is
less
or greater than .016" [0,406 mm.]
the valve must be adjusted by loosening the tappet
screw locknut and turning the screw until the proper clearance is obtained, then tighten the lock-
nut.

Note:
Always recheck the valve clearance after
tightening the locknut.
b. Dauntless V-6 Engine.

The
valve tappet clearance of the Dauntless V-6

engine
needs
no adjustment as the lifters are

hydraulic
and require no lash adjustment at time
of assembly or while in service.

C-9.
Check
Engine
Cylinder
Compression
a.
Hurricane
F4 Engine.

To
take the compression readings of the
engine
cylinders
remove all the
spark
plugs and disconnect
the high tension wire from the coil.
With
the throttle and choke open
turn
the
engine
with the

starter
motor while firmly holding the compression
gauge
in the
spark
plug port of the cylinder to be
checked. Allow at least four compression strokes
when checking each cylinder and record the first
and
fourth stroke reading of the
gauge.

When
pressure quickly
comes
up to specified pres­

sure
and is uniform
between
all cylinders within 10 psi. [0,7 kg-cm2] it indicates that the
engine
is
operating normally with satisfactory seating of

rings,
valves, valve timing, etc.
When
pressure is low on the first stroke and builds
up to
less
than specified pressure it indicates com­
pression leakage usually attributable to rings or
valves. To determine which is responsible, pour
Vz
oz. [15 cm3] of tune-up oil into each cylinder.

Allow
a few minutes for the oil to leak down past
the rings and then again
test
compression. If com­
pression pressures improve over the first
test,
the trouble is probably worn piston rings and bores. If
compression pressures do not improve, the trouble
is probably caused by improper valve seating. If
this condition is noticed on only two cylinders that
are adjacent, it indicates that there is a possible gasket leak
between
these
cylinders. If inspection
of the
spark
plugs from
these
cylinders disclosed
fouling or surface cracking of electrodes, gasket leakage is probable.

When
pressure is higher than normal it indicates
that carbon
deposits
in the combustion chamber have reduced the side of the chamber enough to
give
the
effect
of a raised compression ratio.
This

will
usually cause a pinging sound in the
engine
when under load that cannot be satisfactorily cor­rected by timing. The carbon must be cleaned out
of the
engine
cylinders to correct this trouble.

Reinstall
the
spark
plugs. Torque with a wrench
to proper setting.

Advise
the vehicle owner if compression is not satisfactory. 24

VALVE
ADJUSTMENT

Proper
valve adjustment is important to prevent
burning
of valves and poor
engine
performance.

This
adjustment consists of obtaining a specified

lash
in the valve mechanism. The exhaust valve
tappets and the intake valve rocker arms should be adjusted to the proper clearance with the
engine

cold (at room temperature). Valve clearance can
be properly adjusted only when the tappet is on the
heel or low portion of the cam.

TIMING
D-108. Valve Adjustment Procedure

The
exhaust valve tappets are adjusted by turning
the adjusting screw in or out of the tappet as neces­
sary
to obtain the proper clearance. Where special
wrenches can be obtained, they should be used to facilitate the adjustment. The proper clearance is .016" [0,406 mm.]
between
the end of the adjusting
screw and the
bottom
of the exhaust valve.

Crank
the
engine
over to
close
a valve and check
the clearance with a feeler
gauge.
To adjust, hold
the tappet with one wrench and
turn
the adjusting

screw,
with the other.
Check
and adjust each of
the tappets in proper sequence.

Adjust
each intake valve by adjusting the rocker
arm
screw at the push rod to obtain .018" [0,457 mm.] clearance
between
the rocker arm and the
valve stem with tappet on the heel of the cam.
D-109.
Check
Valve
Timing

To
check the valve timing, carefully set the intake
valve rocker arm adjustment for No. 1 cylinder to .026"
[0,6604
mm.]
between
the rocker arm and the
valve stem. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until
the piston in No. 1 cylinder is ready for the intake stroke. The intake valve
opens
9° before top center
(BTC).
Note
the distance
between
the
"TC"
and
"5°"
marks on the indicator on the timing gear
cover and estimate the 9° before top center position.
See
Fig.
D-43.
With
the crankshaft in this position, timing is correct if the rocker arm is just tight
against the intake valve stem. Do not overlook resetting the rocker arm adjustment to the correct

running
clearance.
D-110. Positive

Ventilation

Be
sure there are no air leaks at the tube connec­
tions
between
the air cleaner and the oil filler tube,

and
that the oil filler tube cap gasket is in
good

condition. Always keep the cap locked securely in
place. When tuning the
engine
or grinding valves, remove the control valve and clean it thoroughly.
If
the valve is blocked with carbon, the ventilating
system
will
not operate and, should the valve

fail
to seat, it
will
be impossible to make the
engine

idle satisfactorily. Refer to Par. C-6 for servicing.

Exhaust Manifold

The
exhaust manifold is provided with a
boss
that is drilled and tapped at each cylinder to accept the

air
delivery manifold and injection tubes.

MAINTENANCE

Efficient
performance of the exhaust emission con­
trol
system is dependent upon precise maintenance.
In
addition to the air pump and connecting
hoses

and
tubes, this system's efficiency is dependent
upon special carburetor calibration, distributor cen­

trifugal
advance curve and ignition timing setting

which
must be adjusted at 0 or top dead center.

Road
test
is a factory recommended optional serv­ ice every
6,000
miles
[9,600
km.] to evaluate over­

all
performance.

The
following procedure is recommended to assist
in
diagnosing performance and/or emission level
problems that are peculiar to
Exhaust
Emission

Control
System equipped vehicles.

Fl-12.
Carburetor

Check
carburetor number for proper application. (Specifications are listed at the end of this section)

Check
the dash pot and adjust as required.

Proper
carburetor idle mixture adjustment is im­
perative for
best
exhaust emission control.
The
idle adjustment should be made with the en­
gine
at normal operating temperature and air
cleaner
in place. Adjust the throttle
stop
screw to
idle the
engine
at specified RPM. All lights and accessories must be turned off.

Method of Idle Setting is as
follows:

a.
Any scheduled service of ignition system should
precede this adjustment

b.
Connect tachometer to engine.

c.

until
maximum speed (rpm) is reached. Continue

turning
in (clockwise) until speed begins to drop;

turn
mixture adjustment back out (counterclock­
wise-richer)
until maximum speed is just regained

at
a "lean as possible" mixture adjustment.

F2-18. Distributor
The
ignition distributor used with the
Exhaust
Emission
Control
System is the same as that used
on
engines
without
Exhaust
Emission
Control.
Check
the distributor cam dwell angle and point
condition.
Check
ignition timing and adjust to specifications shown on the last
page
of this section.

F2-19.
Anti-Backfire
Valve

The
anti-backfire valve remains closed except when
the throttle is closed rapidly from an open position.
To
check the valve for proper operation, accelerate
the
engine
in neutral, allowing the throttle to close

rapidly.
The valve is operating satisfactorily when
no exhaust system backfire occurs. A further check
to determine whether the valve is functioning can
be made by removing from the anti-backfire valve
the large
hose
which connects the valve to the

pump.
With
a finger placed over the open end of
the
hose
(not the valve), accelerate the
engine
and allow the throttle to close rapidly. The valve is
operating satisfactorily if a momentary air rushing
noise is audible.

F2-20.
Check
Valve

The
check valves in the lines to the air distribution manifolds prevent the reverse flow of exhaust
gases

to the pump in the event the pump should, for

any
reason,
become
inoperative or should exhaust

pressure
ever exceed pump pressure.

To
check this valve for proper operation, remove the air supply
hose
from the pump at the check

valve.
With
the
engine
running, listen for exhaust
leakage at the check valve which is connected to
the distribution manifold.

F2-21.
Air
Pump

Check
for proper drive belt tension with belt tension
gauge
W-283. The belt strand tension should be 60 pounds measured on the
longest
accessible span
between two pulleys. DO NOT PRY ON THE

DIE
CAST
PUMP
HOUSING. To
check the pump for proper operation, remove
the air
outlet
hose
at the pump.
With
the
engine

running,
air discharge should be felt at one of
the pump
outlet
openings. The pump
outlet
air
pressure,
as determined by the relief valve, is preset
and
is not adjustable.

The
air pump
rear
cover assembly, housing the pressed in inlet and discharge tubes, and the pres­
sure
relief valve are the only pump components
recommended for service replacement. These parts
are
to be replaced only when damaged as a result
of handling or in the event the relief valve was
tampered with.

F2-22.
Intake Manifold

Intake
manifold leaks must not be overlooked. Air
leakage at the intake manifold may be compen­
sated for by
richer
idle mixture setting, however, this
will
usually cause uneven fuel-air distribution
and
will
always result in
loss
of performance and
exhaust emission control. To check for air leakage
into the intake manifold, apply kerosene or naph­
tha,
on the intake manifold to cylinder head joints

and
observe whether any changes in
engine
rpm

occur.
If an air leak is indicated, check the mani­
fold to cylinder head bolt torque. The correct torque is 25-35 lbs. ft. [3,46 a 4,84 kg-m.]. If the

leak
is
still
evident,
loosen
the manifold assembly

and
torque-tighten the bolts evenly.
Start
from the center and use proper torque values. Replace the
manifold
gasket if the leak
still
exists.
Clean
both
mating surfaces and check for
burrs
or other ir­

regularities.

Always
torque the bolts evenly to the specified
torque value to prevent warpage.

F2-23.
Carburetor
Air
Cleaner
—Oil
Bath

Every
6,000
miles [9,600 km.] disconnect attach­

ing
hoses
and unscrew the wing nut from the top
of the air cleaner and lift it off the carburetor.

Lift
the cover and filter element off the oil sump.

Clean
the inside surface of the sump and
refill
to

indicated
oil level with SAE 40 or 50
engine
oil
above 32 F; SAE 20 below 32 F.
Wash
filter element in kerosene and
drain.
Reassemble the air

cleaner
and install on carburetor.

More
frequent cleaning and replacement are advis­ able when the car is operated in dusty areas or on

unpaved
roads. Accumulated
dirt
restricts air flow,
reducing
fuel economy and performance.
