GENERAL
An
engine tune-up should be performed for all
Jeep Vehicles each 6000 miles [9.600 km.] or at the end of each 250 hours off-the-road operation,
to ensure best possible performance at all times.
The
tune-up should follow the sequence given in
this section.
Because of federal laws limiting exhaust emissions,

it
is even more important that the engine tune-up is
done
accurately, using the specifications listed
on the tune-up sticker found in each engine com­

partment.

Note;
To ensure proper operation and effectiveness
of the exhaust emission control system, and to
comply with
Federal
and State requirements, a
recheck
of ignition timing, idle speed and idle mix­

ture
and necessary adjustments must be performed
after the first
2,000
miles [3.200 km.] of vehicle
operation.

A
minor engine tune-up should be performed every
6,000
miles [9.600 km.] or at the end of 250 hours
of off-the-road use.
Major
engine tune-up should
be performed every 12,000 miles [19.300 km.].

The
parts of units which affect power and perform­
ance may be divided into three groups:
(1) Units affecting compression
(2) Units affecting ignition
(3) Units affecting carburetion

The
tune-up procedure should cover
these
groups
in
the order given. While the items affecting com­
pression and ignition may be handled according
to personal preference, correction of items in the
carburetion
group should not be attempted until

all
items affecting compression and ignition have
been satisfactorily corrected.

Note:
To make sure hydro-carbon and carbon
monoxide emissions
will
be within limits, it is very

impotrant
that the adjustments be followed exactly
as listed on the sticker found in each engine compartment.

Primary
Circuit
Tests

Excessive
voltage
drop in the primary circuit
will

reduce the secondary output of the ignition coil,
resulting in hard starting and poor performance. Inspect all primary wiring for
loose
or corroded
terminals, worn insulation, and broken strands,
a.
Connect voltmeter positive (-J-) lead to the
positive battery terminal, as shown in Fig. C-20.
The
negative
lead (—) is connected to the ignition
side of the resistor on Dauntless V-6
engine.
The

negative
lead (—) is connected to the ignition
pri­

mary
of the coil on Hurricane F4
engine.
Con­
nect a jumper wire from the distributor primary

terminal
of the coil to the ground. Be sure all lights and accessories are off. b. With the ignition switch on, the
voltage
should
not
exceed
.4 volts. More than .4
volts
indicates

excessive
resistance
exists
in the battery cable, ignition switch wiring, or the ignition switch. The

excessive
resistance may be located with voltmeter checks across each section of the circuit.
c. Remove the jumper wire from the coil. Connect
the voltmeter positive (-f) lead to the distributor
terminal
of the ignition coil. Ground the
negative
(—) lead of the voltmeter.

in the block and cylinder head.

The
water cooled system is pressurized to provide efficient
engine
cooling. It consists of a centrifugal-
type water pump, mounted on the timing chain cover, and is driven by the
engine
fan pulley. The
pump provides coolant flow equally to both
cylin­
der banks under control of a thermostat. Coolant
flow is around the cylinders and through the
cylinder
head to dispel the heat of combustion in
the engine.

Dl-3.
Engine Mounts

The
engine-transmission unit is mounted to the chassis at three points by rubber pads. The two
front mounts are bolted to the
engine
cylinder
block and the frame members. These mounts sup­ port most of the
engine
weight, and absorb
vibra­

tion which would otherwise be caused by changes
in
engine
output torque. The single
rear
mount is
placed
between
the transmission and the trans­ mission support. It supports part of the engine'

and
transmission weight, and locates the
rear
of
the
engine
with respect to the centerline of the
vehicle.

Dl-4. ENGINE REMOVAL

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 appli­cable 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.

Dl

DAUNTLESS
V-6
ENGINE
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 re­

pair
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.

Refer
to Fig. Dl-4.
a.
