floating, screened intake that prevents the
circula
tion of any sediment that might accumulate in the
oil
pan. By means of this pump, the main bearing
journals
and crankpins are efficiently lubricated through an oil gallery and passages in the cylinder
block.
Oil
is forced under pressure to the main bear
ings and through the cheeks of the crankshaft to
the connecting rod bearings. Oil is also force-fed
to the camshaft bearings, timing gears, and intake valve rocker arms. The oil pressure is controlled by
relief
valve located in the oil pump. The valve is
designed to open when excessive pressure
develops
in
the system, relieving the pressure and returning the
excess
oil to the oil pan. The cylinder walls,
piston pins, and tappets are supplied with oil from
spurt
holes
in the connecting rods. A portion of the oil is continually passed through an oil filter
which
effectively removes any foreign matter sus pended in the oil. A flanged section on the
rear
of
the crankshaft acts as an oil slinger and, in com
bination with the
rear
main bearing upper and lower oil seal, prevents the leakage of oil from the
rear
end of the cylinder block. Leakage of oil from
the front end of the cylinder block is controlled by the crankshaft oil slinger and the front oil seal
installed in the timing gear cover. The oil pressure
indicator
light in the instrument panel and the oil level
gauge
or dip stick in the side of the
engine
provide a means for checking the oil pressure and
oil
level.
B-5.
Oil Pressure Gauge or Indicator
On
early
CJ-3B
vehicles an oil pressure
gauge
is
mounted on the instrument panel.
This
gauge
in dicates the oil pressure within the
engine
lubri
cating system.
On
Models
CJ-5,
CJ-5A,
CJ-6,
CJ-6A,
DJ-5, DJ-6
and
later production vehicles of Model
CJ-3B
a
red
telltale lamp, which operates when the ignition
switch is turned on, is lit when there is insufficient
oil
pressure to properly lubricate the engine. When
it
goes
out, operating pressure is achieved. In
normal
operation, the light is lit when the ignition
is first turned on. It
goes
out after the vehicle is
in
motion.
Failure
of the
gauge
or indicator to register normal
oil
pressure may indicate insufficient supply of oil
in
the
engine
crankcase, low or no oil pump pres
sure,
or a fault in the
gauge
or indicator electrical
circuit.
The
engine
must be stopped immediately to prevent possible damage to
engine
bearings and
the fault corrected before restarting the engine.

Engine
Lubrication
System — Dauntless V-6 Engine
The
engine
lubrication system (Fig. B-4) is the
force
feed
type in which oil is supplied under pres
sure
to the crankshaft, connecting rods, camshaft bearings and valve lifters. Oil is supplied under controlled volume to the rocker arm bearings and push
rods.
All other moving parts are lubricated by gravity flow or splash.
The
supply of oil is
carried
in the oil pan which is filled through a filter opening in the right rocker
arm
cover. A removable oil
gauge
rod on the left side of the crankcase is provided to check oil level.
The
oil pump is located in the timing chain cover 10

Oil
Inlet where it is connected by a drilled passage in the
cylinder
crankcase to an oil screen housing and
pipe assembly. The screen is submerged in the oil supply and has ample area for all operating condi
tions. If the screen should
become
clogged
for any reason, oil may be drawn into the system over the
top
edge
of the screen, which is held clear of the
sheet
metal screen housing.
Oil
is drawn into the pump through the screen and
pipe assembly and a drilled passage in the
crank
case, which connects to drilled passages in the
timing chain cover. All oil is discharged from the
pump to the oil pump cover assembly. The cover
assembly consists of an oil pressure relief valve,
an
oil filter bypass valve and a nipple for installa
tion of an oil filter. The spring loaded oil pressure
relief
valve limits the oil pressure to a maximum
of 30 pounds [13.607 kg.] per square inch. The
oil
filter bypass valve
opens
when the filter has
become
clogged
to the
extent
that
4V2
to 5 pounds [2.04 a 2.27 kg.] pressure difference exists
between
the filter inlet and exhaust to bypass the oil filter
and
channel unfiltered oil directly to the main oil galleries of the engine.
A
full flow oil filter is externally mounted to the
oil
filter cover nipple on the right side of the en gine, just below the alternator. Normally, all
engine
oil
passes through the filter element; however, if
the element
becomes
restricted, a spring loaded bypass valve
opens
as mentioned above. The main
oil
galleries run the full length of the crankcase
and
cut into the valve lifter guide
holes
to supply
oil
at full pressure to the lifters. Connecting pas
sages
drilled in the crankcase permit delivery of
oil
at full pressure to all crankshaft and camshaft
bearings.
Holes drilled in the crankshaft
carry
oil from the
crankshaft
bearings to the connecting rod bearings.
Pistons and cylinder walls are lubricated by oil
forced through a small notch in the bearing parting
surface on the connecting rod, which registers with
the
hole
in the crankpin
once
in every revolution. Piston pins are lubricated by splash.
Drilled
holes
in the camshaft connect the front camshaft bearing
journal
to the key slot in the front
of the camshaft. Oil flows from the
journal
into
the keyslot over the woodruff key in the space
between
the key and the camshaft sprocket and fuel pump eccentric.
The
forward end of the fuel pump eccentric in corporates a relief which allows the oil to escape
between
the fuel pump eccentric and the camshaft
distributor
gear. The oil stream strikes the distri
butor shaft gear
once
each camshaft revolution, and provides ample lubrication of the timing chain and
sprockets by splash.
The
rocker arms and valves on each cylinder head
are
supplied with oil from the oil galleries through
holes
drilled in the front of the cylinder block and
cylinder
head. The
hole
drilled in the cylinder
head ends beneath the front rocker
arm
shaft brack et. A notch cast in the base of the rocker arm shaft
bracket
allows the oil to flow up inside the bracket
in
the space
between
the bracket and bolt, to the
hollow rocker arm shaft which is plugged at both
ends.
Each
rocker arm receives oil through a
hole
in
the underside of the shaft. Grooves in the rocker
arm
provide lubrication of the bearing surface. Oil
is metered to the push rod seat and valve stem
through
holes
drilled in the rocker arm. Excess
oil
drains off and returns to the oil pan through
passages in the cylinder head and block. Refer to
the
Lubrication
Chart
for lubrication frequency and
lubrication
type and grade.

and
engine
should be serviced at periodic
intervals.
Most chassis lubricating points, whether
long-life or conventional, have standard lubrication
fittings. Refer to the
Lubrication
Specifications and
Service
Maintenance Schedule for specific points
and
lubricating time intervals. It is not necessary
to disassemble prepacked joints to lubricate them.
Merely
add new lubricant, as described in Par.
B-3,
to remove all old lubricant.
At
the appropriate interval, clean each lubrication
fitting indicated on the Lubrication
Chart
and
Service
Maintenance Schedule. Use a pressure gun
to lubricate. Be sure the grease channels are open
to provide complete lubrication of bearing surfaces.
In
some
cases it may be necessary to disassemble
to clear plugged channels.
When
vehicles are driven primarily in abnormally dusty or wet areas or when a vehicle is subject to
severe operating conditions, perform
these
services
more frequently. Under
these
conditions, no definite interval can be recommended because of the great variety of
uses
and conditions of use. 11

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
