Dwell

Using
a dwell tester, connect red
lead
to the
distri­

butor terminal at coil. Connect black lead to
ground.
Set selector switch to the number of
cylin­

ders in the
engine
being tested. Operate
engine
speed at specified rpm. and
note
readings. Cam

dwell
angle must be 30° for the Dauntless V-6
Delco equipped engine, 29° ±: 3° Prestolite equipped
engine
and 42° for the
Hurricane
F4 engine. If the dwell reading is not to specifications,
trouble could be improper point spacing, point

rubbing,
defective block or breaker arm, or mis­
aligned and worn distributor cam.
Adjust
dwell
as shown in Fig. C-14 for the Delco equipped
Dauntless V-6 engine. For cam dwell adjustment
of the Prestolite equipped V6 and
Hurricane
F4 engine, refer to Par. C-10,
step
a.

Dwell
variation is determined by noting any
dwell
change as the
engine
is operated at different
speeds.

Excessive
variation indicates a change in point opening that can result from shaft or bushing wear,

or
from the distributor plate shifting because of

wear
or
looseness.

Measure
dwell variation at idle speed, using same

test
hookup for checking dwell. Increase speed to 1750 rpm.;
note
dwell reading.
Then
slowly reduce
speed to idle while observing dwell meter. Dwell

variation
should not exceed 3°. If dwell variation
exceeds
3°
between
idle speed and 1750 rpm.,
probable wear in the distributor shaft, bushings, or

breaker
plate is indicated. Distributor should then be checked more thoroughly.

C-l8. Check Ignition Wires
and
Connections

Examine
and clean the insulation on all ignition

wires
and check all connections. Wires should be
firm,
flexible, and free from roughness and minute
cracks.
Bend wires to check for brittle,
cracked,
or

loose
insulation. Since defective insulation
will
per­

mit
crossfiring or missing of the engine, defective

wires
should be replaced.

C-l9. Test Ignition
Cables

To
remove cables from
spark
plugs, use
Spark
Plug
Cable
Remover
Tool
W-274.
Twist
the
boot

slightly to break the seal and, grasping the rubber
protector
boot,
lift straight up with a steady even

pull.
Do not grasp the cable and
jerk
the cable off; this
will
damage the cables. Do not use a probe
on
these
wires; puncturing them may cause a
separation in the conductor. To remove ignition cables from the distributor cap or coil tower,
loosen

the nipple first, then grasp the upper part of the nipple and the cable and gently
pull
straight up.

Test
the cable with an ohmmeter. Resistance value

per
foot
is
3000-7000
ohms. The ignition cables
can
be checked for
circuit
continuity by removing
the cable from the
spark
plug and holding the cable
end Vi" [6,35 mm.] from the engine. A strong

spark
indicates
good
conductor continuity.

When
connecting the cable to the
spark
plug, be
certain
a
good
connection is made and that the
protector
boot
fits tight on the
spark
plug. A
partially
seated cable creates an additional gap in
the
circuit
and the resulting
spark
jump
will
cause

terminal
corrosion and cable damage.

C-20. Coil

When
an ignition coil is suspected of being defec­ tive, it should be checked on the car. A coil may

break
down after it has reached operating tempera­
ture.
It is important that the coil be at operating
temperature when
tests
are made.

Note:
The ignition coil and ballast resistor for the

V-6
engine
must be of the same manufacturer.
Ballast
resistors and ignition coils of one manufac­

turer
are interchangeable with both units of the
other.

C-22.
Check Fuel Lines and
Screens

Check
all fuel line connections to guard against
leakage.
Check
fuel pump filter F4
engine
and
fuel
line filter V-6 engine. Replace fuel filter if
necessary.

C-23. Check Fuel Pump a.
Fuel
pump pressure is important, for low pres­

sure
will
seriously affect
engine
operation and high

pressure
will
cause excessive fuel consumption and
possibly flood the carburetor. Should there be any doubt of normal operation, check the pressure with
a
gauge
as shown in Fig.
C-2 2.
The minimum and

maximum
allowable pressures are 2% to 3% lbs. [0,176 a
0,264
kg-cm2], for the
Hurricane
F4 en­
gine.
Fuel
pump pressure at carburetor (inlet) on
the Dauntless V6-225
engine
should be 3% lbs.
[0,264

All
disassembly and assembly procedures are
presented in logical order, assuming a complete

engine
overhaul with
engine
removed from the vehicle. However, many of
these
procedures can
also be performed as on-vehicle services if vehicle
or
engine
components are removed to gain access
to parts involved.

Note:
Some
engines
are equipped with an exhaust
emission control system. Service information on
the components of this system is given in Section

F-l.
D-2.
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.

A-5
for location. The letters used and their mean­ ings are given here:

Engine Mountings

The
front of the

D
insulator
mountings attached to the frame side

rail
brackets. The
rear
of the engine-transmission
assembly is supported by a rubber insulator
mounting under the
rear
of the transmission on
the frame center cross member.
This
cross member
is bolted to the frame side
rails
so that it can be
dropped when removing the transmission or engine-

transmission
assembly. The rubber insulators allow
free side and vertical oscillation to effectively

neutralize
engine
vibration at the source.

The
rubber
insulator mountings should be inspected
for separation and deterioration by jacking the
power plant away from the frame, near the sup­
ports. Vibration cannot be effectively absorbed by
separated or worn insulators. They should be re­ placed if faulty.

D-4.
Engine
Ground
Strap

To
be sure of an
effective
ground for the electrical

circuits,
a ground strap bridges the right front

engine
support to the chassis. The connections of this strap must be kept clean and tight for proper
operation of the electrical system.

D-5. ENGINE REMOVAL

Should
the
engine
require overhauling, it is neces­

sary
to remove it from the vehicle. The following procedure covers removal of the
engine
only.

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

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

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
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.

which
would cause rings to seat improperly or have
excessive clearance in
ring
grooves. Damaged or
faulty
pistons should be replaced,
c.
Inspect bearing surfaces of piston pins and check

for
wear by measuring worn and unworn surfaces

with
a micrometer. Rough or worn pins should be
replaced.
Test fit the piston pins in piston
bosses.
Occasionally,
a pin
will
be tight due to gum or

varnish
deposits.
This
may be corrected by remov­

ing
the deposit with a suitable solvent. If piston
bosses
are worn out-of-round or oversize, the piston

and
pin assembly must be replaced. Oversize pins
are
not
practical,
since the pin must be a press fit
in
the connecting rod bore. Piston pins must fit the
piston with an easy finger push at
70°F.
[21°C.].

They
should have .0004" to .0007"
[0,0178
a
0,0102
mm.] clearance.

Dl-46.
Piston Fitting

If
cylinder bores are rebored or heavily honed,
new and possibly oversize diameter pistons must be
installed.
A new piston must be fitted to its cylinder

bore.
A satisfactory method of fitting pistons is as
follows.

a.
Expand
a
telescope
gauge
to fit the cylinder bore at right angles to the piston pin and
between
1
Vi"
to 2" [3,7 a 5,1 cm.] from the top.

b.
Measure diameter of the piston to be fitted, as
shown in
Fig.
Dl-15. The piston must be measured

at
right angles to the piston pin, W [6,3 mm.] below the oil
ring
groove. The piston must be be-

Dl-15—MEASURING
PISTON

1—90°
tween .001" and .0015" [0,025 a
0,038

smaller
than the cylinder bore.

Note:
Both cylinder block and piston must be at

very
nearly the same temperature when measure­
ments are made or
errors
due to expansion
will
occur.
A difference of 10°F.
[5,6°C]
between
parts
is sufficient to produce a variation of .0009"
[0,0023
mm.].

The
pistons are cam-ground, which means that the
diameter at a right angle to the piston pin is
greater
than the diameter
parallel
to the piston

pin.
When a piston is checked for size, it must be
measured
with a micrometer applied to the
skirt

along a line
perpendicular
to axis of the piston pin.

Dl-47.
Piston Ring Fitting

When
new piston rings are to be installed without

reboring
cylinders,
the glazed cylinder walls should
be slightly dulled. However, cylinder bore diameter
should
not increase more than necessary.
Cylinder

walls
should be honed with the finest grade of
stone
to remove any glaze.
New compression rings must be checked for clear­ ance in piston
grooves
and for gap in cylinder bores;
however, the flexible oil rings are not checked for gap. The cylinder bores and piston
grooves
must
be clean, dry, and free of carbon and
burrs.

With
rings installed on piston, check clearance in
grooves
by inserting feeler
gauge
between
each
ring

and
its lower
land.
Any
ring
groove
wear
will
form

a
step
at inner portion of the lower
land.
If the
piston
grooves
have worn enough that relatively

high
steps
exist on the lower lands, the piston
should
be replaced because the
steps
will
interfere

with
proper operation of new rings and the
ring
clearances
will
be excessive. Piston rings are not

furnished
in oversize widths to compensate for
ring
groove
wear.

When
fitting new rings to new pistons, the side

clearance
of the compression rings should be .002" to .0035"
[0,051
a
0,089
mm.] for number one (1)

ring,
.003" to .005" [0,076 a 0,127 mm.] for number
two (2)
ring,
and side clearance of the oil
ring
should
be .0015" to .0085" [0,038 a
0,220
mm.].

To
check the end gap of a compression
ring,
place

it
in the cylinder in which it
will
be used, square

it
in the bore by tapping with the lower end of
a
piston, then measure the gap with a feeler
gauge.

A
compression
ring
should not have
less
than .015"
[0,381
mm.] gap when placed in cylinder

bore.
If gap is
less
than specified value, file the
end of the
ring
carefully with a fine file to obtain

proper
gap.

Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly

Note:
A connecting rod can spring out of alignment

in
shipping or handling. Always check a new con­
necting rod for misalignment before installing pis­
ton and pin.

a.
If a new connecting rod is to be installed, check
its alignment with an accurate rod alignment fix­

ture.

b.
If the piston and connecting rod assembly is
to be installed in the left cylinder bank, it must be assembled as shown in
Fig.
Dl-16. If the piston and
connecting rod assembly is to be installed in the
right
cylinder bank, it must be assembled as shown
in
Fig. Dl-17.
Note
that
these
two assemblies are

mirror-images
of each other.
