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.

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.

From
these
main passages, the coolant flows around
the
full
length of each combustion chamber.

After
cooling the block, the coolant passes through
ports between the block and each cylinder head.
These
ports direct most of the coolant flow around the exhaust valve area to prevent hot exhaust
gases

from
overheating the exhaust ports.

From
the cylinder heads, the water passes into a
water
manifold between each of the heads and the

water
pump. If the thermostat is closed, the coolant
is ported back to the pump where it is recirculated

back
into the pump and into the engine. After the
coolant heats enough to open the thermostat, the coolant is directed from the water manifold through
a
hose
to the top of the radiator and then through
the radiator which acts as a heat exchanger to cool the fluid. The coolant is then ported through a
hose

from
the bottom of the radiator to the pump, which

recirculates
it back to the engine.

The
cooling system is pressurized. Operating pres­
sure
is regulated by a relief valve in the radiator

cap. The
heater inlet
hose
is connected to a port on
the right bank cylinder head. The outlet
hose
is connected to the heater adapter tube on the water

pump.

c.
It is recommended when using water for coolant
that the cooling system be flushed and checked for leaks twice a year, preferably in the
fall
before
antifreeze is added and in the spring when the antifreeze is drained.

Reverse
flushing
will
aid greatly in removing rust 162

5. Water Pump Removal and Replacement — Dauntless V-6 Engine

Drain
the cooling system. Remove the fan belt and remove the cooling fan and pulley from the hub on
the water pump. Disconnect the
hoses
from the
water
pump. Remove the cap screws that secure
the water pump to the timing chain cover; remove
the water pump. Do not disassemble the water

pump;
it is serviceable only as an assembly. When

replacing
the water pump, torque the water pump cap screws 6 to 8 lb-ft. [0,829 a 1,106 kg-m.].

G-16.
Antifreeze Solutions

When
water freezes it expands approximately 9%

in
volume. When water, confined in a cooling sys­
tem, freezes it exerts tremendous pressures causing
serious damage. To prevent freezing, antifreeze can
be added to the water to lower its freezing point.

The
two
types
of antifreeze commonly used today have either a methanol or ethylene glycol base,

and
contain corrosion inhibitors. The only anti­
freeze recommended for the cooling system of

'Jeep'
vehicles is ethylene glycol (permanent type).

Methanol
base antifreeze evaporates with the water
when the vehicle is operated at warmer tempera­
tures and requires more attention to avoid
loss
of
protection. Ethylene glycol base antifreeze seldom
evaporates at normal operating temperatures.

Methanol
solution is injurious to vehicle finishes.
Should
any be spilled on the vehicle, it should be
washed off immediately with a
good
supply of cold water without wiping or rubbing. Under ordi­

nary
conditions, ethylene glycol is not injurious to
vehicle finishes.

Warning.*
Drinking
ethylene glycol antifreeze or its
solutions can be harmful or fatal. Do not use anti­
freeze containers for
food
or beverages.

A
table in Par.
G-2
2
gives
the protection obtained
by the addition of various amounts cf ethylene glycol.
Before installing antifreeze, inspect the cooling sys­
tem to be sure it is clean, leak-proof, and otherwise

in
proper operating condition.
Drain
the cooling system, see Par. G-3. Pour in 3 quarts [3 ltr.] of

clean
water, add the required quantity of anti­ freeze, then add clean water to within 1" [2,54 cm.] of the top of the overflow pipe to allow for expan­
sion when hot. Run the
engine
until it is
warm.

Then
recheck the solution level.
Check
the anti­
freeze protection with a hydrometer reading.

G-l7.
Inhibited Coolant Solutions

All
'Jeep5 vehicles equipped with either the
Hur­
ricane
F4 or Dauntless V-6
engine
should use only

inhibited
year-round, permanent-type
engine
cool­
ant
solutions that are formulated to withstand two

full
calendar years of normal operation without

draining
or adding inhibitors. The
engine
cooling
system should be completely drained and the
rec­
ommended coolant installed every two years. Be-
fo
a
installing the permanent-type solution, inspect the cooling system to be sure it is clean, leakproof,

and
in proper operating condition.

Note:
Water alone, methanol, or alcohol-type anti­
freeze is definitely not recommended for 'Jeep*
Vehicles.

G-l8.
Fan Belt

The
fan, water pump, generator or alternator are
driven
by a V-belt. The drive of the V-belt is on
the side of the V. A fan belt that is too tight
will

cause
rapid
wear of the alternator or generator and
water
pump bearings. If the belt is too
loose,
it may
slip
preventing the water pump from properly cool­
ing the
engine
or the generator or alternator from
properly
charging the electrical
circuit.
Use fan belt
tension
gauge
Tool W-283 to properly adjust belt.

The
fan belt is properly adjusted when it can be
deflected Vi" [13 mm.] with strong thumb pres­

sure
applied midway
between
the fan and alter­

nator
pulleys.
Check
this adjustment and inspect the condition of the fan belt at each

9. Engine Overheating

An
engine
will
not be damaged by high coolant
temperatures unless the coolant boils. The pres­

surized
cooling system on the 'Jeep' vehicles raises the boiling point of the coolant solution. Should
overheating be encountered, and the fault is be­
lieved to be in the cooling system check for the
following:

a.
Proper coolant level. See
Filling
Cooling Sys­
tem Par. G-2.
b. Poor air flow.
Check
for dirty radiator core. (See Radiator Par. G-5).
Check
for faulty belt
pulley operation, worn or
loose
fan belt, or dam­ aged fan.
Clean,
repair, replace or adjust as neces­

sary.

c. Foaming coolant.
Check
for air leaks at water
pump,
hose
connection and filler cap. Tighten, re­

pair
or replace as necessary.

d.
Surging or "after boil".

Hoses and clamps, water pump, radiator, head gas­
ket, core plugs and drain cocks, as well as the cylin­ der head or block for
cracks.

f.
Internal
leaks.
Check
for faulty head gasket,
cracked
cylinder head or block.
