DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-2-7
Oil sump
The oil sump is bolted to the bottom of the cylinder block and the timing cover and is sealed to both components with
a one piece gasket. A removable baffle to prevent oil surge is fitted in the sump. The oil pick-up pipe and strainer
assembly is positioned within the sump and is attached at the pick-up end to a stud screwed into number four main
bearing cap and at the delivery end to the oil pump. The oil drain plug is located in the bottom of the sump and is
sealed with a washer.
Pistons and connecting rods
Each of the aluminium alloy pistons has two compression rings and an oil control ring. The pistons are secured to the
connecting rods by semi-floating gudgeon pins. Each gudgeon pin is offset by 0.5 mm (0.02 in). The top of each piston
is recessed, the depth of recess determining the compression ratio of the engine. Plain, big-end bearing shells are
fitted to each connecting rod and cap.

Drive plate
1Friction material
2Hub
3Damper spring4Retainer plate
5Disc adaptor
6Stop pin
The drive plate is of the spring centred type and is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. The drive
plate has a splined hub which engages with the splines on the primary drive shaft from the gearbox. The hub is located
in an inner plate which contains six compression damper springs. A spring retainer plate and a disc adaptor are
secured together with stop pins which limit the angular deflection of the disc adaptor. Engine power is transmitted from
the disc adaptor to the damper springs. The damper springs then transfer the power to the retainer plate and the hub.
Friction washers are located between the hub, retainer plate and disc adaptor and provide further damping.
A spring steel plate is riveted to the disc adaptor and provides the attachment surface for the drive plate friction
material. The friction material comprises discs which are secured with rivets to each side of the plate. The rivets are
installed through recessed holes in the disc and emerge in recessed holes in the opposite disc. The drive plate is 267
mm (10.5 in) diameter and has a friction material manufactured from APTEC T385.

FRONT SUSPENSION
60-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The front suspension comprises two dampers and coil springs, two radius arms, a Panhard rod and an anti-roll bar.
The front axle provides the location points for the dampers, springs, radius arms and the Panhard rod.
The anti-roll bar assembly is an essential part of the front suspension. On vehicles without Active Cornering
Enhancement (ACE) a conventional 'passive' anti-roll bar is fitted. On vehicles fitted with the ACE system, a thicker
diameter anti-roll bar, known as a torsion bar, is used with an actuator at one end.

+ FRONT SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - ACE.
The hydraulic dampers and coil springs provide springing for each front wheel. The long travel dampers, springs and
radius arms provide maximum axle articulation and wheel travel for off-road driving. The front axle is controlled
longitudinally by two forged steel radius arms and transversely by a Panhard rod.
Radius arms
Each radius arm is manufactured from forged steel. Two bushes are pressed into the forward end of the radius arm.
The forward end of the radius arm is located in a fabricated bracket on the axle and secured through the bushes with
two bolts and nuts. A bush is pressed into the rear of the radius arm which is also located in a fabricated bracket on
each chassis longitudinal and secured through the bush with a bolt and nut.
The radius arms prevent longitudinal movement of the front axle and because of their length allow maximum axle
articulation. The stiffness of the bushes in each radius arm also contributes to the vehicle roll stiffness.
Each radius arm has a notch on its lower edge which provides location for the vehicle jack.
Dampers
Two conventional telescopic dampers are used to control body/axle movement. A turret is located on a bracket welded
to the chassis. The upper spring seat has four studs which pass through holes in the bracket and align with
corresponding holes in the turret. Four nuts are screwed onto the studs and secure the turret and upper spring seat
to the chassis.
A fabricated platform is welded to the axle. The platform has two captive nuts which provide for the attachment of the
damper. A lower spring seat is located on the platform. Each spring seat is handed and has a bracket which secures
the ABS sensor harness and the front brake hose.
Each damper is fitted with a bush at its upper end. The bush locates in the top of the turret and is secured with a cross
bolt. The lower attachment point for the damper is also fitted with a bush. This bush has a spindle through its centre
with a hole at each end. The spindle is seated on the lower spring seat and the axle platform and secured with two
bolts. The coil spring is fitted in a compressed state between the upper and lower spring seats and assists the damper
in controlling the body/axle movement. The upper and lower bushes are replaceable items.
Rubber bump stops are fitted to the chassis above each end of the axle. The bump stops are progressive in their
compression and prevent the axle from contacting the chassis in the event of maximum suspension travel being
reached. The bump stops revert to their original shape once the compression load has been removed from them.
The damper functions by restricting the flow of a hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the damper body. A
chromium plated rod moves axially within the damper. As the rod moves, its movement is limited by the flow of fluid
through the galleries thus providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The damper rod is sealed at its exit point
from the body to maintain fluid within the unit and prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also acts as a
wiper to keep the rod outer diameter clean. A plastic shroud protects the rod and slides over the body as the damper
moves. The coil spring aids the damper to extend after being compressed and also aids the damping process.
