CYLINDER HEADE.8
Fig. E.12.
Adjusting Valve Clearance.
4.
Adjust valve clearances to 0.012 in (0.30 mm) in
the following manner:
(a) With the valves rocking on No. 4 cylinder, set
the clearances on No. 1 cylinder.
(b) With the valves rocking on No. 2 cylinder, set
the clearances on No. 3 cylinder.
(c) With the valves rocking on No. 1 cylinder, set
the clearances on No. 4 cylinder.
(d) With the valves rocking on No. 3 cylinder, set
the clearances on No. 2 cylinder.
Using a new joint, lit the rocker cover and secure
with four plain washers, spring washers and screws.
5.
Assemble the inlet and exhaust manifolds to the
cylinder head using new joints and caskets.
Connect the electrical lead and fuel feed pipe to the
thermostart unit.
6.
Refit the atomizers with new copper sealing
washers and tighten down the securing nuts evenly
ensuring the atomizer is squarely on its seat. Refit
the high pressure fuel pipes to the injection pump
and atomizer, (see Pages N.9 and N.13).
7.
Fit the breather pipe assembly to the cylinder head
cover.
8.
Refit the fuel filter to the cylinder head securing it
with the two setscrews and spring washers. Refit
the fuel pipe connecting the lift pump outlet to the
fuel filter.
9.
Fit the fuel pipe connecting the fuel filter to the
injection pump inlet also the pipe connecting the
injection pump outlet to the fuel filter.
10.
Refit the atomizer leak-off pipe assembly.
11.
Fit the heat exchanger and secure with the
setscrews.
12.
Reconnect the lubricating oil pipes to the lubricating
oil cooler.
13.
Reconnect the water connection between the fresh
water pump and the heat exchanger, also the sea
water connections between the heat exchanger and
exhaust manifold jacket.
14.
Using a new gasket, connect the exhaust pipe to
the exhaust manifold.
15.
Refit the air filter and connections. Fit the water
outlet hose. Re-connect the battery terminals.
16.
Fill the cooling system with clean water ensuring
that the drain taps are turned off. Check for water
leaks.
17.
Bleed the air front the fuel system as detailed on
Page N.14 and start the engine.
18.
Run the engine until normal operating temperature
is attained and retighten the cylinder head
nuts/setscrews, in sequence Fig. E.11, and to the
correct torque as given on Page B.).
Note:
When
retightening
cylinder
head
nuts/setscrews, the engine coolant
outlet temperature should not be
less,, than 170° F (77° C).
If the nut setscrew moves when
retightened, then tighten up to the
torque quoted on Page B.1.
If the nut setscrew does not move
before the correct torque is achieved.
then slacken off 1/12 to 1/6 of a turn
(30° to 60° ) and retighten to the
correct figure
After
retightening
all
the
nuts/setscrews, the first 10 positions
should be rechecked without further
slackening off to ascertain they are
still tightened to the torque quoted.
19.
Reset the valve clearance to 0.012 in (0.3,0 mm)
cold (see item 4). Fit the cylinder head cover
ensuring that there are no oil leaks at the joint.
Note:
After the first 25/50 hours running,
the
rocker
assembly
should
be
removed and the cylinder head
nuts/setscrews again retightened to
the correct torque and the sequence
shown in Fig. E.11. Ensure the
correct procedure is followed as in
above 18. Replace rocker assembly
and set valve clearance to 0.012 in
(0.30 mm) with the engine cold.
As from Engine Nos. 236U135765 and 236U147150L, engines are built to conform to BSAU141a 1971 regulations and should only be fitted
with the later cylinder head and cylinder head gasket. The valve depths should also conform to the Production limits as given on Page B.7.
