DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The 'T' Series engine is a four cylinder, water cooled
unit comprising a cast iron cylinder block, aluminium
alloy cylinder head and twin aluminium alloy camshaft
carriers.
The cylinder block incorporates direct bored,
siamesed cylinder bores which provide good structural
rigidity. The crankshaft is carried in five main
bearings, end-float being controlled by thrust washers
positioned each side of the centre main bearing.The main bearing caps are located to the cylinder
block by dowels; the bearing shells fitted to Nos. 1, 3
and 5 bearings are fully grooved whilst those fitted to
Nos. 2 and 4 bearings are plain.
The cylinder head carries twin camshafts operating
four valves per cylinder via hydraulic tappets. Both
camshafts are driven by the timing belt and run
directly in journals line bored in the cylinder head and
camshaft carriers. The plastic camshaft covers are
bolted to the camshaft carriers.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The aluminium alloy, tin coated pistons have two
compression and an oil control ring and are secured
to the connecting rods by semi-floating gudgeon pins
which are an interference fit in the small-end bush.
Gudgeon pins are offset towards the thrust side of the
pistons to reduce frictional drag.
Plain, big-end bearing shells are fitted to each
connecting rod.The internally toothed timing belt is driven from a gear
which is keyed to the crankshaft, belt tension being
controlled by a semi-automatic tensioner.
The trochoidal type oil pump is mounted on the front
of the engine and carries the crankshaft front oil seal.
Drive to the pump is via a Woodruff key inserted in the
crankshaft.
