engine oil, SAE 20 or 20/50 grade and refit the hexagon plug and
piston assembly

Lubricating distributor
1. Remove distributor cap.
2. Lift off rotor arm.
3. Apply a few drops of oil to the felt pad in the centre of the
rotor spindle.
4. Lightly grease the cam surface.
5.
Wipe away surplus oil and grease.
6.
Refit the rotor arm and distributor cap.
Check condition and adjust distributor points
1.
Remove the distributor cap and rotor arm.
2. Turn the engine so that the heel of the contact breaker is
on the highest point of the cam. (it may be necessary to remove the
sparking plugs to eliminate resistance caused by engine compression).
3. Slacken the slotted head screw in the contact plate and
adjust until the gap is 0.38 mm (0.015 in) ( Figure 6 ). The gap is
measured with a suitable feeler gauge and pressure should be applied
to the points, with the feeler gauge inserted, whilst the screw is being
tightened.
4. Retighten the screw and make a further check with the
feeler gauge in case tightening has altered the setting.
5. Reposition the rotor arm squarely on the distributor cam
boss with the slot and lug in line. Press the rotor into position on the
spindle
Note: When the rotor is fitted to the spindle the lower face does not
abut the cam.
If the points are badly worn or pitted they should be replaced. For
replacement procedure see
Section T .
Clean and adjust spark plugs
1. Remove each spark plug in turn from engine.
2. Clean the electrodes with a wire brush or plug cleaner.
3. Using a 0.64 mm (0.025 in) feeler gauge, check the gap and
adjust if necessary by bending the side electrode towards or away
from the central electrode as necessary.
4. Discard plugs which have badly burned electrodes or
cracked ceramic insulators. A centre electrode in good condition will
still have a square form without signs of wear.

3. Fuel trap.
5. Refit the plugs complete with washers and tighten to a
torque of 2.1 kg/m (15 lb/ft)
Check torque of cylinder head nuts
Cylinder head nuts should be tightened to a torque of 3.46 kg/m (25
lb/ft). The three 5/16 in unf nuts fitted to the spark plug side must be
tightened to a torque of 2.07 kg/m (15 lb/ft). The correct sequence for
cylinder head nuts tightening is shown in
Section F
Check and adjust valve rocker clearances
Valve clearances are 0.152 mm (0.006 in) cold, 0.254 mm (0.010 in)
hot.
1. Remove rocker cover.
2. Remove spark plugs.
3. Turn engine in normal running direction in order to open
and close the valves and check in the following order:
No. 1 valve with No. 8 valve fully open.
No. 2 valve with No. 7 valve fully open.
No. 3 valve with No. 6 valve fully open.
No. 4 valve with No. 5 valve fully open.
No. 5 valve with No. 4 valve fully open.
No. 6 valve with No. 3 valve fully open.
No. 7 valve with No. 2 valve fully open.
No. 8 valve with No. 1 valve fully open.
When adjustment is made the valve must be in the fully closed
position (
figure 7 ).
4. Refit spark plugs.
5. Refit rocker cover, renewing gasket if necessary and secure
with nuts and washers.
