To
check the
engine
cylinder compression use the
following procedures:

Firmly
insert compression
gauge
in
spark
plug
port
(Fig.
C-10).
Crank
engine
through at least four
compression strokes to obtain highest possible

reading.

Check
compression of each cylinder. Repeat com­
pression check and record highest reading obtained on each cylinder during the two pressure checks.

Note:
The recorded compression pressures are to
be considered normal if the lowest reading cylinder
is more than seventy-five percent of the highest

reading
cylinder. See the following example and
the "Compression Pressure
Limit
Chart".
Example:

Cylinder
No. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Pressure
(psi.) 129 135 140 121 120 100
Seventy-five percent of 140 (highest) is 105.
Thus,

Cylinder
No. 6 is
less
than seventy-five percent
of
Cylinder
No. 3.
This
condition, accompanied by low speed missing, indicates an improperly seated
valve or worn or broken piston
ring.

If
one or more cylinders read low, inject about

a
tablespoon of
engine
oil on top of pistons in low

reading
cylinders through
spark
plug port. Repeat compression check on
these
cylinders.

If
compression improves considerably, rings are

worn.
If compression
does
not improve, valves are

sticking
or seating poorly.

If
two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression

and
injecting oil
does
not increase compression, the
cause may be a head gasket leak
between
the

cylinders.
Engine coolant and/or oil in cylinders could result from this
defect.

Description

The
Hurricane
F4-134
engine
is an F-head, four-
cyiinder
engine
of combination valve-in-head and valve-in-block construction.
Large
intake valves
mounted in the head allow
rapid,
unobstructed
flow of fuel and air to the combustion chambers through short, water-jacketed intake passages.The
intake valves are operated by push rods through

rocker
arms. The exhaust valves are mounted

in
the block with through water jacketing to provide
effective
cooling. The exhaust valves are
operated by conventional valve tappets.
The
engine
is pressure lubricated. An oil pump

driven
from the camshaft forces the lubricant
through oil channels and drilled passages in the

crankshaft
to efficiently lubricate the main and
connecting rod bearings.
Lubricant
is also force
fed to the camshaft bearings, rocker arms, timing
gears, etc.
Cylinder
walls and piston pins are

lubricated
from spurt
holes
in the "follow" side of
the connecting rods.
Circulation
of the coolant is controlled by a
thermostat in the water
outlet
elbow cast as part
of the cylinder head.

The
cylinder head assembly when installed on the

engine
consists of the inlet valve guides, inlet valves, inlet valve springs, rocker arm and shaft assemblies, spark plugs, temperature indicator
fitting, water
outlet
fitting, and other assembled

parts.
The carburetor and air cleaner assembly
bolt to the top of the cylinder head. The rocker

arm
cover is attached to the top of the head to
enclose
the inlet valve mechanism.
The
engine
is equipped with a fully counterbalanced
crankshaft
supported by three main bearings. To better control balance, the counterweights are in­
dependently forged and permanently attached to
the crankshaft with dowels and cap screws that are tack-welded.
Crankshaft
end play is adjusted by
shims placed
between
the crankshaft thrust washer

and
the shoulder on the crankshaft.
The
exhaust manifold is a separate unit. The intake
manifold is cast as an integral part of the cylinder
head and is completely water jacketed.
This
con­
struction transfers heat from the cooling system
to the intake passages and assists in vaporizing
the fuel when the
engine
is cold. Therefore, there
is no heat control valve required in the exhaust manifold. Individual exhaust ports in the cylinder
block direct
gasses
into the exhaust manifold for unobstructed flow through the exhaust system.

The
pistons have an extra
groove
directly above
the top ring which acts as a heat dam or insulator.
As
is common practice with manufacturers,
some

engines
are built with oversize cylinder bores or undersize crankshaft journals. These
engines
are
considered standard as replacement parts of the

correct
sizes are supplied. Before ordering parts or
doing any work with a particular engine, it is important to check the
engine
code
number to
determine if oversize or undersize parts are re­

quired.
Definite identification is given by a letter
stamped after the
engine
code
number. See Fig.

A-5
for location. The letters used and their mean­ ings are given here:

a
dial
indicator as shown in
Fig.
D-21 after refacing.

The
valve seat should not be out of round more

than
.002"
[0,051
mm.]. A simple check can be
made in the absence of a
dial
indicator by spreading
a
thin coat of pencil lead or bearing-fitting blue on
the valve face and then inserting the valve into the valve seat.
With
hand pressure, rotate the valve

a
quarter
turn
and then remove the valve and ob­
serve the transfer of blue (or pencil lead) to the valve seat. An uneven transfer
will
indicate an

inaccurate
valve and valve seat refacing operation.

After
the seat is ground, check its width with a
seat width scale or a steel scale placed across the
face of the seat. The valve seat width after refacing
should measure [2,3 mm.] and not wider than
y%"
[3,2 mm.]. Valve seat width is
vital.
Too wide

a
seat can cause seat burning as it
tends
to trap

and
hold carbon particles. Seats that are too
narrow

will
not transfer heat to the coolant rapidly enough to keep the valves in proper operating condition.

When
a valve seat has been refaced several times

or
where it must be cut deeply for adequate recon­
ditioning, the seat may
become
too wide for efficient
operation. Narrow the seat without changing its
position in relation to the valve face by using a
valve seat relief counterbore above the seat and a valve seat narrowing cutter below the seat. These
operations are performed only after the valve
seats
have been refaced and then only when necessary.

The
finished valve seat should contact the approxi­mate center of the valve face.
Check
by applying

an
extremely thin coat of pencil lead or bearing-
fitting blue to the seat.
Then
install and rotate the
valve with light pressure. Blue (or pencil
marks)

will
transfer to the face of the valve. If the blue
is near the top
edge
of the valve face, lower the valve seat by using the valve seat relief counter-
bore. If the blue is transferred to the
bottom
edge

of the valve face, raise the seat by using the valve
seat narrowing cutter.

When
the valve seat can no longer be corrected, it
is advisable to investigate installing seat inserts.

D-60.
Exhaust
Valve Seat Insert Replacement

Hardened
valve seat inserts for exhaust valves
will

seldom require replacement. To avoid damaging the blcck, remove an insert with a tool designed for
this purpose.

When
installing a new insert, make certain the
counterbore is clean and smooth. Use a driver that

will
keep the insert in true alignment with the bore.

Cool
the insert and the installing tool with dry ice
for 30 minutes.

Note:
The insert should be sufficiently cooled
to permit installation with light taps; excessive

driving
of the insert may cock it in the counterbore

or
crack the insert.

Make
certain the valve seat is facing out.
Drive

in
the insert with the tool until it
bottoms
in the counterbore. After installation, grind the valve
seat at an angle of 45° and then check with a
dial

indicator
as shown in Fig. D-21.
D-61.
Valve Guide Replacement

Damaged,
loose,
or worn valve
guides
must be re­

placed.
Use valve guide driver W-238 or equivalent
to drive out the old guides. When replacing valve
guides, maximum
engine
performance can be se­

cured
only when the guide is positioned correctly

Flywheel Housing

The
flywheel housing, which
encloses
the flywheel

and
clutch is bolted to the
engine
rear
plate and
cylinder
block. The
rear
of the housing provides
the front support for the transmission. Examine the housing for cracks and distortion of the

machined
surfaces. The front face must seat evenly
against the
engine
rear
end plate without evidence
of warpage. The
rear
face must be parallel to the front face. Improper alignment may cause trans­mission gear disengagement. In addition, the open­
ing in the
rear
of the housing, which serves as a
pilot for the transmission, must be concentric with the crankshaft. The flywheel housing should be
checked for alignment after it is installed on the
engine. Refer to Par. D-88.

D-72.
Core Hole Expansion Plug

Any
evidence of coolant leakage around any of
the core
hole
expansion plugs
will
require replace­ ment of the plug. The expansion plug at the
rear

end of the cylinder block can be driven out with a 24" [60 cm.] length of half-inch bar stock carefully
inserted through the camshaft bore in the cylinder
block. The other core
hole
expansion plugs in the
cylinder
block and cylinder head can be removed
by piercing the center with a sharp tool and prying them out. Before attempting to install a new plug,
clean
the
hole
thoroughly. Apply a thin coat of
sealer on the new plug and install the plug with a
driver.

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.

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.

Filter

The
engine
is equipped with a throw-away type

oil
filter.
This
oil filter must be serviced periodi­
cally

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.
