GENERAL
An
engine tune-up should be performed for all
Jeep Vehicles each 6000 miles [9.600 km.] or at the end of each 250 hours off-the-road operation,
to ensure best possible performance at all times.
The
tune-up should follow the sequence given in
this section.
Because of federal laws limiting exhaust emissions,

it
is even more important that the engine tune-up is
done
accurately, using the specifications listed
on the tune-up sticker found in each engine com­

partment.

Note;
To ensure proper operation and effectiveness
of the exhaust emission control system, and to
comply with
Federal
and State requirements, a
recheck
of ignition timing, idle speed and idle mix­

ture
and necessary adjustments must be performed
after the first
2,000
miles [3.200 km.] of vehicle
operation.

A
minor engine tune-up should be performed every
6,000
miles [9.600 km.] or at the end of 250 hours
of off-the-road use.
Major
engine tune-up should
be performed every 12,000 miles [19.300 km.].

The
parts of units which affect power and perform­
ance may be divided into three groups:
(1) Units affecting compression
(2) Units affecting ignition
(3) Units affecting carburetion

The
tune-up procedure should cover
these
groups
in
the order given. While the items affecting com­
pression and ignition may be handled according
to personal preference, correction of items in the
carburetion
group should not be attempted until

all
items affecting compression and ignition have
been satisfactorily corrected.

Note:
To make sure hydro-carbon and carbon
monoxide emissions
will
be within limits, it is very

impotrant
that the adjustments be followed exactly
as listed on the sticker found in each engine compartment.

hose
and insert a stiff wire into the valve
body and observe whether or not the plunger can be readily moved (Fig. C-8). The valve may be
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).

C-7.
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

Description

The
Hurricane
F4-134
engine
is an F-head, four-
cyiinder
engine
of combination valve-in-head and valve-in-block construction.
Large
intake valves
mounted in the head allow
rapid,
unobstructed
flow of fuel and air to the combustion chambers through short, water-jacketed intake passages.The
intake valves are operated by push rods through

rocker
arms. The exhaust valves are mounted

in
the block with through water jacketing to provide
effective
cooling. The exhaust valves are
operated by conventional valve tappets.
The
engine
is pressure lubricated. An oil pump

driven
from the camshaft forces the lubricant
through oil channels and drilled passages in the

crankshaft
to efficiently lubricate the main and
connecting rod bearings.
Lubricant
is also force
fed to the camshaft bearings, rocker arms, timing
gears, etc.
Cylinder
walls and piston pins are

lubricated
from spurt
holes
in the "follow" side of
the connecting rods.
Circulation
of the coolant is controlled by a
thermostat in the water
outlet
elbow cast as part
of the cylinder head.

The
cylinder head assembly when installed on the

engine
consists of the inlet valve guides, inlet valves, inlet valve springs, rocker arm and shaft assemblies, spark plugs, temperature indicator
fitting, water
outlet
fitting, and other assembled

parts.
The carburetor and air cleaner assembly
bolt to the top of the cylinder head. The rocker

arm
cover is attached to the top of the head to
enclose
the inlet valve mechanism.
The
engine
is equipped with a fully counterbalanced
crankshaft
supported by three main bearings. To better control balance, the counterweights are in­
dependently forged and permanently attached to
the crankshaft with dowels and cap screws that are tack-welded.
Crankshaft
end play is adjusted by
shims placed
between
the crankshaft thrust washer

and
the shoulder on the crankshaft.
The
exhaust manifold is a separate unit. The intake
manifold is cast as an integral part of the cylinder
head and is completely water jacketed.
This
con­
struction transfers heat from the cooling system
to the intake passages and assists in vaporizing
the fuel when the
engine
is cold. Therefore, there
is no heat control valve required in the exhaust manifold. Individual exhaust ports in the cylinder
block direct
gasses
into the exhaust manifold for unobstructed flow through the exhaust system.

The
pistons have an extra
groove
directly above
the top ring which acts as a heat dam or insulator.
As
is common practice with manufacturers,
some

engines
are built with oversize cylinder bores or undersize crankshaft journals. These
engines
are
considered standard as replacement parts of the

correct
sizes are supplied. Before ordering parts or
doing any work with a particular engine, it is important to check the
engine
code
number to
determine if oversize or undersize parts are re­

quired.
Definite identification is given by a letter
stamped after the
engine
code
number. See Fig.

Cylinder
Bores

The
cylinder bores may be reconditioned by honing
or
reboring. Use oil-soaked rags to protect
crank­

shaft
journals
and other
engine
parts from abrasive
dust during all reconditioning operations.

Both
honing and reboring of the cylinders must be
done
carefully to fit the pistons and to obtain
specified clearances. If reboring of the cylinder bores is not required but the walls are glazed, use

a
finishing
hone
to remove the glaze. Reboring the cylinders must not be attempted unless ade­
quate facilities and experienced service technicians
are
available. The amount of material to be re­moved is determined from the original diameter
of the cylinder bores (3.125" to 3.127") [79,375 a
79,426
mm.] plus the amount of oversize in diameter
of the oversize pistons to be fitted. Pistons are
available
in the following oversizes.
.010"
[0,254
mm.] .030" [0,762 mm.] .020" [0,508 mm.] .040" [1,016 mm.}

The
largest cylinder bore
will
determine the over­
size to which all cylinders must be rebored, since the size and weight of all pistons must be uniform
to maintain proper
engine
balance. The maximum rebore should not exceed .040" [1,016 mm.] from

standard.
Measure
the cylinder diameters by making mea­
surements both parallel to and at right angles to
crankshaft
over entire piston travel and at
bottom

of cylinder. Proceed as follows:

a.
If bores are scored; if out-of-round
exceeds
.005
"
[0,127 mm.]; if diameters differ more than .005";

or
if taper
exceeds
.005
"
on diameter, it is generally
recommended that cylinders be reconditioned by
reboring
and honing to the next oversize using new
pistons of the proper size.

Note:
If reboring is performed, allow .0015"
[0,0381
mm.] for final honing.

All
cylinder bore diameters must be within .002
"
[0,0508
mm.] after reconditioning.

b.
If bore measurements are within the above

limits,
but indicate hollows or waviness, cylinders should be honed with 250 grit
stone
hone. Pump
hone
up and down in cylinder while it is rotating
to produce a satin-finish, diamond cross-hatched

pattern
approximately 30° with horizontal. Hone
only enough to correct waviness.
c. If cylinder bore correction is unnecessary, break the glaze on cylinder walls with a 250 grit
stone

hone
or with a suitable deglazing tool. Operate the
hone
or deglazer to obtain diamond cross-hatched

pattern
previously mentioned.

d.
Regardless of type of correction on cylinder
walls,
wash out bores thoroughly afterwards and
apply
a light coat of
engine
oil. If cylinders have
been rebored or honed heavily, measure cylinder
diameters again to assure proper selection of piston
size.

D-36.
Pistons, Rings, and Connecting Rods
Pistons are each fitted with three rings, two com­ pression rings and one oil control
ring.
The pistons have an extra
groove
above the top ring which acts as a heat dam or insulating
groove
to protect
against sealing of the top ring in the ring
groove

with
hard
carbon. The piston pin is secured by the lock screw.

The
pistons and connecting rods were removed from
the
engine
as assemblies. If cylinders were rebored,
new oversized pistons and rings
will
have to be in­

stalled.

Disassemble the pistons and rods. Remove the
two compression rings, the oil control
ring,
and the oil control ring expander from each piston. Do not remove the
bolts
from the lower end of the
connecting rods unless the
bolts
are damaged.
Clamp
each connecting rod and piston assembly

in
a padded bench vise and remove the piston pin

lock
screw and lockwasher. Press the piston pin
out of the piston and connecting rod.
Clean
all
carbon,
gum, and lacquer
deposits
from both the

inner
and outer surfaces of each piston, connecting

rod,
and piston pin. Use a ring
groove
cleaner or a
broken
ring filed to a sharp square
edge
to clean
the carbon from the piston ring
grooves
and the

insulator
groove. Use care not to scrape metal from
the sides of the
grooves
or make
burrs
on ring
groove
surfaces. Run a length of wire through the

oil
spray
hole
near the lower end of the connecting

rod
to clear the
hole
of hardened oil
deposits
or
foreign matter.
Carefully
inspect the pistons and
replace
any that are broken or cracked. Replace
pistons if any of the ring lands are chipped, broken,
or
rounded on the
edges;
or if the piston is scored,

scratched,
or burned so seriously that the imperfec­
tions cannot be removed with a hand honing
stone

or
crocus cloth.

Replace
the pistons as follows:

a.
After cylinder bores have been carefully checked for out-of-round and taper (Par. D-35), check fit
of each piston to cylinder bore with block and
pistons clean and dry and at approximately 70
°F.
[21°C]
by using Piston Fitting Gauge And Scale

Tool
No. C-690 as shown in Fig. D-7. Use a .003"
[0,0762
mm.] thickness
gauge
%" [19 mm.] wide.

The
piston is fitted upside down in the block to
facilitate the operation. The
gauge
must extend the
full
length of the piston on the thrust side
(opposite

side from slot in piston
skirt).
Scale should register
5
to 10 pounds [2,3 a 4,5 kg.]
pull
to remove the
thickness
gauge
from
between
cylinder
wall
and piston. Excessive
pull
indicates need for a slightly

smaller
piston or additional honing of cylinder. In­ sufficient
pull
indicates need for fitting a larger piston. 47

ENGINE
DESCRIPTION

The
Dauntless V-6
engine
has a displacement of
225 cubic inches. It has a compression ratio of
9.0 to 1, which permits use of regular-grade
gaso­

line.
See
Figs.
Dl-1 and Dl-2.

The
cylinder block is made of cast
iron.
Two banks
of cylinders (three cylinders per bank) are cast at a
90-degree
angle. The lower part of the cylinder-

block
extends
below the centerline of the
crank­
shaft, forming a continuous flat surface with the

rear
crankshaft main bearing cap and the timing

chain
cover.
This
design allows installation of an
oil
pan with a
one-piece
gasket. The cylinders in
the left bank (as viewed from the driver's seat) are
numbered
1-3-5,
from front to
rear.
The cylinders

in
the right bank are numbered
2-4-6,
from front
to
rear.

The
crankshaft is supported in the cylinder block
by four steel-backed full-precision bearings, all of

which
have an identical diameter.
Crankshaft
main bearings are numbered 1 to 4, front to
rear.
The

thrust
bearing is flanged to maintain crankshaft position and to compensate against crankshaft end

thrust
The No. 2 bearing is the thrust bearing.

The
crankshaft is counterbalanced by weights,
which
are cast integral with the
crank
cheeks. The

weights
are shaped to a contour which
gives
mini­
mum
clearance with cylinder barrels and piston

skirts
to conserve space.

Connecting
rods have I-beam sections with
bosses

on each side. Metal is removed, as required, to secure correct weight and balance. The lower end
of each connecting rod has a steel-backed preci­
sion bearing. The piston pin is a press fit into the upper end. The outer ends of the piston pin

are
a slide fit in the piston
bosses.

The
full-skirted, aluminum alloy pistons are cam ground and tin plated. Two compression rings and
one oil control ring are installed above the piston
pin.
The cast iron compression rings in the two

upper
grooves
of the piston have a
groove
or bevel cut around the inner
edge
on one side. The
top compression ring is installed with this
groove
or
bevel up. The lower compression ring is installed

with
bevel down. The oil
ring,
in the lower groove,
consists of two thin steel
rails
separated by a

spacer.
It is backed by a hump-type spring-steel
expander.

V-6
engine
cylinder heads are made of cast
iron.

Their
valve
guides
are cast integrally. Right and left cylinder heads are identical and interchange­
able. In service, however, it is
good
practice to
install
the cylinder heads on the side from which
they were removed.

The
valves are in line in each head, at an angle
10°
above the centerline of the cylinder bores.

Each
valve has a spring strong enough to ensure
positive valve seating throughout the operating speed range of the engine. The valve rocker arm
mechanism is protected by a
sheet
metal cover.
This
cover is seated on a raised surface of the
cylinder
head. It is gasketed to prevent oil leaks.

The
rocker arms for each bank of cylinders are mounted on a tubular steel shaft, supported on
the cylinder head by brackets. The rocker arms
are
made of aluminum. They have inserts at the

push
rod socket and the valve stem contact face.

The
camshaft is located above the crankshaft be­
tween the two cylinder banks; it is supported in
four steel-backed babbitt-metal bearings. The cam­ shaft is driven at one-half crankshaft speed by
sprockets and a single outside-guide type chain.

Hydraulic
valve lifters and
one-piece
push rods operate overhead rocker arms and valves of both

banks
of cylinders from a single camshaft.
This

system requires no lash adjustment during assem­
bly
or in service.

In
addition to its normal function of a cam follower,
each hydraulic valve lifter also serves as an auto- 76
