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

Remove Valve Tappets
Remove the intake and exhaust valve tappets from
the
bottom
or crankshaft side of the cylinder block
after the camshaft has been removed. Tag each
tappet or place them in a marked
rack
so they may be reassembled in their original positions.
D-30.
Remove Oil
Gallery
Plugs
Remove the plug at each end of the oil gallery in the cylinder block.
This
operation is only applicable
when the
engine
is out of the vehicle and
will
allow access to the oil gallery so it may be cleaned.
D-31. ENGINE INSPECTION
AND
REPAIR
The
inspection and repair procedures detailed here
in
are recommended to be followed when a com
plete
engine
overhaul is to be made with the
engine
out of the vehicle. These instructions can generally be applied individually with the
engine
in the
vehicle. Wherever the procedure differs due to
the
engine
being in the vehicle, the necessary
special
instructions are provided. Inspection and
repair
instructions are included to cover the
cylinder
block, cylinder head, crankshaft and bearings, connecting rods and bearings, oil pump, valves and tappets, pistons and rings, flywheel,
timing gears, and the camshaft and bearings. In addition, fitting operations for
these
engine
com
ponents
are included.
Important:
Before the inspection and repair pro
cedures listed below are begun, the
engine
serial
number must be checked for the presence of
code
letters denoting undersize bearings or oversize
pistons. Refer to Par. D-2.
D-32.
Cylinder
Block
The
cylinder block must be thoroughly cleaned, inspected and repaired as detailed in the following
paragraphs.
D-33.
Cleaning
The
cylinder block may be steam cleaned or cleaned
with
a suitable solvent. A scraper is recommended
to remove
hard
deposits, except on highly finished surfaces. Special attention must be directed to the
cleaning of the oil passages, valve chamber,
crank
case, and cylinder walls to remove all sludge,
dirt
and
carbon deposits. After cleaning, use air pressure to dry the block thoroughly.
D-34. Inspection
Examine
the cylinder block for minute cracks and
fractures.
Rusted valve springs or evidence of rust
in
the valve chamber or the cylinder walls is a
good
indication of a possible
crack
in the block,
a.
Examine all machined surfaces of the cylinder block for
burrs
and scores.
Check
for cylinder block
distortion by placing a straight
edge
along the
length of the cylinder head surface of the block.
With
a feeler
gauge,
check for clearance
between
the straight
edge
and the block, particularly be
tween adjacent cylinders. Maximum permissible
out of line for service is .010"
[0,254
mm.] over the
full
length of the block. 45

which
correctly positions the guides. See Fig. D-23. Start a new exhaust valve guide, blunt (nontapered)
end
first,

the valve guide bore in the top of the cylinder block. When properly positioned, the
top end of the guide is exactly
1
"
[25,4 mm.] below
the level of the top of the block as shown in Fig.
D-24.
Start
a new intake valve guide, tapered end
first, into position from the
bottom
of the cylinder
head.
When properly positioned, the end of the
guide is just flush with the end of the valve guide
bore in the cylinder head as shown in Fig. D-24.
Run
a reamer (Tool
C-3 8)
through the new
guides
after they have been correctly positioned.
D-62. Tappets
and
Cover
The
valve tappets are lubricated through oil troughs cast in the crankcase. The troughs are
filled by oil sprayed from the connecting rod ends
and
passages are drilled through the tappet
guides
to
carry
the oil to the tappets. A
groove
around the center of the tappet shank carries the oil up and down the guide.
Check
the threads and fit of the exhaust valve ad
justing
screw in the exhaust valve tappets. The fit of a screw should be such that a wrench is required to
turn
it into or out of the tappet as
these
are of
the self-locking type. Replace the worn part, either
the screw or the tappet, or both, if there is
loose
ness
between
the parts.
D-63.
Crankshaft Rear Bearing Seal
Oil
leakage through the
rear
main bearing is pre vented by a metal supported neoprene lip type
seal
which can readily be installed without remov
ing the crankshaft.
Should
trouble be experienced with oil leaking
from
the
rear
main bearing there are several points
which
should be checked.
a.
Be sure that the identifying paint daub on the
bearing
cap is the same as that appearing on the
center bearing web.
b.
The bearing to crankshaft clearance must not
exceed .0029"
[0,0736
mm.].
c.
Place sealer on the faces of the
rear
bearing cap
from
the
rear
oil
groove
to the oil seal grooves.
d-
Be sure the rubber oil seals extend about 34" [6 mm.] below the
bottom
face of the cap.
e.
Be sure the oil pan gasket is not leaking.
f.
Check
to be sure the oil leak is not at the cam
shaft
rear
bearing expansion plug or from the
crankcase.
D-64.
Floating Oil
Intake •
Refer to Fig. D-25 and D-26.
The
floating oil intake is attached to the
bottom
of the crankcase with two screws. The float and
screen causes it to ride, raise and lower with the
amount of oil in the pan.
This
prevents water or
dirt,
which
may have accumulated in the
bottom
of the oil pan, from circulating through the
engine
because the oil is drawn horizontally from the top
surface.
Whenever removed, the float, screen, and
tube should be cleaned thoroughly to remove any
accumulation
of
dirt.
Also clean the oil pan.
Fluctuating
oil pressure can usually be traced to
an
air leak
between
the oil float support and the
crankcase.
Be
sure the float support flange is flat.
Clean
both
the flange and the crankcase surfaces thoroughly
before installing a new gasket. Be sure the retaining
screws are tight.
D-65. Oil
Pump
The
oil pump is located externally on the left side
of the engine. In operation oil is drawn from the
crankcase
through the floating oil intake then passes through a drilled passage in the crankcase
to the pump from which it is forced through
drilled
passages to the crankshaft and camshaft
bearings. When it is necessary to remove an oil
pump,
first remove the distributor cover and
note
the position of the distributor rotor so that the pump may be reinstalled without disturbing the
ignition timing. To install the pump without dis
turbing
the timing, the pump gear must be cor
rectly
meshed with the camshaft driving gear to
allow
engagement
of the key on the distributor shaft with the pump shaft slot, without changing the position of the distributor rotor. Distributor
can
be installed only in one position as the slot and
driving
key are machined off-center.
The
oil pump consists of an inner and outer rotor
within
the pump body. An oil relief valve is mounted in the pump body which controls the oil
pressure.
To disassemble the pump, Fig. D-27, first remove the gear which is retained by straight
pin.
It
will
be necessary to file off one end of the
pin
before driving it out with a small drift. By re
moving the cover the outer rotor and the inner
rotor
and shaft may be removed through the cover opening.
Failure
of the pump to operate at
full
efficiency may usually be traced to excessive
end float of the rotors or excessive clearance be tween the rotors. The clearance
between
the outer
rotor
and the pump body should also be checked.
Match
the rotors
together
with one
lobe
of the inner
rotor
pushed as far as possible into the notch of the outer rotor. Measure the clearance
between
the
lobes
of the rotors as shown in
Fig.
D-28.
This
clear ance should be .010"
[0,254
mm.] or less.
If
more, replace both rotors. Measure the clearance
between
the outer rotor and the pump body as
shown in Fig. D-29. Should this clearance exceed .012" [0,305 mm.] the fault is probably in the
pump body and it should be replaced. End float
of the rotors is controlled by the thickness of the cover gasket which is made of special material that
can
be only slightly compressed. Never use other
than
a standard factory gasket.
Check
the cover
to be sure the inner surface is not rough or scored
and
that it is flat within .001" [0,025 mm.]
tested
with
feeler
gauges,
Fig. D-30. Measure thickness of
the rotors which must be within .001" [0,025 mm.]
of each other. Assemble the rotors in the pump body and install the cover without the gasket.
When
the cover screws are tightened to normal
tension, there should be interference
between
the
rotors and the cover making it impossible to
turn
the pump shaft by hand. Remove the cover and re- 57

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.

Crankcase
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.
