Check thickness of brake pads, fit new pads if
minimum thickness is less than 3,0mm. Check brake
pads for oil contamination. If new brake pads required.

or.See BRAKES, Repair, Rear Brake Pads
WARNING: When renewing brake pads, it
is essential that only genuine components
with correct grade of lining are used.
Always fit new pads as complete axle sets, NEVER
individually or as a single wheel set. Serious
consequences could result from out of balance
braking due to mixing of linings.
Refit road wheels
Fit road wheels in original hub position. Secure in
position with wheel nuts, do not fully tighten wheel
nuts at this stage, lower vehicle and finally tighten
wheel nuts to correct torque.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Lubrication system
The V8i full flow lubrication system uses a gear type oil pump which is driven from the front of the crankshaft. The
oil pump gears are housed in the front cover and the pressure relief valve, warning light switch and filter are also
fitted to the front cover.
Oil drawn through the centrally located steel gauze strainer in the sump, is pumped under pressure through oil
cooler located in the lower half of the main coolant radiator. The cooled oil then passes through the filter, before
being distributed from the main gallery via drillings, to the various components in the engine.
Lubrication to the thrust side of the cylinders is by oil grooves machined in each connecting rod big end joint face,
which are timed to align with holes in the big end journals on the power and exhaust strokes.
Lubrication system
1. Oil to cooler
2. Oil from cooler

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Distributor and timing chain lubrication
The distributor and timing chain are lubricated from
the camshaft front bearing. The feed to the timing
chain is channelled along the camshaft sprocket, key
and spacer where it sprays onto the chain.

1. Clip
2. Pushrod seat
3. Inner sleeve
4. Upper chamber
5. Non-return ball valve
6. Spring
7. Outer sleeve
8. Lower chamber - high pressure
The purpose of the hydraulic tappet is to provide
maintenance free and quiet operation of the inlet and
exhaust valves. It achieves its designed purpose by
utilizing engine oil pressure to eliminate the
mechanical clearance between the rockers and the
valve stems.
During normal operation, engine oil pressure present
in the upper chamber 4, passes through the
non-return ball valve 5 and into the lower (high
pressure) chamber 8.
When the cam begins to lift the outer sleeve 7, the
resistance of the cylinder valve spring felt through the
pushrod seat 2, causes the inner sleeve 3, to move
downwards inside the outer. This slight downward
movement of the inner sleeve closes the ball valve 5
and increases the hydraulic pressure in the high
pressure chamber, sufficient to ensure that the push
rod opens the valve fully.
As the tappet assembly moves off the peak of the cam
the ball valve 5 opens to equalize the pressure in both
chambers which ensures that the valve fully closes
when the tappet is on the back of the cam.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TEST
Service tools:
LRT-12-052: Pressure test equipment
WARNING: Use suitable exhaust
extraction equipment, if test is being
carried out in workshop.
WARNING: If vehicle has been running,
engine oil will be hot, care must be taken
when fitting equipment to prevent
personal injury due to scalding.
Test
1.Check lubricant is to correct level.
2.Place vehicle on a ramp [hoist].
3.Disconnect battery negative lead. Remove oil
pressure switch.
4.Fit the test gauge.
5.Reconnect battery negative lead.
6.Start and run engine to normal operating
temperature.
7.At a steady engine speed of 2500 rev/min -
engine oil pressure reading should be - 2.75 bar
(40 lbf/in
2).
8.If the pressure is low - Remove and overhaul oil
pump
CYLINDER COMPRESSION - TEST
Equipment:
Compression pressure gauge
Test
1.Start and run engine until normal engine
operating temperature is achieved (thermostat
open).
2.Remove all spark plugs.
3.Disconnect both coil negative (WB) leads
4.Insert compression gauge, crank engine until
reading stabilises.
5.Expected readings, throttle fully open, battery
fully charged:
8.31:1 = 10.2-10.9 bar, 150-160lbf/in
2
9.35:1 = 11.5-12.2 bar, 170-180lbf/in2

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE NOISES
Excessive or obtrusive noise from the engine
compartment originates from three main sources:
A. The exhaust system, which makes an
unmistakable and easy to diagnose noise.
B. External components emit the greatest variety of
noises, but are also easy to diagnose by simply
removing the drive belt.
C. Engine internal mechanical noises which can
vary in volume and pitch and may be a
combination of, tapping - knocking or rumbling,
are the most difficult to diagnose. The following
is therefore a guide to diagnosis of engine
internal mechanical noises only.
Engine internal mechanical noises.
Single or multiple, light tapping noise, particularly
when engine is cold.
See Description and
operation, Description
1.Is engine oil level correct?
NO - Top up to correct level.
See
LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS AND
CAPACITIES, Information,
Recommended Lubricants and Fluids
YES - Continue.
2.Is the lubricating pressure correct?
NO -
See Engine Oil Pressure Test
YES - Suspect valve operating mechanism.
3.To confirm diagnosis, remove the rocker covers
and with the engine idling, insert a feeler gauge
of 0,015mm between each rocker and valve
stem. A faulty valve operating mechanism will
emit a different noise when the feeler gauge is
inserted.
See Repair, Rocker Shaft Renew
Heavy knocking noise (particularly on load and
when engine is hot).
See Description and
operation, Description
1.Is engine oil level correct?
NO - Top up to correct level.
See
LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS AND
CAPACITIES, Information,
Recommended Lubricants and Fluids
YES - Continue.
2.Is the lubricating pressure correct?
NO -
See Engine Oil Pressure Test
YES - Drain engine oil and filter, and examine
for metallic contamination.
3.Is the oil contaminated with metal particles?
YES - Suspect faulty big end bearings. To
confirm diagnosis, short out the ignition to
each spark plug in turn. The noise will
disappear or be reduced when the
cylinder with the faulty big end is shorted
out.
4.If noise is not conclusively diagnosed, check the
security of the flywheel and crankshaft front
pulley. Temporarily release the drive belt to
reduce general noise level and use a
stethoscope to locate source of noise.
Heavy rumbling noise (particularly during hard
acceleration).
See Description and operation,

3.Is the oil contaminated with metal particles?
YES - Suspect faulty main bearings. If noise is
not conclusively diagnosed, check the
security of the flywheel and crankshaft
front pulley. Temporarily release the drive
belt to reduce general noise level and use
a stethoscope to locate source of noise.
