IntroductIon

OUf
intention
in

writing
this
Manual
is
to

provide
the

reader
with

all
the
data
and
in

formation

required
to
maintain
and

repair
the
vehicle
However
it
must
be
realised
that

special
equipment
and
skills
arc

required
in
some
caseS
to

carry
out
the

work
detailed

in
the
text
and
we

do
not

recommend
that
such
work
be

attempted
unless
the
reader

possesses
the

necessary
skill

and

equipment
It
would
be
better
to

have
an

AUTHQRISED

DEALER
to

carry
out
the

work

using
the

special
tools
and

equipment
available
to

his
trained
staff
He
will
also
be
in

possession
of
the

genuine
spare
parts
which
may
be

needed
for

replacement

The
information
in
the
Manual
has
been
checked

against
that
provided
by
the
vehicle

manufacturer
and
any

peculiarities
have
been
mentioned
if

they
depart
rom
usual

work

shop
practice

A
fault

finding
and
trouble

shooting
chart
has
been
inserted
at

the
end
of
the
Manual
to

enable
the
reader
to

pin
point
faults
and
so
save

time
As
it
is

impossible
to
include

every

malfunction

only
the
more
usual
ones
have
been
included

A

composite
conversion
table
has
also
been
included
at

the
end
of
the
manual
and
we

would
recommend
that
wherever

possible
for

greater
accuracy
the
metric
system
units

are
used

Brevity
and

simplicity
have
been
our
aim
in

compiling
this
Manual

relying
on

the
number

ous
illustrations
and
clear
text

to
inform
and
instruct
the
reader
At
the

request
of
the

many
users
of
our
Manuals
we
have
slanted
the
book
towards

repair
and
overhaul
rather

than
maintenance

Although
every
care
has
been

taken
to
ensure

that
the
information
and
data
are

correct

WE
CANNOT

INTRODUCTION

The
1400
1600
cc

and
1800
cc

engines
are
four

cylinder

in
line
units
with
a

single
overhead
camshaft

and

fully
balanced

five

bearing
crankshaft

The
valves
are

operated
through
rockers

which
are

directly
activated

by
the

earn
mechanism

The
crankshaft
is
a

special
steel

forging
with
the
centre

main

bearing

equipped
with
thrust
washers

to
take

up
the
end

thrust

of
the
crankshaft
The

special
aluminium

pistons
are
of

the
strut

construction
to

control
thermal

expansion
and

have

two

compression
rings
and
one
combined
oil

ring

The

gudgeon
pins
have

special
hollow
steel
shafts

and
are

a

fully
floating
fit
in

the

pistons
and
a

press
fit

in
the

connecting

rods

The
aluminium

alloy
cylinder
head
contains

wedge
type

combustion
chambers

and
is
fitted
with
aluminium

bronze
valve

seats

for
the
intake
valves

and
heat
resistant
steel
valve
seats

for
the
exhaust

valves

The
cast

iron
camshaft
is
driven

by
a
double
row
roller

chain
from
the
crankshaft

pulley

The

engine
is

pressure
lubricated

by
a
rotor

type
oil

pump

which
draws
oil

through
an

oil
strainer
into
the

pump
housing

and
then
forces

it

through
a
full
flow

oil
filter

into
the
main
oil

gallery

VALVE
SEAT
INSERTS

Replacing

The
valve
seat
inserts
should
be
replaced
if

they
show

signs

of

pitting
and
excessive
wear

The

can
be
removed

by
boring
out
to
a

depth
which

will
cause
them
to

collapse
although
care
must
be
taken
not

to
bore
beyond
the
bottom

Make

sure
that
the

if
this
occurs
it
will
be

necessary
to
set
the
camshaft

to
the

can

be
checked

by
turning
the

engine
until
the

is

at

In
this

will
be

required

is
to
the
left
of
the

The
correction
is
made

by
setting

the

should
then

CENTRIFUGAL
ADVANCE
MECHANISM

Special
equipment
is

required
to
check
the
advance

characteristics
It
is

possible
however
to

carry
out
an
exam

ination
of

the
caffi

assembly
and
the

weights
and

springs
to

ensure
that
the
earn
is
not

seizing

Lift
off
the
distributor

cap
and
turn
the
rotor
anti
clock

wise
When

the
rotor

is
released
is
should
return
to

the
fully

retarded

position
without

sticking
If
it

does
not
return
to
the

fully
retarded

position
it
will
be

necessary
to
check
for

dirt

and
weak

springs

It
should
be
noted
that

any
wear
in
the

mechanism
or

lose
of

spring
tension
will

upset
the
advance
characteristics
and

cause

unsatisfactory
engine
running
performance
over
the

speed

range

VACUUM
ADVANCE
MECHANISM

The

diaphragm
of
the
vacuum
advance

mechanism
is

mechanically
connected
to
the
contact
breaker

plate
The
rise

and
fall
of
inlet
manifold

depression
causes

the

diaphragm
to

move

the
contact
breaker

plate
to

advance
or

retard
the

ignition

If
the
vacuum

control
unit
fails
to

function

correctly
a

check
can
be
carried
out
to
ensure
that
the
contact
breaker

plate

is

moving
freely
and
that
the

three
steel

balls
at

the

top
and

oottom
of
the

plate
are

adequately
lubricated

Also
make
sure
that
the
vacuum
inlet

pipe
is
not
blocked

or

leaking
and
is

securely
tightened

Leakage
may
be
due
to
a

defective

diaphragm
which

should

be
renewed

along
with

any
other

faulty
part
of
the
mechanism

The

mechanism
is

by

Under

i
e

part
throttle
conditions
the
intake
manifold

depression
is

transmitted
below
the
throttle
valve
the
vacuum

pulls
a

piston

upwards
against
a

spring
and
leaves
the

power
valve
closed

allowing
additional
air
to
be

admitted
through
the
air
bleed
screw

and
thereby
weaken
the

petrol
and
air
mixture
When
the
vacuum

below
the

vaJve
is
lowered

during

the

The
model

HJ
L
38W6
SU
twin
carburettor
is
of

the

horizontal
variable
venturi

type
and
is
used

only
on
the
1600

and
1800
cc

engines
In
this

type
of
carburettor
a

constant

flow
of
intake
air
is

maintained

by
the

automatically
adjusted

venturi

opening
this
is
accomplished

by
the
suction

piston

sliding
in
accordance
with

changes
in
the
volume
of
intake
air

Referring
to

Fig
D
5
the
suction
chamber
is
mounted
above

the
venturi
The
suction

piston
slides
vertically
within
the

chamber

and

changes
the
venturi

opening
area
The

piston
is

operated
by
a

difference
between
the

upper
vacuum

pressure

which
is

applied
through
the
suction

poct
and
the
atmospheric

pressure
which

is
introduced

through
the
air
hole
from
the
air

cleaner

The
amount

by
which
the
throttle
is

opened
causes
the

suction

piston
to
rise
or
fall
under
the
intluence
of
the

engine

suction
The

pozzle

opening
therefore

changes
and

provides
an

optimum
air
fuel
mixture
at
all

engine
speeds

fuel
strainer
utilizes
a
fibre
strainer

element
which
should
be

replaced
every

Removal
of
the
fuel
strainer
is
a

simple
operation
but
as

it
cannot
be
drained
the
strainer
should
not
be
removed

The

equipped
with
an

to

prevent

be
removed
in
the
following
manner

Remove
the
rear
