Measure clearance of each valve stem in cor­
responding valve guide. For intake valves, this
clearance
should be .0012" to .0032" [0,0305 a

0,0813
mm.]. For exhaust valves, this clearance should be .0015" to .0035"
[0,0381

0,0889
mm.]
at top of guide and .002" to .004"
[0,051
a 0,102 mm.] at bottom of guide. If this clearance is exces­
sive, valve guides must be reamed with .004" [0,102 mm.] oversized reamer J-5830-1 and valves

replaced
by new valves with oversize stems.

Cylinder
Head
and Valve
Repair
a.
If a valve stem has excessive clearance in its
guide, the guide must be reamed .004" [0,102 mm.]
oversize. Valves are available with oversize stems
to fit this valve guide diameter.

b.
Grind
valve faces or replace valves if necessary.

Valve
faces must be ground at an angle of 45 degrees. If a valve head must be ground to a
knife
edge
to obtain a true face, the valve should
be replaced.

c.
If necessary, grind valve seats at an angle of 45 degrees.
Grinding
a valve seat decreases valve
spring
pressure and increases the width of the seat.

The
nominal width of the valve seat is
[
1,59
mm.].
If a valve seat is wider than %" [1,98 mm.]
after grinding, it should be narrowed to specified

width
by the use of 20-degree and 70-degree stones.
Improper
operation of a hydraulic valve lifter may

result
if valve and seat are refinished to the extent
that the valve stem is raised more than .050" [1,27 mm.] above normal height. In this case, it
is necessary to grind off the end of the valve stetti or replace parts.

Note:
The normal height of the valve stem above
the valve spring seat surface of the head is
1.925"
[4,889 cm.].

d.
Lightly
lap the valves into seats with fine grind­
ing compound. The refacing and reseating should
leave the refinished surfaces smooth and true so that a minimum of lapping
will
be required. Ex­
cessive lapping
will
groove the valve face and pre­
vent
good
valve seating.
e. Test valve seats for concentricity with guides,
and
for proper valve seating. Coat a small segment
of the valve face lightly with Prussian blue pig­ ment.. Insert the valve stem into its guide and

turn
the valve face against the seat. If the valve seat is concentric with the valve guide, a
mark

will
be made all around the seat. If the seat is not concentric with the guide, a
mark
will
be made
on only one side of the seat.

Clean
all pigment from both valve and seat. .Next,
coat a small segment of the valve seat lightly with

Prussian
blue pigment. Again insert the valve stem into its guide and rotate the valve face against the
seat. If the valve face is concentric with the valve
stem, and if the valve is seating all the way around,
pigment
will
coat the valve face with a uniform
band
around its entire perimeter. Both of
these

tests
are necessary to prove that proper valve seat­
ing is obtained.
f. Inspect the valve springs visually for corrosion,

breaks,
and distortion.
With
a valve spring tester
check
each valve spring for proper tension. When

a
valve spring is compressed to a length of
1.640"
[4,166 cm.] (closed-valve condition), it should
have a tension of 64 lb. [29,03 kg.]. When a valve
spring
is compressed to a length of
1.260"
[3,200
cm.] (open-valve condition), it should have ten­ sion of 168 lb. [76,205 kg.]. Replace any valve
spring
which is visibly damaged or
does
not
meet

tension specifications.

Rear
Oil Seals

Braided
fabric seals are pressed into
grooves
of
cylinder
block and
rear
main bearing cap, to
rear

of the oil collecting groove, to seal against oil leak­ age at the crankshaft. Refer to Fig. Dl-32.

OIL
SEAL

1—Neoprene
Seal
2—Fabric
Seal

A
neoprene composition (stick) seal is installed in
grooves
in the sides of the
rear
main bearing cap
to seal against leakage in the joints
between
the
cap and cylinder block. The neoprene composition
expands in the presence of oil and heat.
This
seal
is undersize when newly installed. Refer to Fig.

Dl-32.

a.
The braided fabric seal can be installed in the

cylinder
block only when the crankshaft is re­ moved; however, the seal in the cap can be replaced
whenever the cap is removed. Remove oil seal and place new seal in groove, with both ends projecting
above parting surface of cap. Force seal into
groove

by rubbing down with hammer handle or smooth
stick
until seal projects above the
groove
not more

than
[1,59 mm.]. Cut ends off flush with
sur­

face of cap, using sharp knife or razor blade.
Lubricate
the seal with heavy
engine
oil just before
installation.

Caution:
The
engine
must be operated at slow
speed when first started after new braided seal
has been installed.
b. The neoprene composition seal is slightly longer

than
the
grooves
in the bearing cap. The seal must
not be cut to length. The seals are installed after the bearing cap is installed in the block and torqued
firmly
in place. Dip the neoprene seals in kerosene
approximately IV2 minutes, then install seals into
bearing cap grooves. The protruding ends of the seals are, again, squirted with kerosene, wiped off,

and
peaned over with a hammer to be sure of a
seal
at the upper parting line
between
the cap and

cylinder
block.

Refer
to Fig. Dl-6.

This
procedure assumes that crankshaft main bear­
ings have been inspected and proven satisfactory,

or
that new crankshaft main bearings of appropriate size have been selected. If necessary, check or select
main
bearings as described in Par. Dl-41 and
Pars.

Dl-42 and Dl-43.

a.
Install
four upper main bearing halves in
seats

of cylinder block so that prong of each bearing half
fits into corresponding notch of seat. Flanged thrust
bearing must be installed in the second seat from
front of engine.
Install
a new upper crankshaft
rear
oil seal in the cylinder block as described in

Par.
Dl-72.

Caution:
Upper main bearing halves have an oil groove, while lower halves are plain. They must
not be interchanged.
b. Apply
engine
oil to upper bearing surfaces.

Install
the crankshaft so that its four journals rest

in
the upper bearing halves.
c. Seat all four lower main bearing halves in cor­
responding bearing caps.
Install
a new lower

described in
Par.
Dl-72, a and b.
Lubricate
all lower

main
bearing surfaces with
engine
oil. Position bear­ ing caps to cylinder block and crankcase journals.

Install
two cap bolts,
loosely,
at each cap.

d.
It is necessary to align thrust surfaces of the
second main bearing whenever it has been removed

from
the engine. To do this, pry the crankshaft

back
and forth several times, throughout its entire end travel, with cap
bolts
of second main bearing
only finger tight.
e. Tighten alternate cap
bolts
of each main bearing

cap,
a little at a time, until they have been tight­ ened to 80 to 110 lb-ft. [11,1 a 15,2 kg-m.] torque.
D1-74. Crankshaft End Play Check

To
measure crankshaft end play, mount a dial
indicator
on the cylinder block and index its plung­

er
to either a front or
rear
face of one crankshaft
counterweight. Pry the crankshaft to one limit
of its end travel and adjust the dial indicator to
zero. Pry the crankshaft to its
opposite
end travel

limit
and
note
end play as indicated by the dial

indicator.
Crankshaft end play tolerances are .004"
to .008" [0,102 a
0,204
mm.]. If end play is too great, it can be corrected only by replacement of
the second main (thrust) bearing.

E-17.
Choke System

The
choke system consists of a manually-operated
choke valve, a fast-idle connecting rod, and a fast-
idle arm. The choke valve is offset-spring loaded to prevent over-choking during the starting warm-
up period. When the choke valve is moved to a closed position for starting, the fast idle connector

rod
in Fig. E-ll revolves the fast idle link.
This
action increases the
engine
idle speed to prevent stalling during the warm-up period. A fast-idle
connector rod return spring prevents partial closing
of the choke valve. pump lifter which is connected to the throttle.

This
movement forces fuel from the chamber
above the diaphragm through discharge pump check valve and discharge pump jet.
This
auxiliary discharge of fuel supplies
engine
requirements for

quick
acceleration and heavy loads. When the
throttle is closed, the diaphragm is again pulled
down by high vacuum and another measured
charge of fuel enters the chamber above the
diaphragm
through the intake passage to be
available for the next cycle of operation.

Note:
The pump jet (see insert drawing in Fig.

E-12)
projecting into the air stream is permanently pressed into the carburetor body and should not
be removed. Also, carburetor design makes it im­ possible to adjust the pump stroke.

E-19.
Accelerating Pump System

The
accelerating pump system shown in Fig. E-12
provides a measured amount of fuel for rapid acceleration and smooth
engine
operation when
the throttle is opened at lower speeds. In operation,
vacuum
is applied to the underside of diaphragm
at all times when the
engine
is running.
Lower

and
more uniform vacuum is provided by vacuum
restriction
and vacuum bleed passage. When the
diaphragm
is in its maximum down position at
low throttle resulting from high vacuum in chamber the chamber above the diaphragm is full of fuel

which
has been admitted through intake passage.
When
the throttle is opened, vacuum drops in the
chamber and the diaphragm is initially forced
upward
by the spring on the diaphragm shaft.
The
upward motion is picked up by accelerator

Accelerating Pump Maintenance

If
engine
acceleration is unsatisfactory, remove the
pump diaphragm and check the diaphragm for wear

or
damage. Then remove the pump check retainer
ring
located directly above the pump check weight

and
pump ball check. Pump ball check must seat

properly
as a leak
will
cause poor acceleration performance. Inspect and replace all worn or
damaged parts.
Clean
and blow out all passages

with
compressed air.
Note
that when testing the pump for discharge volume with the carburetor
off the engine, only half of the maximum pump capacity
will
be discharged. When the
engine
is
operating, vacuum controls the balance of dis­ charge. 116

Power System

A
vacuum-operated power piston in the air horn
and
a power valve in the
bottom
of the float bowl

enrich
fuel-air mixture when more power is desired.

This
system also operates during extreme high
speed driving. Through a vacuum passage from the
carburetor
base to the power cylinder, the power
piston is
exposed
to manifold vacuum. See Fig.

E-20.

During
idle and part throttle operation, relatively
high vacuum holds the power piston in upward
FIG.
E-20—POWER
SYSTEM
position against spring tension so that the power
valve remains closed.

Increase
in
engine
load decreases manifold vacuum.

When
vacuum decreases sufficiently, the spring
overcomes vacuum and the power piston
moves
downward.
This
opens
the power valve to allow
additional fuel to flow through calibrated restric­
tions into the main well.

As
the
engine
load decreases, resulting higher

vacuum
overcomes spring tension on the power
piston and draws the power piston upward.
This

closes
the power valve.

This
carburetor has a
two-stage
power valve. In
the first
stage,
fuel is metered by the valve itself.
This
stage
occurs under light load. During heavy

load,
the valve is fully opened to the second
stage;

in
this position, the power valve supplies fuel to
be metered by power restrictions in the fuel chan­

nel
to the fuel bowl.

The
power piston cavity is connected to the main

air
flow passage by a vacuum relief passage.
This
passage prevents transfer of vacuum to fuel in the
float bowl. Any leakage of air past the piston
will

be compensated for by this relief passage; hence it

will
not affect carburetor metering.

E-30.
Accelerator Pump System

When
the throttle valve
opens
rapidly, air flow

and
manifold vacuum change almost instantaneous­

ly.
However, heavier fuel-air mixture
does
not flow immediately.
Thus,
momentarily, the
engine
does

not have sufficient fuel. The accelerator pump pro­ vides additional fuel necessary for
engine
operation

during
acceleration.

A
double-spring loaded pump plunger supplies fuel for acceleration. Top and
bottom
springs
move
the
plunger to furnish a smooth, sustained charge of
fuel for acceleration. See Fig. E-21.

Fuel
is drawn into the pump well past the inlet
check ball during the plunger intake (upward)
stroke.
Downward
motion of the pump plunger
seats
the
inlet check ball and forces fuel through the dis­ charge
passage.
This
unseats
the pump discharge

ball.
Fuel
then sprays through the discharge

G-l. GENERAL
a.
The satisfactory performance of the Hurricane

F4
engine
is controlled to a great
extent
by the proper operation of the cooling system. The
engine

block is full length water jacketed which prevents
distortion of the cylinder walls. Directed cooling
and
large water holes, properly placed in the cylin­
der head gasket cause more water to flow past the
valve
seats
(which are the
hottest
parts of the

block)
and
carry
the heat away from the valves, giving positive cooling of valves and seats.

Minimum
temperature of the coolant is controlled by a thermostat mounted in the
outlet
passage of
the engine. When the coolant temperature is below
thermostat-rated temperature, the thermostat re­ mains closed and the coolant is directed through
the radiator-bypass
hose
to the water pump. When the thermostat opens, coolant flow is directed to
the top of the radiator. The radiator dissipates the
excess
engine
heat before the coolant is recirculated
through the engine.
The
cooling system is pressurized. Operating pres­
sure
is regulated by the rating of the radiator cap

which
contains a relief valve, b. The Dauntless V-6
engine
efficiency and per­formance is controlled to a great
extent
by proper
operation of the cooling system. The cooling system

does
more than cool the engine. It also directs
the flow of coolant to provide the
best
operating
temperature range for each part of the engine.

In
the Dauntless V-6
engine
coolant is forced by
the water pump into two main passages that run the length of the block on each side (Fig. G-l).

Field
Coils

Using
test
probes, check the field coils for both
ground and
open
circuits.

a.
To
test
for ground, place one probe on the motor frame or
pole
piece
and touch the other probe to the field coil terminals. If a ground is present, the
lamp
will
light.
b.
To
test
for
open
circuits, place the probes on
the field coil terminal and on an insulated brush.
If
the light,
does
not light, the coil is
open
circuited.

Brush
Holder Inspection

Using
test
probes, touch the insulated brush holder with one probe and a convenient ground on the commutator end head with the other probe. If the
lamp lights, it indicates a grounded brush holder.

Starting Motor Reassembly

Refer
to Fig. H-40 and H-41.

a.
When assembling absorbent bronze bearing
found in the end plate and drive end frame, always
use the proper arbor
designed
to
give
the proper
bearing fit. Soak the bearings in oil
before
assem­
bling in the bearing bore. Give the bearing
seats

a
light coating of oil.

Note:
At assembly, the outer pinion housing bear­
ing must be flush with the bearing bore on the inside of the housing; the intermediate bearing
must be flush with the bearing bore on the side
toward the armature.

b.
Brushes should be correctly installed and con­
nected as outlined in Par. H-98 in order to be sure
of proper starting motor efficiency.
c. Assemble the armature bearing plate and Bendix

Folo-Thru
Drive to the drive end frame.
Install
the two holding cap screws and lock washers. Tighten them securely. 205
