DESCRIYfION

The
G
18

engine
is
a
short

stroke
unit
with
a

displacement

of
1
815
ce
The
aluminium

alloy
cylinder
head
has
cross
flow

ports
and
a
V

shaped
valve

layout
The

single
overhead
camshaft

is
driven
from
the
crankshaft

by
a
double
row
roller
chain
at
a

reduction

ratio
of
2
I

The
crankshaft
is
a

carbon
steel

forging
and
is

provided

with
five
main

bearings
and
four

balancing
weights
Aluminium

thrust

bearings
are
located
at

the
No
2

journal

The
cast
aluminium

alloy
pistons
have
two

comp
ression

rings
and
one
oil

ring
Gudgeon

pins
are

fully
floating
in
the

piston
bores
and
are

equipped
with

circlips
at

each
end
to
limit

the
amount

of
their
travel
The

forged
steel

connecting
rods

have
weight
adjusting
bosses
at
both

large
and
small
ends
to

insure
that
the
rods
are

correctly
balanced

during
operation

The

lubricating
system
is
of

the

pressure
feed

type
with

the
oil

pump
driven

by
a

gear
on
the
crankshaft
Oil
is
delivered

ENGINE
Removal
and
Installation

Although
the

ENGINE
MOUNTING
INSULATORS

Replacing

The

front
