GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The four-cylinder, overhead valve engine ss bullt in
unit construction with a four-speed gearbox. The
four-throw crankshaft is carried In shree main bearings
which are white-metalled sce! shells located by cabs.
End thrust Is taken by 2 split thrust wather at each
side of the rear main bearing, The blg-end bearings
are also white-metlled steel shells,
The pistons are of aluminium alloy feted with two
compression and two oll control rings. The gudgeon
pin fully floating and located by circlips.
Each camshaft runs In three bearings. The end
bearings of both exhaust and inlet camshaft are flanged
and bolted to the block; the centre bearing of the
exhaust camshaft is a plain bronze bush ; the centre
inlee camshaft bearing is 3 split zinc-based alloy bush,
he upper half of which is located by an externally
accessible set screw, and dowelled to the lawer half.
The valves are operated from che camshafts by
hrellow cylindrical appets, short pust-rodsand rockers.
‘A thermo-siphon cooling system is assisted by &
pump. thermostat and shx-bladed fan.
THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
“The submerged, self-priming, gear-type oil burt i
bolted co the under face of the cylinder black and
driven by a skew gear on the inlet camshaft, From
the pump. the oil is delivered to a fullfiow oil Heer
and from the filter to the main and big-end bearings.
Camshafts, timing chaln and rocker-shafes are supplied
by means of internal ollWays drilled In the crankcase
‘The pressure relief valve is located in the olf filter
body.
The oil filler is on the leftehand rocker cover, the
erankease breather on the lefthané side of che block
and the dipstick on the right-hand side,
Section
DRAINING THE ENGINE SUMP
The sump on new and reconditioned engines muse
be drained and refilled with new oil after the fire
500 miles (BOO km.)and then a€ intervals of 3,000 miles
(5000 km.). The hexagon-headed drain plug is situated
fon the righthand side of the sump. The ol! should
preferably be drained when the engine Is har. in which
condition the oil flows more readily.
Allow the sump to érain for at least ten minutes
before the drain plug is replaced. Whan the sump
has been drained, approximately 13 pints (15° US,
pints ¢ 7-4 litres) of oll are required to refill i.

OIL PRESSURE
Under normal running conditions the oil pressure
should not drop below 30 Ib./sq. in. 11 kg, lem)
‘on the gauge, whikt approximately {2 Ib./sq. in
(9 kgsieme) should be shown when the engine is
‘dling.
Should there be a notice
the following points :—
1. That there is a good supply of the correct grade
of ol in the engine sump.
2. That the pump gears are in order and have the
correct clearances,
3. That the gauze oil pump filter 5 clean and noe
chaked with sludge.
4, That the bearings on the delivery side to which
oll Is fed under pressure have the correct
working clearance, Should the bearings be
worn and the clearancas excessive, the oil will
escape more readily from the sides of the
bearings, particularly when the oll is warm
and fluid, This will use a drop in ths prewure
racorded on the gauge as compared with that
shown when the bearings are in goad order.
Note—The automatic rellef valve deals with ony
‘excessive ail presture when the engine ail [5 cold.
Gold running and unnecessary use of the mixture
control Ia often the couse of serious ol dilution by fusl.
with & consequent drop In pressure.
New engines with new ei will produce considerably
higher pressure eadiogs than those given,
Perticlusr attention is called to che recommended
change of wil every 3,000 miles (5000 km). This is @
most important factor in attaining long and trouble-free
service from the engine. Oil of the correct grade os
specified on page P.2 must be used.

and remove from the engine
Nate that the caps and rods must be replaced im

with the number of the bore and the word “ Front”
so that vhey say be refitted to the bores correctly.

Section A.25
REMOVING PISTON RINGS
WF no special piston ring remover is available, use
2 piece of thin steel such as a sultably ground hacksaw
blade, or disused -020 in. (:50 mm.) feeler gauge.
Raise one end of the ring and Insert the steel strip
between ring and piston, Rotate the strip round the
piston, applying slight upwards pressure to the ralsed
portion of the ring, until It rests on the land above
the ring groove. It can then be eased off the piston.
Do not remove the piston rings downwards over
the skirt of the piston.
Before fitting new piston rings the gracves in the
piston must be scraped clean of any carbon deposit,
taking care not to remove any metal, since play
between the ring and the groove reduces gas tightness
and produces a pumping action leading to excessive
oll consumption. There must be no play between the
rings and their grooves but they must nevertheless
be free to move without restriction.
Important.—New ringsshould be tested in the cylinder
bore in order to check for correct clearance ot the ends.
To do this effectively the piston should be inserted
proximately | In, (25 cm.) down the cylinder and each
‘ing then pushed down’ on to the top of the piston and
held there in order to keep the ring square with the bore,
The end gop should be between 003 in. and O14 jn.

PISTON SIZES AND CYLINDER BORES
Ie is necessary to fit new pistons by selective
assembly, and to facilitate this the pistons are marked
lon their crowns with identification figures which must
correspond with those of the cylinders to which they
are fitted.
The actual bore dimensions of each cylinder are
stamped on the top face of the cylinder block on the
frone right-hand corner by the appropriate symbol :—
S.T.D., Indleating that the cylinder bore is of
stindard diameter, i.e. possesses an actual diameter
of 31683 in, (80:5 mm.),
+0005, indicating that the eylinder bore is oversize
to the extent of +0005 in., and thus possesies an
actual élmension of 3-1698 in. (80-5129 mn.).
+00}, Indicating that the cylinder bore Is oversize
to the extent of +00) in. and thus possesses an
aetual élmension of 31703 in. (80°525 mm.).
++:0015, indicating that the cylinder bore Is oversize
to the extent of +0015 in. and thus possesses an
actual dimension of 1708 in. (80-5363 mm.).
The pistons are marked with the actual
cylinder bore size, the requisite running clear-
ance being allowed for in the machining.
Thus those marked +001 in. should be fitted to
bores marked +001 in, and so on throughout. the
range covered.When the cylinder head is removed and the plstons
withérawn, the cylinder bores should be measured
for wear. Indication that a rebare of the cylinders
Is necessary Is glven by general loss of performance.
oiling up, and poor compression, and i confirmed by
measurement of the bores.
Rebores:
Four ranges of rebore sizes are provided and
cylinders must only be rebored to one of these sizes
© ensure the supply of the correct pistons
‘To provide the normal machining tolerance, oversize
pistons are availble which are ‘0005 In. -OD1 in, and
0015 in, (125 mm., 025 mm. and ‘0375 mm.) larger
in diameter than the standard rebore sizes.
The four standard oversizes for rebores are :—
+010 in, (25 mm.) [actual bore 31793). (20°75 mm.)
+020 in. (‘50 mm.) [actual bore 311893 in. (81 mm.)}
+030 in.(75 mm.) [actual bore3:1993 in. (81/25 mm.)]
‘040 in, (1-00 mm.) fsctual bore 32093 in, (61'S mm. )]
and oversize pistons are available for the above rebore
sizes in the following range : +0005 Jina, +:0010 in,
+0015 In.
There are thus twenty piston sizes avallable for
replacement purposes as tabulated.

FITTING AN ENGINE STEADY
If udder Is experienced in aking up the drive, |e
‘can be overcome by the addition of an engine steady
between the rocker cover, and an improved rear
engine mounting bracket
The parts required are listed on page A.24.
Disconnect the battery, remove the blower motor
and the windshield wiper motor.
Remove the four rear inner rocker cover bolts.
‘Offer up the bracket to the valance and position it
50 that the rearmost holes are 1h In. (384 mm.)
forward of the face of the dash, then drill chrough the
valance in six places with a 4h in. ¢rill using the bracket
asa lie.
Assemble the tie-rod with rubber bushes, cup
washers and nuts to the engine steady bracket. The
rubber bushes must not be unduly compressed.
Remove the plug lead to number 4 cylinder and fe
the bracket and tie-red assembly to the rocker cover
using new rocker cover boles.
‘Clean away sound proofing material around the
holes on the underside of the valance.
Thread on to the tie-rod, the locknut, plain nut,
