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

DESCRIPTION

Three

types
of
transmission
are
available
for
the
Datsun

models
covered

by
this
manual
Either
a
three

speed
gearbox

a
four

speed
gearbox
or
three

speed
automatic
transmission

can
be
fitted

The

three
and
four

speed
gearboxes
are

equipped
with

nchromesh
on
all
forward

gears
with
the
three

speed
gearbox

operated
by
a

steering
column

gearchange
system
and
the
four

speed
gearbox
by
a
floor
mounted

gear
lever

Two

types
of

synchromesh
are
used
in
the
four

speed

gearboxes
Either

Borg
Warner
or
Servo

types
may
be
fitted

The

gearboxes
differ

only
in
the

synchromesh
devices

whereby

the
baulk

rings
synchronize
the

coupling
sleeve
with
the
main

shaft

gear
on

the
Warner

gearbox
This
action
is

accomplished

by
a

synchrcrring
on

Thoroughly
clean
all

parts
and
examine
them
for

signs

of
wear
or

damage
Replace
any
comIK
nent
found
to
be
un

It
is
advisable
to
renew
the
assemblies
if
the

steering
column

or
ball
nut

assembly
is
defective
as

the

adjustment
procedures

required
to
overhaul
the
units
are
rather
involved

The

dismantling
and

adjustment
procedures
for
the
ball

nut

assembly
can
be
carried
out
in

the
following
manner
if
it

is

decided
that
overhaul
procedures
are
to

be
carried
out

Ball

Remove
the
ball

guide

clamp
withdraw
the

guide

tubes
from
the
ball
nut
and
collect
the
steel
balls

Turn
the
nut

upside
down
and
rotate

the
steering
column

backwards
and
forwards
until
all

36
steel
balls
have

dropped

out
of
the
ball
nut
Pull
the
ball

nut
from

that

they
are

not

Pay
particular
attention

to
the
ends
of

that

pick

Renew
the

if

they
are

Check
the
steel

and

the

for
wear
and

replace
the

of

the
two
holes
on
the

ball
nut

until
all
36
balls
are
installed
The

column
should
be

gradually
turned

away
from
the
hole

being

filled
and
if
the
balls
are

stopped
by
the
end
of
the
column
hold

down
those

already
installed
with
a

clean
rod
or

punch
while

turning
the
column
several
times
in
the
reverse
direction
The

filling
of
the
circuit
can
then
be
continued
but
it

may
be

necessary
to
turn
the
column
backwards
and
forwards

holding

the
balls
down
first
in
one

hole
and
then
the
