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

are

correct

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

This

operation
will
entail

splitting

should
be
used
to
cut
between

followed

by
splitting
with

When

replacing
the

it
must
be
heated

before

fitting

and
then
allowed
to

VALVE
CLEARANCES

Adjusting

Incorrect
valve
clearance
will
affect
the

performance
of

the

engine
and

may
damage
the
valves
and
valve
seats
Insuf

ficient
valve
clearance
will
result
in
loss
of

power
and

may

prevent
the
valve
from

seating
properly
Excessive
clearance

causes
the
valve
to
seat
and
reduces
the
amount
of

valve
lift

This
will
result
in

noisy
operation
with

damage
to
the
valves

and
seats

Adjustment
is
made
with
the

engine
switched
off

and
should
be
carried
out

initially
with
the

engine
cold
to

allow
the

engine
to
run
Final

adjustments
are
made
after

wanning

up
the

engine
to

its
Donnal

operating
temperature
The

engine
can
be
rotated

by
removing
the

sparking
plugs
to
release

the

cylinder
compressions
then

selecting

top
gear
and

pushing

the
vehicle
backwards
and
forwards

The
cold
valve
clearances
should
be
set
to
0
20

0
0079
in
for
the
inlet
valves
and
0
25
mm
0
0098
in
for

the
exhaust
valves
Check
the
clearance
between
the
valve
and

rocker

using
a
feeler

gauge
as
shown
in

Fig
A
40
Slacken
the

locknut
and
turn
the
adjusting
screw
until
the

specified
clearance

is
obtained
then

tighten
the
locknut
and
recheck
the
clearance

The
feeler

gauge
should

just
be
free
to
move
between
the
rocker

and
valve
When
the
cold
valve
clearances
have
been
set
run
the

engine
until
it
reaches
its
normal

operating
temperature
then

switch
off
and

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

Assembling

Assembly
is
a
reversal
of
the

dismantling
procedure

Lubricate
the

moving
contact

pivot
and
smear
the
lobes
of
the

cam
with
multi

purpose
grease

If

the
centrifugal
advance
mechanism
has
been
dismantled

the

governor
springs
and
cams
must
be
refitted
as

shown
in

Fig

The

governor
weight

pin
6
should
be
fitted
into

the

longer
of
the
two
slots

leaving
a
certain
amount
of

clearance

for
the
start

and
end
of
the

centrifugal
advance
movement

When

installing
the
distributor
take
care
to

align
the

body

and
rotor

with
the
marks
made
during
removal
The
rotor
must

be

positioned
in
its

original
location
it
will
turn

slightly
when

the

is
inserted
and

Remove
and

replace

until
both

SPARKING
PLUGS

The

sparking
plugs
should
be

inspected
and
cleaned
at

regular
intervals
not

exceeding

every
10
000
km
6000
miles

New

sparking
plugs
should
be
fitted
at

approximately
20
000

km
12
000
miles

Remove
the

plugs
and
check
the
amount
of
electrode

wear
and

type
of

deposits
Brown
to

greyish
tan

deposits
with

slight
electrode
wear

indicate
that
the

plugs
are

satisfactory
and

working
in

the
correct
heat

range

Dry
fluffy
carbon

deposits
are
caused

by
too

rich
a
mixture

dirty
air
cleaner
excessive
idling
or

faulty
ignition
In
this

case

it
is
advisable
to

replace
the

plugs
with

plugs
having
a

higher
heat

range
Oily
wet
black

deposits
are
an

indication

of

oil
in

the
combustion
chambers

through
worn

pistons
and

rings
or
excessive
clearance
between
valve

guides
and
stems

The

engine
should
be
overhauled
and
hotter

plugs
installed
A

white
or

light
grey
centre

electrode

electrode
indicates

engine
overheating
incorrect

timing

loose

low
fuel

Colder

sparking

should

The

should
be
cleaned

a

blasting
machine
and

tested
Dress
