REFITTING THE CYLINDER HEAD.
-
The operation of correctly positioning the cylinder head and its gasket is a very important one. It is this in fact that determines the distributor drive shaft alignment with the drive pinion. If this should be necessary (as a result of incorrectly positioning the cylinder head, for example), it is not to be used again.
-
1) - Position the cylinder head gasket.
-
- Engines - European Specification.
)
Positioning tool set (Part No 46E 6423) is required for this operation and consists of:
-
- 1 gasket locating dowel (1).
- 1 cylinder head locating gauge (2).
Fit the gasket locating dowel (1) at the clutch end of the cylinder block, at the camshaft side.
Ensure that the cylinder head locating dowel bush is in fact in position in the block.
Fit the gasket: once it is in place, it is not to be removed.
Fit the rubber gasket round the tappet compartment, avoiding overlapping the cylinder head gasket at the ends.
NOTE - The cylinder gasket is sold together with the tappet compartment gasket.
This gasket is only to be fitted to cylinder blocks with 9 holes and to timing gear casings with 4 holes.
If it is fitted to a timing gear casing with 2 holes, cut off the two excess studs flush with the gasket.
Fit the tappets to the cylinder head in the correct order: lightly tap them so that they stick into their locations.
)
Fit the gauge (2) into the upper hole of the cylinder block at the clutch end with the two lugs (T) parallel with the longitudinal centre line of the engine.
Position the cylinder head and place it on the cylinder block:
-
before it makes contact with the cylinder head place the manifold locating face against the two lugs (T) on gauge (2).
From this point onwards, do not touch the cylinder head.
Remove the locating dowel.
Lightly lubricate the cylinder head bolts with engine oil.
Fit the bolts and screw them slowly in.
- Engines - U.S.A. Federal Specification. [5]
)
Additional tools and dowels different than those in positioning set (Part No 46E 6423) are specified for U.S.A. Federal engines.
This set (Part No 46E 6422) consists of:
-
- 2 positioning dowels (1).
- 1 cylinder head locating gauge (2).
- 2 tee handles (3) - Use only the shorter one.
l/- Position the cylinder head gasket Engines - U.S.A. Federal Specification.
)
Slide side-gauge (2) into the engine block hole located on the cylinder side of the engine block at the clutch end [9], with the two prongs (T) uppermost and parallel with the engine block centre line.
Be sure that the cylinder head positioning sleeve (indicated by the arrow in the illustration) is in place on the top of the engine block.
Install the cylinder head gasket:
Once it is installed DO NOT remove it.
If the gasket must be removed (because the cylinder head was not correctly positioned, for instance), discard it and use a new one.
Install the positioning studs (1) as illustrated, and screw them in until the spring-loaded balls apply just enough pressure on the cylinder head gasket to keep it flat against the engine block.
Install the camshaft housing rubber gasket.
Be sure that its ends fit inside the corresponding cut-out portions of the cylinder head gasket and do NOT overlap it.
Install the cam followers in their housing, in the same order they were removed. Tap them lightly to keep them in place.
Check that the ignition distributor drive pinion is correctly positioned, as described on page 40. [6]
Slide the cylinder head slowly over the positioning studs.
)
Before it makes contact with the cylinder head gasket, be sure that its manifold side is resting against the two prongs (T) of side-gauge (2).
Be careful not to disturb the camshaft housing rubber gasket.
Once the cylinder head has made contact with its gasket leave it undisturbed.
Lightly lubricate the threads of the cylinder head bolts with engine oil.
Install two bolts at the centre of the cylinder head and tighten them lightly.
)
Use the short T-handle (3) to remove the positioning studs.
Install the remaining cylinder head bolts and tighten them lightly.
Do not forget to install the spacers beneath the heads of the two front bolts (closest to the timing chain end of the engine block).
2 - Tightening the cylinder head bolts.
-
The operation of tightening the cylinder head bolts is an important one, and there is a risk of leakage if it is incorrectly carried out.
This operation is to be carried out with great accuracy and the torques applied to the bolts must be carried out gradually.
We therefore forbid the use of "break back" release type torque wrenches for this operation. We request that you should only use direct reading torque wrenches, e.g., wrench (Part No 46E 6353).
)
The bolts are to be tightened in 3 separate movements.
a) - First phase:
-
Tighten to 4 m.da N (30 lb/ft) in the order shown.
b.) - Second phase:
-
Tighten to 7.5 to 8 m.da N (55 to 58 lb/ft) after having loosened the bolts by ¼ of a turn.
Ensure that the tightening order is followed correctly and that the torque is accurate. Pull the bolts up smoothly without jerking them.
c.) - Third phase.
-
The third operation is to be carried out after the engine is fitted to the vehicle.
Start the engine, allow it to warm up for 10 minutes, then switch off and allow it to cool for 50 minutes.
Remove the rocker arm cover.
Loosen the bolts by ¼ of a turn and re-tighten them to 8.75 m.da N (63 lb/ft).
)
NOTE -
For the first 8 bolts, use a torque wrench extension (Part No 46E 6447).
For the last 2 bolts, use wrench (Part No 46E 6360) with crank extension piece (Part No 46E 6446).
Because of this cranked tool the tightening torque on this is to be reduced by 10%. i.e.: 7.5 to 8 m. da N (55 to 58 lb/ft).
Fit the push rods and the rocker arm assembly. Make sure that the two end supports locate correctly on their dowels.
)
Tighten the rocker arm assembly securing nuts to a torque of 2 to 2.75 m.da N (15 to 20 lb/ft) using a torque wrench (Part No 46E 6353).
)
Adjust the rocker arm clearance by means of spanner (Part No. 46E 6356):
-
- inlet: 0.20 mm (.008")
- exhaust: 0.25 mm (.010")
Before adjusting each rocker arm lightly tap the adjusting screw, to make sure that the tappet is in fact resting on the camshaft.
Refit the distributor and temporarily adjust its static timing.

Cylinder head removal operation.
)
As the cylinder head gasket sticks to the cylinder head, cylinder block and liners, it is very important that you should not lift the cylinder head, which would cause the liners to come unstuck at the bottom, and result in dirt entering and damage to the lower seals.
)
The cylinder head is to be twisted horizontally around the locating dowel on the distributor side to free it from the cylinder block.
To remove the cylinder head:
)
Loosen the securing bolts and remove them except for the centre bolt on the distributor side: This is used as a pivot point and to prevent the cylinder head rising.
Free the cylinder head by tapping its ends with a plastic mallet to impart a horizontal rotating movement.
Remove the centre bolt.
Partly lift the cylinder head, remove the tappets (put them aside in the order in which they are removed).
Remove the cylinder head.
)
B - CLEANING THE GASKET FACES
-
It is very important that the gasket faces on the cylinder block and the cylinder head should not be scraped with a sharp tool.
In fact, any distortion of this face however small, can cause leakage past the cylinder head gasket.
Use only Trichlorethylene to remove the part of the gasket, which remains sticking to the cylinder head and the cylinder block.
)
Check the liner projection: 0.12 to 0.19 mm (.006 to .0075").

2/ - Tightening the cylinder head bolts.
)
Tightening the cylinder head bolts is an important operation and leaks past the gasket may result if it is carried out incorrectly.
They are to be tightened with the highest possible degree of accuracy and the torque is to be applied to the bolts smoothly, without jerking them.
We therefore forbid tightening these bolts with a "break-back" release type torque wrench.
We request that you should use a direct reading torque wrench only.
The one we recommend is (Part No 46E 6353).
Furthermore, one must also have the following accessories:
-
an extension for the first eight bolts.
special wrench (Part No 46E 6360) for the last two bolts.
a/ - First phase:
-
Tighten to 4m.da N (30 lb/ft) in the older shown.
b/ - Second phase:
-
Tighten to 7.5 to 8 m.da N (55 to 58 lb/ft), after first loosening the bolts by ¼ of a turn. Ensure that the torque and tightening order are correct. If the bolts "jerk" and will not tighten smoothly and positively, they are to be screwed in and out a number of times.
)
-
NOTE – Use a 17 mm socket on the end of the wrench.
The third tightening phase is to be carried out after having run the engine.
Fit the push rods and the rocker assembly.
Make certain that the two end supports engage correctly on their locating studs.

- Unlock and unscrew the retaining cylinder screw.
- Insert a 3 mm socket key into the retaining cylinder.
- turn the key in a clockwise direction until the pad carrier assembly is no longer under tension.
)
)
Remove the crankshaft sprocket and chain assembly using extractor (Part No 46E 6434) whilst pulling back the camshaft.
Remove the camshaft.
Oil the camshaft bearing areas and insert it: do not push it fully in.
Place the chain on the camshaft sprocket:
)
Align the reference on the sprocket with the centre of the crankshaft and the centre of the camshaft.
Turn the crankshaft to bring the key uppermost.
Fit the crankshaft sprocket (with the reference mark facing towards the outside) on the chain.
The reference mark is to be in line with that on the camshaft sprocket and the centre of the crankshaft and the camshaft.
When the reference marks are in line engage the sprocket onto the crankshaft: fit it by means of a tube while gradually pushing the camshaft into position.
)
When the chain is correctly tensioned, the line passing through the reference mark is no longer directly in line with the camshaft centre.
)
Fit the crankshaft sprocket spacer, thrust washer and bolt.
Tighten the bolt to 6 m.da N (45 lb/ft) using torque wrench (Part No 46E 6353).
Fit and tighten the two camshaft bolts.
)
Fit the chain tensioner (together with its filter and its backplate.
Tighten the two bolts.
Insert a 3 mm (.118") hexagon socket into the retaining cylinder.
Turn the key in an anti-clockwise direction until the body carrier assembly is projected against the chain.
Tighten and lock the retaining cylinder bolt.
NOTE - The filter is:
-
- 20.5 mm (13/16") long for tensioners on which the backplate is 2 mm (.079"} thick
- 19.5 mm (49/64") for tensioners on which the backplate is 1 mm (.040") thick.
)
If the engine is fitted with one lug only, fit the lug so that it is parallel with the chain, when the chain is tensioned, at a distance: D = 0.8 mm (.032") from it.
If the engine is fitted with two lugs:
)
Place the two lugs against the chain and tighten the securing bolts.
Remove the gauge.
)
Fit timing gear casing with its gasket smeared with a jointing compound.
Fit the bolts and align the upper face of the casing with the upper face of the cylinder block.
Tighten the bolts.
Refit the:
-
- camshaft bearing
- sump (oil pan)
- cylinder head
- engine.
E.14 - ENGINE MOUNTINGS - Section Menu
New engine mountings (Part No. 054 E 6000) have been introduced as a running change into current production, and consequently no chassis number introduction is available. The new mountings lower the engine by approximately ½ in.
This engine lowering is particularly important when a radio suppression kit is fitted in conjunction with a radio (see Section 'M'), as the screening plate over the engine could foul the air cleaner.
E.15 - CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET - Section Menu
Commencing at Engine No. 2557 Non-Emission, and 1255 Exhaust Emission, a new crankshaft sprocket (Part No. A046 E 6072) which is a press fit on the crankshaft has been used.
The bolt (Part No. A046 E 6012), washer (Part No. A046 E 6074) and spacer (Part No. A046 E 6C73) are no longer required in the new application.
