Safety First! 0•5

Working on your car can be dangerous. This page shows just some of the potential risks and hazards, with the aim of creating a safety-conscious attitude.

General hazards

Scalding

• Don’t remove the radiator or expansion tank cap while the engine is hot.

• Engine oil, automatic transmission fluid or power steering fluid may also be dangerously hot if the engine has recently been running.

Burning

• Beware of burns from the exhaust system and from any part of the engine. Brake discs and drums can also be extremely hot immediately after use.

Crushing

• When working under or near a raised vehicle, always supplement the jack with axle stands, or use drive-on ramps.

Never venture under a car which is only supported by a jack.

• Take care if loosening or tightening hightorque nuts when the vehicle is on stands. Initial loosening and final tightening should be done with the wheels on the ground.

Fire

• Fuel is highly flammable; fuel vapour is explosive.

• Don’t let fuel spill onto a hot engine.

• Do not smoke or allow naked lights (including pilot lights) anywhere near a vehicle being worked on. Also beware of creating sparks (electrically or by use of tools).

• Fuel vapour is heavier than air, so don’t work on the fuel system with the vehicle over an inspection pit.

• Another cause of fire is an electrical overload or short-circuit. Take care when repairing or modifying the vehicle wiring.

• Keep a fire extinguisher handy, of a type suitable for use on fuel and electrical fires.

Electric shock

• Ignition HT voltage can be dangerous, especially to people with heart problems or a pacemaker. Don’t work on or near the ignition system with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

• Mains voltage is also dangerous. Make sure that any mains-operated equipment is correctly earthed. Mains power points should be protected by a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker.

Fume or gas intoxication

• Exhaust fumes are poisonous; they often contain carbon monoxide, which is rapidly fatal if inhaled. Never run the engine in a confined space such as a garage with the doors shut.

• Fuel vapour is also poisonous, as are the vapours from some cleaning solvents and paint thinners.

Poisonous or irritant substances

• Avoid skin contact with battery acid and with any fuel, fluid or lubricant, especially antifreeze, brake hydraulic fluid and Diesel fuel. Don’t syphon them by mouth. If such a substance is swallowed or gets into the eyes, seek medical advice.

• Prolonged contact with used engine oil can cause skin cancer. Wear gloves or use a barrier cream if necessary. Change out of oilsoaked clothes and do not keep oily rags in your pocket.

• Air conditioning refrigerant forms a poisonous gas if exposed to a naked flame (including a cigarette). It can also cause skin burns on contact.

Asbestos

• Asbestos dust can cause cancer if inhaled or swallowed. Asbestos may be found in gaskets and in brake and clutch linings. When dealing with such components it is safest to assume that they contain asbestos.

Special hazards

Hydrofluoric acid

• This extremely corrosive acid is formed when certain types of synthetic rubber, found in some O-rings, oil seals, fuel hoses etc, are exposed to temperatures above 4000C. The rubber changes into a charred or sticky substance containing the acid. Once formed,

the acid remains dangerous for years. If it gets onto the skin, it may be necessary to amputate the limb concerned.

• When dealing with a vehicle which has suffered a fire, or with components salvaged from such a vehicle, wear protective gloves and discard them after use.

The battery

• Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which attacks clothing, eyes and skin. Take care when topping-up or carrying the battery.

• The hydrogen gas given off by the battery is highly explosive. Never cause a spark or allow a naked light nearby. Be careful when connecting and disconnecting battery chargers or jump leads.

Air bags

• Air bags can cause injury if they go off accidentally. Take care when removing the steering wheel and/or facia. Special storage instructions may apply.

Diesel injection equipment

• Diesel injection pumps supply fuel at very high pressure. Take care when working on the fuel injectors and fuel pipes.

Warning: Never expose the hands, face or any other part of the body

to injector spray; the fuel can penetrate the skin with potentially fatal results.

Remember...

• Do use eye protection when using power tools, and when working under the vehicle.

• Do wear gloves or use barrier cream to protect your hands when necessary.

• Do get someone to check periodically that all is well when working alone on the vehicle.

• Do keep loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of moving mechanical parts.

• Do remove rings, wristwatch etc, before working on the vehicle – especially the electrical system.

• Do ensure that any lifting or jacking equipment has a safe working load rating adequate for the job.

A few tips

DON’T

• Don’t attempt to lift a heavy component which may be beyond your capability – get assistance.

• Don’t rush to finish a job, or take unverified short cuts.

• Don’t use ill-fitting tools which may slip and cause injury.

• Don’t leave tools or parts lying around where someone can trip over them. Mop up oil and fuel spills at once.

• Don’t allow children or pets to play in or near a vehicle being worked on.

Connect one end of the red jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery

Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.

Connect one end of the black jump lead to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery

Connect the other end of the black jump lead to a bolt or bracket on the engine block, well away from the battery, on the vehicle to be started.

Make sure that the jump leads will not come into contact with the fan, drivebelts or other moving parts of the engine.

Start the engine using the booster battery, then with the engine running at idle speed, disconnect the jump leads in the reverse order of connection.

Jump starting will get you out of trouble, but you must correct whatever made the battery go flat in the first place. There are

three possibilities:

The battery has been drained by repeated attempts to start, or by

leaving the lights on.

The charging system is not working

properly (alternator drivebelt slack or broken, alternator wiring fault or alternator itself faulty).

The battery itself is at fault

(electrolyte low, or battery worn out).

Booster battery (jump) starting

When jump-starting a car using a booster battery, observe the following precautions:

4 Before connecting the booster

battery, make sure that the ignition is switched off.

4 Ensure that all electrical equipment

(lights, heater, wipers, etc) is switched off.

4 Make sure that the booster battery is

the same voltage as the discharged one in the vehicle.

4 If the battery is being jump-started

from the battery in another vehicle, the two vehcles MUST NOT TOUCH each other.

4 Make sure that the transmission is in

neutral (or PARK, in the case of automatic transmission).

0•8 Roadside Repairs

To avoid repetition, the procedure for raising the vehicle, in order to carry out work under it, is not included before each relevant operation described in this Manual.

It is to be preferred, and it is certainly recommended, that the vehicle is positioned over an inspection pit or raised on a lift. Where these facilities are not available, use ramps or jack up the vehicle strictly in accordance with the following guide. Once the vehicle is raised, supplement the jack with axle stands.

Jacking

The jack supplied with the car should only be used to change a wheel. Do not use this jack when overhaul or repair work is being carried out; employ a hydraulic or screw jack and supplement it with axle stands.

Jacking points are located under the sills for use with the jack supplied.

To raise the front end with a garage jack, locate the jack under the transmission lower mounting, just below and slightly to the rear of the transmission oil drain plug. Protect the mounting by placing a block of wood between the jack head and the mounting.

To raise the rear of the car, the jack should be placed under the spare wheel housing as far to the rear as possible. Place a wooden bearer between the jack head and the housing.

Towing

When being towed, use the left-hand front towing eye.

When towing another vehicle, use the rear towing eye adjacent to the exhaust tailpipe.

When being towed, remember that the brake pedal will require heavier pressure due to lack of servo assistance. Always turn the

ignition key to MAR to retain the steering in the unlocked position.

Wheel changing

With the car on firm level ground, apply the handbrake fully. Remove the hub cap or wheel trim, if fitted.

Release, but do not remove, the bolts. Chock the front and rear of the opposite roadwheel and then raise the car using the sill jack supplied with the car if it is being done at the roadside. Alternatively use a workshop jack supplemented with axle stands.

Remove the wheel bolts, change the wheel and screw in the bolts finger tight. It is recommended that the bolt threads are smeared with multi-purpose grease. Lower the car, remove the jack and tighten the wheel bolts to the specified torque. Refit any wheel trim that was removed.

Roadside Repairs 0•9

Puddles on the garage floor or drive, or obvious wetness under the bonnet or underneath the car, suggest a leak that needs investigating. It can sometimes be difficult to decide where the leak is coming from, especially if the engine bay is very dirty already. Leaking oil or fluid can also be blown rearwards by the passage of air under the car, giving a false impression of where the problem lies.

Warning: Most automotive oils and fluids are poisonous. Wash them off skin, and change out of contaminated clothing, without delay.

Identifying leaks

The smell of a fluid leaking from the car may provide a clue to what’s leaking. Some

fluids are distinctively coloured. It may help to clean the car and to park it over some clean paper as an aid to locating the source of the leak.

Remember that some leaks may only occur while the engine is running.

Sump oil Gearbox oil

Brake fluid

Power steering fluid

Oil from filter

Antifreeze

Engine oil may leak from the drain plug... ...or from the base of the oil filter.

Leaking antifreeze often leaves a crystalline deposit like this.

Gearbox oil can leak from the seals at the inboard ends of the driveshafts.

A leak occurring at a wheel is almost certainly brake fluid.

Power steering fluid may leak from the pipe connectors on the steering rack.

0•10 Routine maintenance

Maintenance is essential for ensuring safety and desirable for the purpose of getting the best in terms of performance and economy from the car. Over the years the need for periodic lubrication has been greatly reduced if not totally eliminated. This has unfortunately tended to lead some owners to think that because no such action is required the items either no longer exist or will last forever. This is certainly not the case; it is essential to carry out regular visual examinations as comprehensively as possible in order to spot any possible defects at an early stage before they develop into major and expensive repairs.

1•6 Engine – general

Part 1: General

1 Description

1 The Uno may be powered by one of three

engines depending upon the particular model.

903 cc

2 This is of four cylinder overhead valve type with a light alloy cylinder head and a cast-iron block and crankcase. 3 A three bearing crankshaft is used and the chain-driven camshaft runs in three steel backed white metal bearings. 4 The light alloy pistons are fitted with two compression and one oil control ring. The gudgeon pin is an interference fit in the small end of the connecting rod. 5 Lubrication is provided by an oil pump within the sump pan and both the pump and the distributor are driven from a gear on the camshaft. Pressurised oil passes through a

cartridge type oil filter. An oil pressure relief valve is incorporated in the oil pump. The engine oil is independent of the transmission lubricant.

1116 cc and 1301 cc

6 These engines are of single overhead camshaft type, the camshaft being driven by a toothed belt. 7 The difference in engine capacity is achieved by increasing the cylinder bore on the 1301 cc engine. 8 The cylinder head is of light alloy while the cylinder block and crankcase are of cast-iron construction. 9 A five bearing crankshaft is used and the camshaft runs in a similar number of bearings, but as these are in-line bored directly in the camshaft carrier, no repair is possible. 10 The pistons are of light alloy with two compression and one oil control ring. The gudgeon pin is an interference fit in the small end of the connecting rod. 11 An auxiliary shaft, driven by the timing belt is used to drive the distributor, oil pump and fuel pump.

12 The oil pump is located within the sump pan and incorporates a pressure relief valve. 13 Pressurised oil passes through a cartridge type oil filter. 14 The crankshaft main bearings are supplied under pressure from drillings in the crankcase from the main oil gallery whilst the connecting rod big-end bearings are lubricated from the main bearings by oil forced through the crankshaft oilways. The camshaft bearings are fed from a drilling from the main oil gallery. The cams and tappets are lubricated by oil mist from outlets in the camshaft bearings. 15 The cylinder walls, pistons and gudgeon pins are lubricated by oil splashed up by the crankshaft webs. An oil pressure warning light is fitted to indicate when the pressure is too low.

All engines

16 The engine is mounted transversely with the transmission at the front of the car. 17 The engine oil is independent of the transmission lubricant.

2 Engine oil and filter

1 The engine oil level should be checked at the weekly service (see “Routine Maintenance”). Preferably check the level cold, first thing in the morning or if the engine has been running, allow at least ten minutes to elapse after switching off to permit the oil to drain. 2 Withdraw the dipstick, wipe it clean on non-fluffy material, re-insert it and then withdraw it for the second time (photo). 3 The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. If not, top up with specified oil to the MAX mark. Pour the oil slowly

through the filler orifice on the rocker cover. To raise the oil level from MIN to MAX will require approximately 1.1 litre (2.0 pints) (photos).

4 At the intervals specified in “Routine Maintenance” the oil and filter should be

renewed. 5 Have the engine at normal operating temperature, remove the oil filler cap. 6 Place a suitable container under the sump pan. Unscrew and remove the oil drain plug and allow the oil to drain (photo). 7 While the oil is draining, unscrew and discard the oil filter. To unscrew the filter, a filter or chain wrench will normally be required. If such a tool is not available, drive a long screwdriver through the oil tester casing and use it as a lever to unscrew the filter cartridge. 8 Smear the rubber sealing ring of the new oil filter with oil and screw into position using hand pressure only (photo). 9 Refit the drain plug and refill the engine with the correct quantity and grade of oil. 10 Start the engine. It will take two or three seconds for the oil warning lamp to go out. This is normal and is due to the time taken for the new filter to fill with oil. 11 Switch off, check for leaks and check the oil level, topping up if necessary.

3 Crankcase ventilation

system

1 This system is designed to draw oil fumes and blow-by gas (which has passed the piston rings) from the crankcase and draw it into the intake manifold when it will then be burned during the normal combustion process. 2 Regularly check the security of the system hoses which run from the rocker cover or crankcase breather unit (photo). 3 Periodically, detach the hoses and clean them out with paraffin and a brush or rag pull through. 4 Evidence of sludge or emulsified oil within the hoses or inside the oil filler cap will indicate that the engine is running too cool particularly if the car is used mainly for short journeys where the engine never reaches full working temperature.

4 Major operations possible

5 Valve clearances -

adjustment

1 Adjust the valves when the engine is cold. 2 Unbolt and remove the rocker cover. 3 It is important that the clearance is set

when the cam follower of the valve being adjusted is on the heel of the cam (ie; opposite the peak). This can be done by carrying out the adjustments in the following order, which also avoids turning the crankshaft more than necessary. 4 Turn the crankshaft either using a spanner on the pulley nut or by raising a front roadwheel, engaging a gear (3rd or 4th) and turning the wheel in the forward direction of travel. It will be easier to turn the engine if the spark plugs are first removed.

5 Count the valves from the timing cover end of the engine. 6 Remember, the inlet and exhaust valve clearances are different. 7 Insert the appropriate feeler gauge between the end of the valve stem and the rocker arm. It should be a stiff sliding fit (photo). 8 If the clearance is incorrect, release the rocker arm adjuster screw locknut using a ring spanner. Turn the adjuster screw using a small open-ended spanner, but tie something to it in case it is inadvertently dropped through one of the pushrod holes. 9 Once the clearance is correct, tighten the locknut without moving the position of the adjuster screw. 10 Repeat the operations on the remaining seven valves. 11 Re-check all the clearances. Make sure that the rocker cover gasket is in good condition and fit the rocker cover.

6 Timing chain and sprockets

- removal and refitting

1 Remove the alternator drivebelt as described in Chapter 2. 2 Unscrew and remove the crankshaft pulley nut.

3 Disconnect the hoses from the fuel pump. 4 Unbolt and remove the fuel pump with

spacer and rod. 5 Support the engine on a hoist or under the sump and disconnect and remove the right-hand mounting. Then unscrew and remove the timing cover bolts. The base of the cover is secured by the front two sump pan studs. Unbolt and lower the front end of the sump. Avoid breaking the gasket. Remove the timing cover. 6 Undo and remove the camshaft sprocket securing bolt; this will also release the fuel pump drive cam from the end of the camshaft. Note the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. 7 Using two tyre levers, carefully ease the two sprockets forwards away from the crankcase. Lift away the two sprockets and timing chain. 8 Remove the Woodruff key from the crankshaft nose with a pair of pliers and note how the channel in the pulley is designed to fit over it. Place the Woodruff key in a container as it is a very small part and can easily become lost. The camshaft sprocket is located on the camshaft by a dowel peg.

Refitting

9 Fit the Woodruff key to the front of the crankshaft. 10 Tap the crankshaft sprocket onto the front of the crankshaft. 11 Turn the sprocket so that the Woodruff key is uppermost. 12 Turn the camshaft until it is in such a position that if the sprocket was fitted the dimple timing mark on the sprocket would be nearest to and in alignment with, the one on the crankshaft sprocket.

Fig. 1.6 Timing chain and sprockets (Sec 6)

To prevent the crankshaft rotating, either select a gear and have an assistant apply

the footbrake hard or remove the starter motor and lock the ring gear teeth with a large cold chisel or screwdriver.

13 Engage the timing chain with the teeth of the crankshaft sprocket. Then locate the camshaft sprocket within the upper loop of the chain in such a way that when the sprocket is pushed onto the camshaft, the timing marks will be in alignment. Make sure that the self-tensioning links are on the inside of the chain against the cylinder block (photos). 14 Place the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft so that its positioning dowel engages. 15 Secure the camshaft sprocket by fitting the special cam, that drives the fuel pump, on its locating dowel. Fit the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt (photo). 16 Tighten the sprocket bolt to the specified torque. 17 If the timing cover oil seal showed signs of leaking before engine overhaul the old seal should be removed and a new one fitted. 18 Using a screwdriver, carefully remove the old oil seal, working from the rear of the cover. Fit the new seal making sure it is inserted squarely, and tap home with a hammer.

19 Lubricate the oil seal with engine oil. 20 With all traces of old gasket and jointing

compound removed from the timing cover and cylinder block mating faces, smear a little grease onto the timing cover mating face and fit a new gasket in position. 21 Fit the timing cover to the cylinder block and finger tighten the securing bolts, and spring washer. Ensure that the fuel pump pushrod bush is in place in the cover.

22 Wipe the hub of the pulley and carefully place into position on the crankshaft. It should locate on the Woodruff key. It may be necessary to adjust the position of the timing cover slightly in order to centralise the oil seal relative to the pulley hub. 23 Tighten the timing cover securing bolts in a diagonal and progressive manner. 24 Tighten the crankshaft pulley nut to the specified torque again holding the crankshaft against rotation as previously described (paragraph 2) this Section. 25 Refit the fuel pump and alternator drivebelt.

7 Cylinder head -

removal and refitting

1 For safety reasons, disconnect the battery negative lead. 2 Refer to Chapter 2 and drain the cooling system. 3 Refer to Chapter 3 and remove the carburettor, air cleaner and spacer block. 4 Undo and remove the five nuts and washers securing the exhaust manifold and hot air ducting to the cylinder head. 5 Detach the cable from the temperature indicator sender unit. 6 Refer to Chapter 4 and disconnect the distributor LT lead and the coil HT lead. 7 Refer to Chapter 2 and remove the thermostat housing from the cylinder head. 8 Disconnect the coolant hoses from the cylinder head. 9 Note the electrical connections to the rear of the alternator and disconnect them. 10 Disconnect the mounting and adjuster link bolts and remove the alternator from the engine. 11 Unscrew the four nuts securing the rocker cover to the top of the cylinder head and lift away the spring washers and metal packing pieces. Remove the rocker cover and cork gasket. 12 Unscrew the four rocker pedestal securing nuts in a progressive manner. Lift away the four nuts and spring washers and

ease the valve rocker assembly from the cylinder head studs. 13 Remove the pushrods, keeping them in the relative order in which they were removed. The easiest way to do this is to push them through a sheet of thick paper or thin card in the correct sequence. 14 Unscrew the cylinder head securing bolts half a turn at a time in the reverse order to that shown in Fig. 1.7; don’t forget the one within the inlet manifold. When all the bolts are no longer under tension they may be unscrewed from the cylinder head one at a time. This will also release a section of the cooling system pipe secured by two of the bolts. All the bolts have washers. 15 The cylinder head may now be lifted off. If the head is jammed, try to rock it to break the seal. Under no circumstances try to prise it apart from the cylinder block with a screwdriver or cold chisel as damage may be done to the faces of the head or block. If this or the Hint, fail to work, strike the head sharply with a plastic headed hammer, or with a wooden hammer, or with a metal hammer with an interposed piece of wood to cushion the blows. Under no circumstances hit the head directly with a metal hammer as this may cause the casting to fracture. Several sharp taps with the hammer, at the same time pulling upwards, should free the head. Lift the head off and place on one side.

16 The cylinder head may now be decarbonised or dismantled, refer to Section 17.

Refitting

17 After checking that both the cylinder block and cylinder head mating surfaces are perfectly clean, generously lubricate each cylinder with engine oil. 18 Always use a new cylinder head gasket as the old gasket will be compressed and not capable of giving a good seal.

If the head will not readily free, turn the crankshaft. The compression generated in the cylinders will often

break the gasket joint

19 Never smear grease on the gasket as, when the engine heats up, the grease will melt and may allow compression leaks to develop. 20 The cylinder head gasket cannot be fitted incorrectly due to its asymmetrical shape, but the word ALTO should be uppermost in any event (photo). 21 The locating dowels should be refitted to the front right and left-hand side cylinder head securing bolt holes. 22 Carefully fit the cylinder head gasket to the top of the cylinder block. 23 Lower the cylinder head onto the gasket, taking care not to move the position of the gasket. 24 Screw in the cylinder head bolts finger tight, remembering the bolt within the intake manifold and the metal coolant pipe which is held by the two cylinder head bolts adjacent to the coolant temperature sender unit (photos). 25 Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two stages, in the specified sequence to the torque given in Specifications. 26 With the cylinder head in position, fit the pushrods in the same order in which they were removed. Ensure that they locate properly in the stems of the tappets and lubricate the pushrod ends before fitment (photo). 27 Unscrew the rocker arm adjuster screws as far as they will go. 28 Fit the rocker gear over the four studs in the cylinder head and lower onto the cylinder head. Make sure the ball ends of the rockers locate in the cups of the pushrods.

29 Fit the four nuts and washers to the rocker shaft pedestal studs and tighten in a progressive manner to the torque wrench setting given in the Specifications. 30 Adjust the valve clearances as described in Section 5. 31 Fit the exhaust manifold, thermostat housing and alternator, also the rocker cover (photo). 32 Fit the carburettor, air cleaner and distributor (Chapter 4). 33 Reconnect all hoses and electrical leads, including the battery.

34 Refill the cooling system.

8 Sump pan -

removal and refitting

1 Drain the engine oil. 2 Unscrew and remove the four nuts and

twelve bolts and lift away the sump pan. If it has stuck on the gasket carefully tap the side of the mating flange to break the seal. Remove the gasket and clean away any pieces of gasket cement which are adhering to the flanges. 3 Remove the sealing strips from the recesses at either end of the sump pan.

Refitting

4 Fit the new sealing strips and if necessary, trim their ends until they are just proud of the sump pan flange (photo).

5 Using thick grease, stick the gasket side strips to the crankcase. 6 Apply a blob of jointing compound at the points of overlap of the side gaskets and strips. 7 Offer up the sump pan, screw in and tighten the bolts and nuts progressively (photos). 8 Refill the engine with oil.

removal and refitting

1 Remove the cylinder head as described in Section 7. 2 Remove the sump pan as described in Section 8. 3 Undo and remove the big-end cap retaining bolts and keep them in their respective order for correct refitting. 4 Check that the connecting rod and big-end bearing cap assemblies are correctly marked. Normally the numbers 1-4 are stamped on adjacent sides of the big-end caps and connecting rods, indicating which cap fits on which rod and which way round the cap fits. The numbers are located on the sides of the rod and cap furthest away from the camshaft. 5 If numbers are not evident, then use a sharp file to make mating marks across the rod/cap joint. One line for connecting rod No. 1, two for connecting rod No. 2 and so on. This will ensure that there is no confusion later as it is most important that the caps go back in the correct position on the connecting rods from which they were removed. No. 1 piston should be at the crankshaft pulley end of the engine. 6 If the big-end caps are difficult to remove they may be gently tapped with a soft-faced hammer. 7 To remove the shell bearings, press the bearing opposite the groove in both the connecting rod and the connecting rod caps and the bearings will slide out easily. 8 Keep the shells with their original cap or rod if the bearings are not being renewed. 9 Withdraw the pistons and connecting rods upwards and ensure that they are kept in the correct order for replacement in the same bore. 10 If the cylinder has a wear ridge at its upper end then this may make it difficult to remove the piston. In this event, relieve the sharp edge of the ridge by scraping. 11 Dismantling the pistons is described in Section 18, paragraph 17. 12 Lay the piston and connecting rod assemblies in the correct order ready for refitting into their respective bores.

13 With a wad of clean non-fluffy rag wipe the cylinder bores clean. 14 Position the piston rings so that their gaps are 120º apart and then lubricate the rings. 15 Wipe clean the connecting rod half of the big-end bearing and the underside of the shell bearing. Fit the shell bearing in position with its locating tongue engaged with the corresponding groove in the connecting rod. 16 Fit a piston ring compressor to the top of the piston, making sure it is tight enough to compress the piston rings. 17 Using a piece of fine wire double check that the little jet hole in the connecting rod is clean. 18 The pistons, complete with connecting rods, are fitted to their bores from above. The number stamped on the connecting rod must face away from the camshaft with the arrow on the piston crown pointing towards the timing cover.

19 With the base of the piston ring compressor resting on the cylinder block, apply the wooden handle of a hammer to the piston crown, strike the hammer head with the hand and drive the piston/rod into its bore (photo). 20 Draw the rod, complete with shell bearing down onto its crankpin. 21 Generously lubricate the crankpin journals with engine oil, and turn the crankshaft so that the crankpin is in the most advantageous position for the connecting rod to be drawn into it. 22 Wipe clean the connecting rod bearing cap and back of the shell bearing and fit the shell bearing in position ensuring that the locating tongue at the back of the bearing engages with the locating groove in the connecting rod cap. 23 Generously lubricate the shell bearing and offer up the connecting rod bearing cap to the connecting rod (photo).

1 Remove the sump pan as described in Section 8. 2 Unscrew the two bolts which hold the oil pump housing to the underside of the crankcase and withdraw the pump. Remove and discard the pump flange gasket.

Refitting

3 Stick a new gasket to the oil pump location on the underside of the crankcase (photo). 4 Locate the oil pump driveshaft in the oil pump and then offer up the complete assembly to the crankcase so that the gear teeth on the driveshaft mesh with those on the camshaft (photo).

5 Fit the securing bolts (photo). 6 Fit the sump pan and refill the engine with

oil.

11 Engine mountings -

renewal

1 The engine/transmission flexible mountings can be removed if the power unit is supported under the sump pan or gearbox with a jack, or a hoist is attached to the engine lifting lugs and the weight of the power unit just taken. 2 Unscrew the mounting bracket bolts and remove the mounting. 3 Fit the new mounting and remove the lifting gear. 4 In the unlikely event of all the mountings requiring renewal at the same time, renew them one at a time, never disconnect all the mountings together.

12 Engine - method of removal

1 The engine/transmission should be

removed downwards and withdrawn from under the front of the car which will have to be raised sufficiently high to provide clearance.

13 Engine/transmission -

removal and separation

1 Open the bonnet, disconnect the windscreen washer tube. 2 Mark the hinge positions on the underside of the bonnet using masking tape and then

with the help of an assistant to support its weight unbolt the bonnet and remove it to a safe place.

3 Disconnect the battery negative lead. 4 Drain the cooling system and engine oil. 5 Disconnect the leads from the rear of the

alternator, the starter motor and the oil pressure switch also the coolant temperature switch. 6 Disconnect the HT lead from the ignition coil and the LT lead from the distributor. Disconnect the transmission earth strap.

7 Remove the air cleaner. 8 Disconnect the clutch cable from the

release lever at the transmission. 9 Disconnect the speedometer drive cable by unscrewing the knurled nut from the transmission.

Remove the roadwheels. 18 Unscrew the driveshaft to hub nuts. These are very tight and a long knuckle bar will be required when unscrewing them. Have an

assistant apply the brakes hard to prevent the hub turning. 19 Working under the car, remove the protective shields and disconnect the exhaust system mountings and withdraw it to the rear. 20 Disconnect the forward ends of the gearchange rods by prising their sockets from the ballstuds. 21 Unscrew the nuts on the steering tie-rod end balljoints and using a suitable “splitter” tool separate the balljoints from the steering arms. Unbolt the brake calipers and tie them up out of the way. 22 Unscrew and remove the bolts which secure the hub carriers to the U-clamps at the base of the suspension struts (photo). 23 Pull the tops of the hub carriers from the clamps and release the driveshafts from the hub carriers.

24 Tie the driveshafts in a horizontal plane with lengths of wire. 25 Support the engine on a hoist or use a trolley jack under the engine/transmission and remove the bottom mounting and then the upper left and right-hand ones (photo). 26 Carefully lower the power unit to the floor and withdraw it from under the car. 27 External dirt and grease should now be removed using paraffin and a stiff brush or a water-soluble solvent. 28 Unbolt and remove the engine mounting brackets and the starter motor. 29 Unbolt and remove the cover plate and gearchange ball stud strut from the lower front face of the flywheel housing. 30 With the engine resting squarely on its sump pan unscrew the flywheel housing connecting bolts noting the location of any lifting lugs and hose and wiring brackets.

14 Engine - dismantling (general)

1 Stand the engine on a strong bench at a

suitable working height. Failing this, it can be dismantled on the floor, but at least stand it on a sheet of hardboard. 2 During the dismantling process, the greatest care should be taken to keep the exposed parts free from dirt. As the engine is stripped, clean each part in a bath of paraffin. 3 Never immerse parts with oilways in paraffin, e.g. the crankshaft, but to clean, wipe down carefully with a paraffin dampened rag. Oilways can be cleaned out with a piece of wire. If an air line is available, all parts can be blown dry and the oilways blown through as an added precaution. 4 Re-use of old gaskets is false economy and can give rise to oil and water leaks, if nothing worse. To avoid the possibility of trouble after the engine has been reassembled always use new gaskets throughout.

5 To strip the engine, it is best to work from the top downwards. The engine oil sump provides a firm base on which the engine can be supported in an upright position. When the stage is reached where the pistons are to be removed, turn the engine on its side. Turn the block upside down to remove the crankshaft. 6 Wherever possible, replace nuts, bolts and washers finger-tight from wherever they were removed. This helps avoid later loss and muddle. If they cannot be replaced then lay them out in such a fashion that it is clear from where they came.

Do not throw the old gaskets away as it sometimes happens that an

immediate replacement cannot be found and the old gasket is then very useful as a template. Hang up the gaskets on a suitable nail or hook as they are removed.

16 Engine -

complete dismantling

1 Unbolt and remove the rocker cover. 2 Unscrew the rocker pedestal securing nuts

and lift away the rocker assembly. 3 Remove the pushrods, keeping them in their original fitted order. 4 Remove the cylinder head as described in Section 7. Remove the dipstick and guide tube.

5 Turn the engine on its side and unbolt and remove the sump pan. 6 Remove the piston/connecting rods as described in Section 9. 7 Unscrew and remove the crankshaft pulley nut. To prevent the crankshaft rotating while this is done, either jam the flywheel ring gear or place a block between a crankshaft counterweight and the inside of the crankcase.

8 Unbolt and remove the timing cover. 9 Remove the timing chain and sprockets as

described in Section 6.

10 Unbolt and remove the oil pump as described in Section 10. 11 Unscrew and remove the camshaft front bearing lockscrew noting that the chamfer on the bearing is on the inboard side. 12 Withdraw the camshaft, taking great care not to damage the bearings with the cam lobes. 13 Lift out the cam followers and keep them in their originally fitted sequence. 14 Unbolt and remove the flywheel. Jam the ring gear teeth to prevent rotation.

15 Remove the engine rear plate. 16 Turn the cylinder block so that it is

standing upside down. 17 Unbolt and remove the crankshaft rear oil seal carrier. Note the sump fixing studs. 18 The main bearing caps should be marked 1, 2 and 3 but if they are not, centre punch them and note which way round they are located. 19 Unscrew the main bearing cap bolts progressively. 20 Remove the bearing caps and half shells. If the shell bearings are to be used again, keep them with their respective caps. 21 Note the semi-circular thrust washers on either side of the centre main bearing which control crankshaft endfloat.

22 Lift the crankshaft from the crankcase. 23 Remove the bearing shells from the

crankcase and mark them as to position if they are to be used again.

17 Cylinder head - dismantling

and decarbonising

1 The exhaust manifold and rocker gear will have been removed from the cylinder head during removal (see Section 7). 2 The valves should now be removed using a universal valve spring compressor. 3 Compress the first valve spring and extract the split cotters.

4 Gently release the compressor, take off the spring retaining cap, the valve spring and the spring seat. Remove the valve. Keep the valve with its associated components together and in numbered sequence so that they can be returned to their original positions. 5 A small box with divisions is useful for this purpose. Remove and discard the valve stem oil seals.

6 Remove the other valves in a similar way. 7 Bearing in mind that the cylinder head is of

If the valve spring refuses to compress, do not apply excessive force, but remove

the compressor and place a piece of tubing on the spring retainer and strike it a sharp blow to release the collets from the valve stem. Refit the compressor and resume operations when the collets should come out.
