            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.

            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).

              Click For Full Size Image
              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).

        2/ - Tightening the cylinder head bolts.

          Click For Full Size Image
          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.
          The bolts are to be tightened in three separate movements.
          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.

          Click For Full Size Image
          c/ - Third phase:

            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.
            Tighten the rocker arm assembly securing nuts and bolts to: 2 to 2.75 m.da N (15 to 20 lb/ft).

          Click For Full Size Image
          Adjust the rocker arm by means of tool (Part No 46E 6356): use the knurled nut to adjust the clearance and the lever to lock and unlock each adjuster lock nut.
          Valve clearance on a cold engine:

            - inlet: 0.20 mm (.008")
            - exhaust: 0.25 mm (.010")
          As the tappets are fitted in the cylinder head it is possible that they will stick slightly in their bores.
          Before adjusting each rocker arm, lightly tap the adjusting screw to be sure that the tappet is resting on the cam.
          Do not use the camshaft pulley securing bolt to turn the engine.
          Therefore:
            - lift one side of the vehicle.
            - engage 4th gear.
            - rotate the driven road wheel in the forward drive direction.
          Refit the manifold (if removed during these operations) using a new gasket of the correct type, which corresponds to the inlet parts of the manifold.
          Tighten the manifold nuts and socket bolts to a torque of 1.5 to 2.5 m.da N (10 to 20 lb/ft).

          The deflection should be: 7 to 9.5 mm (9/32" to3/8").
          If the deflection is incorrect, adjust the belt tension.
          Fit:

            - the water pump drive belt adjusting shims.
            - the belt.
            - the outer pulley flange.
          Slowly tighten the outer flange securing bolts while turning the engine in order to avoid damage to the belt.
          NOTE - Under no circumstances should the camshaft pulley securing bolt be used to turn the engine.
          One must therefore:
            - Lift one side of the vehicle.
            - Engage 4th gear.
            - Rotate the driven road wheel in the forward drive direction.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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.
