Lap
the

by
rotating
it
backwards

approximately
half

CYLINDER
BLOCK

Inspection
and
Overhaul

Ensure
that
the

cylinder

thoroughly
clean

check
it
for
cracks

Check
the

of
the
block
for
distortion

using
a

straight

and
feeler

gauge
as
shown
in

must

be

reground
if
the

Examine
the

cylinder

If

any

has
been
decided
it
will

be
necessary
to
measure
the

Measure
the

Ensure
that
the

Install
the

timing

chain

making
sure
that
the
crankshaft
and
camshaft

keys
are

XJinting
upwards
The
marks
on
the

timing
chain
must
be

aligned
with
the
marks
on
the

right
hand
side
of
the
crankshaft

and
camshaft

sprockets
It
should
be
noted
that
three
location

holes
are

provided
in
the
camshaft

sprocket
See

Fig

The

camshaft

sprocket
being
set
to
the
No

location
hole

by
the

manufacturers
A
stretched
chain
will
however
affect
the

valve

timing
and
if
this
occurs
it
will
be

necessary
to
set
the
camshaft

to
the
No
3
location
hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket
The
chain

can

be
checked

by
turning
the

engine
until
the

No
1
piston
is

at
T
D
C
on
its

compression
stroke
In
this

position
adjustment

will
be

required
if
the
location
notch
on

the
camshaft

sprocket

is
to
the
left
of
the

groove
on
the
camshaft

locating
plate
as

shown
in
the
illustration
The
correction
is
made

by
setting
the

camshaft
on

the
No

location
hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket

the
No

notch
should
then
be
to
the

right
of
the

groove
and

the
valve

timing
will
have
to

be
set

using
the
No

mark

Install
the

when
the

correctly
There
should
be
no

FLUID
COUPLING

The
water

pump
is

equipped
with

a
fluid

coupling
on

vehicles
fitted
with
an

air
conditioner

The
fluid

coupling

Limits

the
maximum
fan

speed
to

approximately
3000

r

p
ro

and
eliminates
noise

and
loss
of

power
at

high
engine

speeds

A
fault
in
the

coupling
may
be
caused

by
the

entry
of

foreign
matter

If
a
fault

developes
the

oupling
must
be

removed
and
dismantled

and
the
interior
cleaned

by

washing

in
solvent
The
condition
of
the
seal

and

bearing
must
be
care

fully
checked

and
the

coupling
replaced
if
the
latter

items
have

become
blackened
If
oil
leaks
occur

it
will
be

necessary
to

replace
the

water

pump
assembly
with
the

coupling
After

cleaning
the
unit
refill

with
