and economy.

Service Fuel Lines and Fuel Filter

1.
Inspect fuel lines for kinks, bends or leaks and cor-

rect any defects found, • • •

2.
Inspect filter and replace if plugged.

NOTE:
If a complaint of poor high speed per-

formance exists on the vehicle, fuel pump tests

described in Section 6M should be performed.

Service Cooling System

1.
Inspect cooling system for leaks, weak hoses, loose

hose clamps and correct coolant level, and service

as required.

NOTE:
A cooling system pressure test, as de-

scribed in "Additional Checks and Adjustments"

in this section, may be performed to detect

internal or external leaks within the cooling

system.

Check and Adjust Accelerator Linkage

1.
Disconnect accelerator rod at carburetor throttle

lever.

2.
Hold carburetor throttle lever in wide position.

3.
Pull accelerator rod to wide open position. (On ve-

hicles equipped with automatic transmission, pull

through detent).

4.
Adjust accelerator rod to freely enter hole in carbu-

retor throttle lever.'

NOTE:
Accelerator linkage is outlined in de-

tail in Section 6M.
5. Connect accelerator rod at throttle lever.

Service Crankcase Ventilation (Fig. 10}

All engines have either "Positive" or "Closed Positive"

ventilation systems utilizing manifold vacuum to draw

fumes and contaminating vapors into the combustion

chamber where they are burned. Since it affects every

part of the engine, crankcase ventilation is an important

function and should be understood and serviced properly.

In both "Positive" and "Closed Positive" ventilation,

air is drawn through the engine, (through a regulating

valve) into the manifold, drawing' crankcase vapors and

fumes with it to be burned. "Positive" ventilation uses a

vented-meshed cap for clean air intake to the engine,

while . "Closed Positive" ventilation system draws the

clean air from the carburetor air cleaner and has a

nonvented oil filler cap.

1.
Ventilation valve may be checked as outlined under

"Additional Checks and Adjustments".

2.
Inspect for deteriorated or plugged hoses.

3.
Inspect all hose connections.

4.
On closed positive ventilation systems, remove flame

arrestor and wash in solvent then dry with com-

pressed air.

Service Air Injection Reactor System

Inspect air injection reactor system for evidence of

leaks,
deteriorated hoses, cracked air manifolds or tubes

and loose hose clamps. Inspect air injection pump belt

condition and tension. Make all necessary repairs as

outlined in "Section 6T".

Because of the relationship between "Engine Tune Up"

and "Unburned Exhaust Gases", the condition of Engine

18 - Cooling System Pressure Test

Carburetor

Refer to Section 6M to perform adjustments such as

idle vent, float level, pump rod and secondary valve.

Fuel Pump

If the owner has complained of poor high speed per-

formance, the fuel pump may be at fault. Too low a

pump pressure or volume will cause a high speed "miss"

because of lack of fuel delievered to the carburetor,

while too high a pressure will cause carburetor flooding.

Check fuel pump as outlined in Section 6M.

Cooling System

The following test may be performed with pressure

testing equipment available commercially for this pur-

pose.
This test provides an excellent means of detecting

internal or external leaks within the cooling system.

1.
Remove radiator cap.

2.
Apply a test pressure of 3 pounds higher than the ra-

diator cap (fig. 18). i.e. 18 pounds for a 15 pound

cap.

3.
If the pressure will not hold, there is either an

internal or external leak in the system.

Cylinder Head Torque and Valve Adjustment

Retorquing the cylinder head bolts is not necessary

unless a gasket has been replaced, or a leak is suspected.

Valve lash must always be adjusted after the head has

been torqued.

Before adjusting the valve lash, it is extremely impor-

tant that the engine be thoroughly warmed up to normal-

ize the expansion of all parts. This is very important

because during the warm-up period, the valve clearances

will change considerably.

Hydraulic

1.
After the engine has been normalized, remove rocker

arm covers and gaskets.

CAUTION: Do not pry rocker arm cover loose.
Gaskets adhering to cylinder head and rocker

arm cover may be sheared by bumping end of

rocker arm cover rearward with palm of hand

or a rubber mallet.

2.
With the engine running at idle, back off valve rocker

arm nut until the valve rocker arm starts to clatter.

3.
Turn rocker arm nut down slowly until the clatter

just stops. This is the zero lash position.

4.
Turn nut down 1/4 additional turn and pause 10 sec-

onds until engine runs smoothly* Repeat additional

1/4 turns, pausing 10 seconds each time, until nut

has been turned down 1 full turn from the zero lash

position.

NOTE: This 1 turn preload adjustment must be

done slowly to allow the lifter to adjust itself to

prevent the possibility of interference, between

the inlet valve head and top of piston, which

might result in internal damage and/or bent push

rods.
Noisy lifters should be replaced.

5.
Repeat Steps 2, 3 and 4 to adjust the rest of the

valves.

6. Clean gasket surfaces on cylinder heads and rocker

arm covers with degreaser then install rocker arm

covers, using new gaskets, and torque bolts to

specifications.

VALVE LIFTERS

Hydraulic valve lifters very seldom require attention.

The lifters are extremely simple in design readjustments

are not necessary, and servicing of the lifters requires

only that care and cleanliness be exercised in the han-

dling of parts.

Locating Noisy Lifters

Locate a noisy valve lifter by using a piece of garden

Fig.
2L - Valve Adjustment
hose approximately four feet in length. Place one end of

the hose near the end of each intake and exhaust valve

with the other end of the hose to the ear. In this manner,

the sound is localized making it easy to determine which

lifter is at fault.

Another method is to place a finger on the face of the

valve spring retainer. If the lifter is not functioning

properly, a distinct shock will be felt when the valve

returns to its seat.

The general types of valve lifter noise are as follows:

1.
Hard Rapping Noise--Usually caused by the plunger

becoming tight in the bore of the lifter body to such

an extent that the return spring can no longer push

the plunger back up to working position. Probable

causes are:

a. Excessive varnish or carbon deposit causing

abnormal stickiness.

b.
Galling or "pickup" between plunger and bore of

lifter body, usually caused by an abrasive piece

of dirt or metal wedging between plunger and

lifter body.

2.
Moderate Rapping Noise--Probable causes are:

a. Excessively high leakdown rate.

b.
Leaky check valve seat.

c. Improper adjustment.

3.
General Noise Throughout the Valve Train—This

will, in almost all cases, be a definite indication of

insufficient oil supply, or improper adjustment.

4.
Intermittent Clicking—Probable causes are:

a. A microscopic piece of dirt momentarily caught

between ball seat and check valve ball.

b.
In rare cases, the ball itself may be
out-of-

round or have a flat spot.

c. Improper adjustment.

In most cases where noise exists in one or more lifters

all lifter units should be removed, disasssmbled, cleaned

in a solvent, reassembled, and reinstalled in the engine.

If dirt, varnish, carbon, etc. is shown to exist in one unit,

it more than likely exists in all the units, thus it would

only be, a matter of time before all lifters caused trouble.

Removal

1.
Remove valve mechanism as outlined.

2.
Mark distributor housing, with chlak, at each cylin-

der position (plug wire) then disconnect plug wires at
