Hurricane
F4 Engine,
two % x 4 inch
guide
bolts
or
dowels
should be
used to properly
guide
and align the
engine
to the
flywheel housing (See Fig. D-42).
b. Slightly tilt the
engine
downward and at the
same time slide the
engine
rearward
while lining up the transmission main gear shaft with the clutch
throw-out bearing and disc spline.

Note
:The
engine
crankshaft may have to be turned
slightly to align the transmission main gear shaft
with the clutch disc spline.
c. Remove the
guide
bolts
or
dowels
and secure
the
engine
to the housing.

d.
Secure the front
engine
mounts to the frame brackets and
bolt
ground cable to
engine.

e. Remove lifting sling from

D-107.
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.

-VALVE
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.
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.
D-111. Oil
Filter

The
engine
is equipped with a throw-away type

oil
filter.
This
oil filter must be serviced periodi­
cally
as outlined in the
Lubrication
Section. 69

All
disassembly and assembly procedures are pre­ sented 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 sec­ tion F2.

ENGINE
DESCRIPTION

The
Dauntless V-6
engine
has a displacement of
225 cubic inches. It has a compression ratio of
9.0 to 1, which permits use of regular-grade
gaso­

line.
See
Figs.
Dl-1 and Dl-2.

The
cylinder block is made of cast
iron.
Two banks
of cylinders (three cylinders per bank) are cast at a
90-degree
angle. The lower part of the cylinder-

block
extends
below the centerline of the
crank­
shaft, forming a continuous flat surface with the

rear
crankshaft main bearing cap and the timing

chain
cover.
This
design allows installation of an
oil
pan with a
one-piece
gasket. The cylinders in
the left bank (as viewed from the driver's seat) are
numbered
1-3-5,
from front to
rear.
The cylinders

in
the right bank are numbered
2-4-6,
from front
to
rear.

The
crankshaft is supported in the cylinder block
by four steel-backed full-precision bearings, all of

which
have an identical diameter.
Crankshaft
main bearings are numbered 1 to 4, front to
rear.
The

thrust
bearing is flanged to maintain crankshaft position and to compensate against crankshaft end

thrust
The No. 2 bearing is the thrust bearing.

The
crankshaft is counterbalanced by weights,
which
are cast integral with the
crank
cheeks. The

weights
are shaped to a contour which
gives
mini­
mum
clearance with cylinder barrels and piston

skirts
to conserve space.

Connecting
rods have I-beam sections with
bosses

on each side. Metal is removed, as required, to secure correct weight and balance. The lower end
of each connecting rod has a steel-backed preci­
sion bearing. The piston pin is a press fit into the upper end. The outer ends of the piston pin

are
a slide fit in the piston
bosses.

The
full-skirted, aluminum alloy pistons are cam ground and tin plated. Two compression rings and
one oil control ring are installed above the piston
pin.
The cast iron compression rings in the two

upper
grooves
of the piston have a
groove
or bevel cut around the inner
edge
on one side. The
top compression ring is installed with this
groove
or
bevel up. The lower compression ring is installed

with
bevel down. The oil
ring,
in the lower groove,
consists of two thin steel
rails
separated by a

spacer.
It is backed by a hump-type spring-steel
expander.

V-6
engine
cylinder heads are made of cast
iron.

Their
valve
guides
are cast integrally. Right and left cylinder heads are identical and interchange­
able. In service, however, it is
good
practice to
install
the cylinder heads on the side from which
they were removed.

The
valves are in line in each head, at an angle
10°
above the centerline of the cylinder bores.

Each
valve has a spring strong enough to ensure
positive valve seating throughout the operating speed range of the engine. The valve rocker arm
mechanism is protected by a
sheet
metal cover.
This
cover is seated on a raised surface of the
cylinder
head. It is gasketed to prevent oil leaks.

The
rocker arms for each bank of cylinders are mounted on a tubular steel shaft, supported on
the cylinder head by brackets. The rocker arms
are
made of aluminum. They have inserts at the

push
rod socket and the valve stem contact face.

The
camshaft is located above the crankshaft be­
tween the two cylinder banks; it is supported in
four steel-backed babbitt-metal bearings. The cam­ shaft is driven at one-half crankshaft speed by
sprockets and a single outside-guide type chain.

Hydraulic
valve lifters and
one-piece
push rods operate overhead rocker arms and valves of both

banks
of cylinders from a single camshaft.
This

system requires no lash adjustment during assem­
bly
or in service.

In
addition to its normal function of a cam follower,
each hydraulic valve lifter also serves as an auto- 76
