Oil
Inlet where it is connected by a drilled passage in the

cylinder
crankcase to an oil screen housing and
pipe assembly. The screen is submerged in the oil supply and has ample area for all operating condi­
tions. If the screen should
become
clogged
for any reason, oil may be drawn into the system over the
top
edge
of the screen, which is held clear of the

sheet
metal screen housing.

Oil
is drawn into the pump through the screen and
pipe assembly and a drilled passage in the
crank­

case, which connects to drilled passages in the
timing chain cover. All oil is discharged from the
pump to the oil pump cover assembly. The cover
assembly consists of an oil pressure relief valve,
an
oil filter bypass valve and a nipple for installa­
tion of an oil filter. The spring loaded oil pressure

relief
valve limits the oil pressure to a maximum
of 30 pounds [13.607 kg.] per square inch. The

oil
filter bypass valve
opens
when the filter has
become
clogged
to the
extent
that
4V2
to 5 pounds [2.04 a 2.27 kg.] pressure difference exists
between

the filter inlet and exhaust to bypass the oil filter
and
channel unfiltered oil directly to the main oil galleries of the engine.

A
full flow oil filter is externally mounted to the

oil
filter cover nipple on the right side of the en­ gine, just below the alternator. Normally, all
engine

oil
passes through the filter element; however, if
the element
becomes
restricted, a spring loaded bypass valve
opens
as mentioned above. The main

oil
galleries run the full length of the crankcase
and
cut into the valve lifter guide
holes
to supply

oil
at full pressure to the lifters. Connecting pas­
sages
drilled in the crankcase permit delivery of

oil
at full pressure to all crankshaft and camshaft
bearings.
Holes drilled in the crankshaft
carry
oil from the
crankshaft
bearings to the connecting rod bearings.
Pistons and cylinder walls are lubricated by oil
forced through a small notch in the bearing parting
surface on the connecting rod, which registers with
the
hole
in the crankpin
once
in every revolution. Piston pins are lubricated by splash.

Drilled
holes
in the camshaft connect the front camshaft bearing
journal
to the key slot in the front
of the camshaft. Oil flows from the
journal
into
the keyslot over the woodruff key in the space

between
the key and the camshaft sprocket and fuel pump eccentric.

The
forward end of the fuel pump eccentric in­ corporates a relief which allows the oil to escape

between
the fuel pump eccentric and the camshaft

distributor
gear. The oil stream strikes the distri­
butor shaft gear
once
each camshaft revolution, and provides ample lubrication of the timing chain and
sprockets by splash.

The
rocker arms and valves on each cylinder head

are
supplied with oil from the oil galleries through

holes
drilled in the front of the cylinder block and

cylinder
head. The
hole
drilled in the cylinder
head ends beneath the front rocker
arm
shaft brack­ et. A notch cast in the base of the rocker arm shaft

bracket
allows the oil to flow up inside the bracket

in
the space
between
the bracket and bolt, to the
hollow rocker arm shaft which is plugged at both
ends.
Each
rocker arm receives oil through a
hole

in
the underside of the shaft. Grooves in the rocker

arm
provide lubrication of the bearing surface. Oil
is metered to the push rod seat and valve stem
through
holes
drilled in the rocker arm. Excess
oil
drains off and returns to the oil pan through
passages in the cylinder head and block. Refer to
the
Lubrication
Chart
for lubrication frequency and

lubrication
type and grade.

B-7.
Chassis
Lubrication

Chassis
and
engine
should be serviced at periodic
intervals.
Most chassis lubricating points, whether
long-life or conventional, have standard lubrication
fittings. Refer to the
Lubrication
Specifications and

Service
Maintenance Schedule for specific points

and
lubricating time intervals. It is not necessary
to disassemble prepacked joints to lubricate them.

Merely
add new lubricant, as described in Par.
B-3,
to remove all old lubricant.

At
the appropriate interval, clean each lubrication
fitting indicated on the Lubrication
Chart
and
Service
Maintenance Schedule. Use a pressure gun
to lubricate. Be sure the grease channels are open
to provide complete lubrication of bearing surfaces.
In
some
cases it may be necessary to disassemble
to clear plugged channels.

When
vehicles are driven primarily in abnormally dusty or wet areas or when a vehicle is subject to
severe operating conditions, perform
these
services
more frequently. Under
these
conditions, no definite interval can be recommended because of the great variety of
uses
and conditions of use. 11

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.

C-l 7. Distributor
Point
Dwell

Using
a dwell tester, connect red
lead
to the
distri­

butor terminal at coil. Connect black lead to
ground.
Set selector switch to the number of
cylin­

ders in the
engine
being tested. Operate
engine
speed at specified rpm. and
note
readings. Cam

dwell
angle must be 30° for the Dauntless V-6
Delco equipped engine, 29° ±: 3° Prestolite equipped
engine
and 42° for the
Hurricane
F4 engine. If the dwell reading is not to specifications,
trouble could be improper point spacing, point

rubbing,
defective block or breaker arm, or mis­
aligned and worn distributor cam.
Adjust
dwell
as shown in Fig. C-14 for the Delco equipped
Dauntless V-6 engine. For cam dwell adjustment
of the Prestolite equipped V6 and
Hurricane
F4 engine, refer to Par. C-10,
step
a.

Dwell
variation is determined by noting any
dwell
change as the
engine
is operated at different
speeds.

Excessive
variation indicates a change in point opening that can result from shaft or bushing wear,

or
from the distributor plate shifting because of

wear
or
looseness.

Measure
dwell variation at idle speed, using same

test
hookup for checking dwell. Increase speed to 1750 rpm.;
note
dwell reading.
Then
slowly reduce
speed to idle while observing dwell meter. Dwell

variation
should not exceed 3°. If dwell variation
exceeds
3°
between
idle speed and 1750 rpm.,
probable wear in the distributor shaft, bushings, or

breaker
plate is indicated. Distributor should then be checked more thoroughly.

C-l8. Check Ignition Wires
and
Connections

Examine
and clean the insulation on all ignition

wires
and check all connections. Wires should be
firm,
flexible, and free from roughness and minute
cracks.
Bend wires to check for brittle,
cracked,
or

loose
insulation. Since defective insulation
will
per­

mit
crossfiring or missing of the engine, defective

wires
should be replaced.

C-l9. Test Ignition
Cables

To
remove cables from
spark
plugs, use
Spark
Plug
Cable
Remover
Tool
W-274.
Twist
the
boot

slightly to break the seal and, grasping the rubber
protector
boot,
lift straight up with a steady even

pull.
Do not grasp the cable and
jerk
the cable off; this
will
damage the cables. Do not use a probe
on
these
wires; puncturing them may cause a
separation in the conductor. To remove ignition cables from the distributor cap or coil tower,
loosen

the nipple first, then grasp the upper part of the nipple and the cable and gently
pull
straight up.

Test
the cable with an ohmmeter. Resistance value

per
foot
is
3000-7000
ohms. The ignition cables
can
be checked for
circuit
continuity by removing
the cable from the
spark
plug and holding the cable
end Vi" [6,35 mm.] from the engine. A strong

spark
indicates
good
conductor continuity.

When
connecting the cable to the
spark
plug, be
certain
a
good
connection is made and that the
protector
boot
fits tight on the
spark
plug. A
partially
seated cable creates an additional gap in
the
circuit
and the resulting
spark
jump
will
cause

terminal
corrosion and cable damage.

C-20. Coil

When
an ignition coil is suspected of being defec­ tive, it should be checked on the car. A coil may

break
down after it has reached operating tempera­
ture.
It is important that the coil be at operating
temperature when
tests
are made.

Note:
The ignition coil and ballast resistor for the

V-6
engine
must be of the same manufacturer.
Ballast
resistors and ignition coils of one manufac­

turer
are interchangeable with both units of the
other.
C-21.
Service Air
Cleaner

Refer
to Par.
B-2 2
for the correct service of the

air
cleaner.

C-22.
Check Fuel Lines and
Screens

Check
all fuel line connections to guard against
leakage.
Check
fuel pump filter F4
engine
and
fuel
line filter V-6 engine. Replace fuel filter if
necessary.

C-23. Check Fuel Pump a.
Fuel
pump pressure is important, for low pres­

sure
will
seriously affect
engine
operation and high

pressure
will
cause excessive fuel consumption and
possibly flood the carburetor. Should there be any doubt of normal operation, check the pressure with
a
gauge
as shown in Fig.
C-2 2.
The minimum and

maximum
allowable pressures are 2% to 3% lbs. [0,176 a
0,264
kg-cm2], for the
Hurricane
F4 en­
gine.
Fuel
pump pressure at carburetor (inlet) on
the Dauntless V6-225

All
disassembly and assembly procedures are
presented 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.

Some
engines
are equipped with an exhaust
emission control system. Service information on
the components of this system is given in Section

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
— .010*
[0,254
mm.] undersize main and
connecting rod bearings.

B
— .010"
[0,254
mm.] oversize pistons.
