I. DESCRIPTION
The engine is a six cylinder in-line, over-head valve
type and is inclined 30 degrees from the vertical to the
right.
A chrome alloy cast iron cylinder head has wedge
shaped combustion chambers and integral valve guides.
Aluminium tubes in the cylinder head serve as gaskets for
the spark plugs.
Poppet type valves, with single springs are installed on
the cylinder head. The valves are operated by stamped
rocker arms in conjunction with push rods and tappets
actuated by the camshaft.
The rocker arms are positioned on the one piece
rocker shaft by hardened steel spacers used between pairs
of rocker arms and seven rocker shaft brackets on the
cylinder head. The rocker shaft is located in position by
bolts and stamped steel retainers attached to the brackets.
A cast iron cylinder block and integral crankcase is
line bored for the crankshaft main bearings and the
camshaft bearings. A water pump housing is cast in the
forward end of the block. Bores in the block are provided
for the solid cylindrical tappets.
A counter-weighted balanced crankshaft runs in four
main bearings. End thrust is taken at No 3 bearing. The
front end of the crankshaft carries a vibration damper, valve
timing sprocket and pulley for fan and alternator belt drive.
The flywheel is bolted to the flanged rear end.
The camshaft has integral oil pump and distributor
drive gear, and fuel pump eccentric, carries the valve timing
sprocket at its forward end and runs in four bearings. End
thrust is taken on the rear face of the timing sprocket
bearing directly on the front face of the cylinder block.
End thrust of the camshaft occurs only to the rear on
account of the drive reaction at the oil pump and
distributor drive gear and the taper on the cam lobes.
The camshaft and the crankshaft sprocket are
coupled by an endless chain.
The cam ground pistons are tin plated aluminium
alloy with steel strut and have two compression rings and
one oil control ring each. Oil control rings on VC, VE and
VF series are steel segment type.
Bushings in the piston bosses provide bearings for the
gudgeon pins which are a press fit in H section forged
connecting rods. The gudgeon pins are offset to the right
side of the engine.
Big end bearings are steel backed babbit shell type.
An eccentric rotor type oil pump is mounted
Engine Assembly (Right Hand Side) .'

Engine--7
Engine Assembly (Left Hand Side) .'
externally on the lower right side of the cylinder block.
The pump draws oil through a screen in the sump and
delivers it via a full flow, replaceable element oil filter to
the oil gallery from where it is distributed to the crankshaft
main bearings, the camshaft bearings and the overhead
rocker and valve mechanism. The pump incorporates a
pressure relief valve.
Induction and exhaust manifolds are both on the left
of the engine. They are bolted together at a central
connection permitting exhaust heat, controlled by a
thermostatic heat control valve, to be directed to a heat
chamber in the induction manifold below the carburettor.
A choke thermostatic control is located in a pocket in the
exhaust manifold.
Air is filtered through a gauze in the oil filler cap and
is drawn out with crankcase fumes through a ventilation
valve on the rocker cover and thence by a hose to a
connection on the induction manifold. This provides
positive crankcase ventilation.
Early engines have a compression ratio of 8.2: I. Later
engines have a ratio of 8.4 : I. Pacer engine h~ a
compression ratio of 9.2: I.
