MANIFOLDS AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS - V8
30-2-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Inlet plenum
The plenum is mounted transversely on the front of the upper manifold. The plenum divides into two galleries which
connect with the galleries on the upper manifold. The plenum is secured to the upper manifold with four bolts and
sealed with a coated metal gasket.
The plenum provides attachment for the throttle housing, which is secured with four bolts and sealed with a coated
metal gasket. The plenum also has vacuum connections for brake servo, rocker cover breather and fuel vapour from
the charcoal canister. A port on the top of the plenum connects via a hose to the IAC valve.
Exhaust manifolds
Two handed, cast iron exhaust manifolds are used on the V8 engine. Each manifold has four ports which merge into
one flanged outlet positioned centrally on the manifold.
Each manifold is attached to its cylinder head with eight Torx bolts. Each bolt is fitted with a 'cotton reel' shaped spacer
which allows for a longer bolt resulting in increased torque loading on each bolt. Two laminated metal gaskets seal
each manifold to its cylinder head. The flanged outlet on each manifold provides the attachment for the front pipe of
the exhaust system.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system comprises a front pipe assembly with two front pipes each incorporating a catalytic converter, an
intermediate pipe incorporating a silencer and a tail pipe assembly which also has a silencer. The exhaust system is
constructed mainly of 63 mm (2.48 in) diameter extruded pipe with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness. All pipes are
aluminized to resist corrosion and the silencers are fabricated from stainless steel sheet.
Front pipe assembly
The front pipe assembly is of welded and fabricated construction. A front pipe from each exhaust manifold merges
into one flanged connection. Two captive studs on the flange provide attachment to the intermediate pipe with
locknuts. Each front pipe has a welded flange which is attached to each manifold and secured with three studs and
flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket. The gasket comprises a heat resistant fibre between two thin
metallic layers to enhance the sealing properties of the gasket.
A catalytic converter is located in each front pipe. The catalytic converters are different shapes to allow clearance
between the body and transmission. Both catalytic converters are of similar internal construction.

CAUTION: Ensure the exhaust system is free from leaks. Exhaust gas leaks upstream of the catalytic
converter could cause internal damage to the catalytic converter.
From the catalytic converters, the front pipes merge into one pipe which terminates at a flanged joint. The flange
connects with the intermediate pipe, sealed with an olive and secured with studs and locknuts.
Intermediate pipe and silencer
The intermediate pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. It connects at its forward end with a flange on
the front pipe assembly and is secured with locknuts to captive studs in the front pipe assembly flange. The rear
section of the intermediate pipe connects to the tail pipe assembly via a flanged joint, sealed with a metal gasket and
secured with locknuts and studs.
The forward and rear sections are joined by a silencer. The silencer is fabricated from stainless steel sheet to form
the body of the silencer. An end plate closes each end of the silencer and is attached to the body with seam joints.
Perforated baffle tubes inside the silencer are connected to the inlet and outlet pipes on each end plate. Internal baffle
plates support the baffle tubes and together with a stainless steel fibre absorb combustion noise as the exhaust gases
pass through the silencer.
The intermediate pipe is attached by two brackets, positioned at each end of the silencer, and mounting rubbers to
the chassis. The mounting rubbers allow ease of alignment and vibration absorption. The two mounting rubbers are
fitted with removable heat deflectors to prevent heat from the silencer damaging the material.

STEERING
57-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The PAS pump is located on the auxiliary housing, two bolts go through the PAS pump, mounting bracket and into
the auxiliary housing. One bolt also attaches the mounting bracket to the PAS pump, two bolts secure the mounting
bracket to the auxiliary housing. An inlet adaptor pipe with a seal is secured to the bottom of the pump with two bolts.
A drive pulley is attached to the pump drive shaft with three bolts, and is belt driven at a ratio of 1.35 crankshaft
revolutions to 1 of the drive pulley. A coupling on the rear of the PAS pump rotates the water pump impeller located
in the auxiliary housing. Fluid is supplied to the PAS pump inlet from the reservoir through a flexible hose at low
(suction) pressure. Fluid at high pressure from the PAS pump outlet is supplied to the rotary control valve on the
steering box.
The PAS pump is a roller vane type and has an internal pressure regulator and flow control valve. The roller vanes
can move in slots in the pumps rotor and are moved outwards by centrifugal force as the pump rotates. The pump
rotor rotates in the pump housing, the internal shape of the housing forms a 'cam' shape. Due to the 'cam' shape the
volume of the housing decreases between the inlet and outlet ports.
As the pump rotor rotates towards the pump inlet the volume between the roller vanes and the pump housing
increases, this action causes a depression in the chamber between the pump roller vanes and the housing. As the
rotation continues the chamber is opened to the pump inlet, and the depression in the chamber causes fluid to be
drawn in. The roller vanes continue past the inlet port, closing off the inlet port and trapping the fluid in the chamber
between the rollers and the pump housing.
The internal 'cam' shape of the pump housing causes the rollers to move closer together as the pump rotor rotates
towards the outlet port. The reduced volume of the chamber between the roller vanes causes the fluid to become
pressurised. When the chamber is opened to the outlet port of the pump the fluid escapes at high pressure. The roller
vanes continue turning and go past the outlet port, closing off the chamber between the two roller vanes.
As rotation continues the inlet sequence begins again. The inlet and pressurisation/outlet sequences continue as the
pump rotates, and is repeated between each two roller vanes. The pump is a positive displacement type and the
potential pump output increases with engine (drive pulley) speed. The pressure relief and flow control valve regulates
flow/pressure by diverting fluid back to the pump inlet through internal recirculation passages in the pump body.
Steering damper
The steering damper is located behind and just below the first cross member of the chassis. The ends of the steering
damper have steel 'eyes' welded on, rubber bushes are installed in each 'eye'. The steering damper is attached
between brackets on the chassis rail and the drag link. Each end of the steering damper is secured by a bolt and
locknut. The hydraulic damper absorbs shocks in the steering, caused by road wheel deflections when operating on
rough terrain.
