Engine Oil

For
maximum
engine
protection under all driving conditions encountered during the recommended

oil
change intervals, it is necessary to use only

"MS"
certified
sequence-tested
oils. The term
"MS"
must appear on the oil container singly or

in
conjunction with other designations. "MS" des­
ignated oils are heavy-duty detergent oils that are
formulated to withstand all service conditions in
modern powerplants. Engine oils designated only
as
"ML"
and/or
"MM"
are not recommended and should not be used except in an emergency when

"MS"
oil is not available. Certified
sequence-tested

engine
oils are described on their containers by

such
phrases as:
meets,
exceeds,
excels, or has
proven superior in the
test
requirements,
test
sequences, MS Service
tests,
standards, and service

requirements,
of automotive manufacturers, auto­
makers,
or car manufacturers for MS service or
Service
MS.
It
may be necessary to change
engine
oil more
frequently than normally recommended, depending upon the type and quality of oil used, the severity
of operation conditions, if the
engine
is used for
short
periods in cold weather, or if the
engine
is allowed to idle for excessive periods.

Always
drain
the crankcase while the
engine
is hot since
dirt
and contaminants are then more
likely
to be held in suspension and therefore
will

drain
out more completely.
Drain
the crankcase as follows:

a.
Position the
drain
receptacle under the
drain

plug.

b.
Remove the
drain
plug using the correct size

wrench.
Be careful of hot oil.
c.
Carefully
clean the
drain
plug. Inspect and

replace
the gasket, if deteriorated.
d.
When the oil has drained, replace and tighten
the crankcase
drain
plug. 12

B

LUBRICATION
Note:
Hard
shifting of the transmission gear in
cold weather is a positive indication that the
lubri­

cant
is of the wrong viscosity or of poor quality

which
allows it to congeal.

B-38.
Optional
4-Speed
Transmission
and
Transfer Case

The
four-speed transmission and transfer case re­

quire
separate lubrication for each unit as
they
have no cross-over oil passage. At each transmission
service check, the
fill
plugs of
both
four-speed

transmission
and transfer case should be pulled
and
the lubricant refilled to level if necessary.

B-39.
Transfer
Case
Linkage

The
transfer case shift linkage should be lubricated

periodically.
All
bearing surfaces that are assembled
with
studs and cotter pins should be disassembled, cleaned, and coated with a
good
waterproof grease.

The
bearing surfaces that cannot be disassembled
should be lubricated with a lubricant that
will
penetrate the bearing
area.
These bearings include
the two on the cross shaft assembly and the
threaded stud.

The
type
of penetrating lubricant recommended is
DuPont
"PM 7", No. 2911, or its equivalent.

B-40.
Brake Master Cylinder

Clean
the top of the
fill
cap and also the housing

area
around it. Remove the cap and observe the
fluid
level. It should be
half
an inch
below
the top
of the fill-hole. If not, add brake fluid to
half
inch
[1,3 cm.]
below
the top of the fill-hole. Use
only heavy-duty brake fluid conforming to speci­
fication
SAE-J-1703.
Be sure to handle the brake

fluid
in clean dispensers and containers that
will
not introduce even the
slightest
amount of other

liquids
or foreign particles. Replace and tighten
the
fill
cap.

against the hub of the crankshaft pulley.
Timing

gears are accessible for inspection or replacement

with
the
engine
installed in the vehicle after re­ moving the radiator, belt drive pulley, and timing
cover.

Should
it be necessary to replace the timing gears, attention must be given to the end float of both
the camshaft and crankshaft and to the running

clearance
of both gears. It is also advisable to
check
both the oil jet and oil passage to the
crank­

shaft front bearing to be sure that they are clear.

D-55.
Inspection and
Repair

Check
the general condition of both gears and
inspect for evidence of excessive wear. Replace
excessively worn or damaged gears. Inspect the
cover and replace if bent or damaged. It is recom­ mended that the crankshaft oil seal in the cover
be replaced when the cover is removed to ensure a
good
seal around the crankshaft. To replace this

seal
with the
engine
in the vehicle
requires
removing
the radiator and water pump.

D-56.
Valves, Springs, and Guides

The
exhaust valves seat on the top of the cylinder

block
with the
stems
extending down through
replaceable valve guides. The exhaust valves are actuated by the camshaft through exhaust valve
tappets. The exhaust valve springs are assembled

and
locked on the lower end of the exhaust valve
stems. The retaining locks are the split type, which
fit in a recess on the valve
stems
and into the taper

in
the valve spring retainers.

Adjustment
of exhaust valves is by means of the
adjusting
screw threaded into the upper end of the
exhaust valve tappets. An exhaust valve rotator used as a valve spring retainer is installed on the
lower end of the exhaust valve.
This
valve rotator,
known
as "Roto Cap", is a spring-loaded
ball

bearing
device. On each lift, or opening stroke of
a
valve, the rotator
gives
the valve a slight positive
clockwise rotation.

The
intake valves operate in valve
guides
in the
cylinder
head and are actuated by rocker arms.

The
rocker arms are actuated by valve push rods

and
the intake valve tappets. The intake valve
springs,
the intake valve spring retainers, and the

intake
valve spring retainer locks make up the

remainder
of the valve operating parts. An intake
valve spring retainer oil seal which encircles the

upper
end of the intake valve
between
the valve
locks and the upper end of the valve spring re

tainer,
controls the passage of oil along the valve
stem and guide.

Note:
When
engine
trouble indicates defective
valves as a possible source of trouble, also check

all
vacuum line connections for possible leaks.

D-57.
Inspection of Valves, Springs,
and
Guides

Clean
the valves on a wire wheel, making sure that

all
carbon is removed from the top and the under­
side of the heads and that all gum and varnish
deposits
are removed from the stems.
Polish
the valve
stems
with steel wool or crocus

cloth.
Visually
inspect all valves for warpage,

cracks,
or excessive burning and discard if one of

these
conditions exists. Replace any worn, pitted,

or
corroded valves that cannot be cleaned with a
wire
brush.
Replace any valves when
seats
are pitted, burned, or corroded so badly that they
cannot be cleaned up with a light refacing on a valve refacing machine.

Replace
valves with marks of scoring or abrasion visible on the stem. Replace any valves with bent

stems
which
will
be apparent when the valve is
mounted in the valve refacing machine.

Note:
Use only hard-face exhaust valves for
replacement.

Examine
the
stems
of valves which employ the
ball
bearing rotators.
Wear
marks around the
cir­

cumference of the
stems
indicates that the valve is
rotating satisfactorily.
Vertical
heavy pressure

areas
indicate that the valve is not rotating and the valve spring retainer (Roto
Cap)
should be replaced

if
at fault.
Check
the diameter of the valve stem at two or three places along the length of the stem

with
a micrometer. The intake valve stem diameter is .3733" to .3738" [9,482 a
9,495
mm.]. The
exhaust valve stem diameter is .371" to .372"
[9,423
a
9,449
mm.].

Note:
Exhaust
and intake valve springs are

similar
in appearance. They must not be inter­
changed as they have different spring
charac­

teristics.

Wash
the valve springs thoroughly in solvent.

Visually
examine the springs and replace any that

are
deformed or obviously damaged. Examine for

corrosion
from moisture or acid etching which might

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.

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

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.

size have
been
selected. If necessary, check or
select

connecting rod bearings as described in Par. Dl-49.

Note:
When a piston and connecting rod assembly
is properly installed, the oil spurt
hole
in the con­ necting rod
will
face the camshaft. The rib on the

edge
of the bearing cap
will
be on the same side
as the conical
boss
on the connecting rod web;
these
marks (rib and boss)
will
be toward the other
connecting rod on the same crankpin. The notch
on the piston
will
face the front of the
engine.

a.
Be certain that cylinder bores, pistons, connect­
ing rod bearings and crankshaft journals are absolutely clean. Coat all bearing surfaces with

engine
oil.
b. Before installing a piston and connecting rod as­
sembly into its bore, rotate the crankshaft so that
the corresponding crankpin is moved downward, away from the cylinder bore.
c. Remove bearing cap from connecting rod. With
upper bearing half seated in connecting rod, install connecting rod guides. These
guides
hold the upper
bearing half in place and prevent damage to the

crankshaft
crankpin during installation of the con­
necting rod and piston assembly.

d.
Be certain that the gap in the oil ring rails faces

upward,
toward center of
engine.
Gaps of the com­
pression rings shall not be aligned with each other

or
with the oil ring
rails.

e. Lubricate the piston and rings. Compress the
rings with a suitable piston ring compressor; install
the piston and connecting rod assembly from top of cylinder bore. Refer to Fig. Dl-33.

f.
Install
bearing cap, with lower bearing half, on connecting rod. Torque bolt nuts to 30 to 40 lb-ft. [4,1 a 5,5 kg-m.].
g.
Install
all other piston and connecting rod as­
semblies in same manner.

h.
Check
end clearance
between
connecting rods
on each crankpin with a feeler
gauge.
Clearance should be .005,/ to .012" [0,127 a
0,305
mm.].

Dl-76.
Install
Oil
Pump
Intake
Pipe
and
Screen Assembly

Check
mating surfaces of oil pump intake pipe

and
engine
cylinder block to be certain that they

are
clean. Secure the pipe and screen assembly,
with a new gasket, to
engine
cylinder block with two attaching screws. See Fig. Dl-34. Torque screws 6 to 9 lb-ft. [0,83 a 1,24 kg-m.].

Oil Pan

Refer
to Fig. Dl-35.

Be
certain the flange surface of oil pan and cor­
responding surface of
engine
cylinder block are
clean.
Install
a new oil pan gasket on the cylinder
block.
Secure
oil pan to cylinder block with mount­ ing bolts. Torque
bolts
10 to 15 lb-ft [1,4 a 2,1

secure with six mounting bolts. Torque mounting
bolts
50 to 65 lb-ft. [6,91 a 8,98 kg-m.].

Note:
Flywheel mounting
bolts
are unevenly
spaced so that flywheel can be installed in only
one position.
This
assures correct balance of fly­
wheel and crankshaft.

b.
Mount a
dial
indicator on flywheel housing
flange of cylinder block and index its plunger to
the flywheel surface. Measure flywheel run out.

Maximum
allowable run out is .015"
[0,381
mm.].

block, and be certain no foreign material has fallen
into the cylinder bores, bolt holes, or in the valve

lifter
area.
It is
good
practice to clean out bolt

holes
with compressed air.

b.
Install
a new cylinder head gasket on the
cylin­

der
block. Dowels in the block
will
hold the gasket

in
position. Always handle gaskets carefully to
