21 The oil pump fitted to the 1049 cc engine is a
Hobourn-Eaton rotor type of pump which is quite
different from the gear pump fitted to the 903 cc
engine. It consists of a four lobed rotor rotating
in a five slotted outer rotor which is mounted
eccentrically to the inner rotor. As the inner rotor
rotates the outer rotor is driven round, and the
spaces between the lobes on the inner rotor and
the slots in the outer rotor increase and
decrease once per revolution. The increasing
spaces are connected to the pump inlet and
cause oil to be drawn into the pump. The
decreasing spaces connect with the pump outlet

where A is the specified torque loading (Ibf ft or


kgf m), B is the torque to be set, or read, when
using an extension (Ibf ft or kgf m), y is the
length of extension (ft or m), and z is the length
of torque wrench (ft or m).
Example: Specified torque is 60 Ibf ft, length of
extension is 6 in, and length of torque wrench is
2 ft, then B = (60 x 2) = (6/12 + 2) = 120 =2'/z =

Distributor - refitting
64 The distributor is mounted nearly vertical on
the oil filter side of the engine and is driven by
skew gears from the auxiliary shaft. In turn the
distributor shaft also drives the oil pump through
a splined coupling (photo).
65 It is more convenient to set the contact
breaker gap before fitting the distributor to the
engine. Adjust to the specified clearance
(photo).
66 Turn the crankshaft in the normal direction of 3.70 Distributor clamp bolt
rotation until the line on the crankshaft pulley is
adjacent to the first of the three pointers on the
timing bracket. This is 100 BTDC, the second
pointer is 50 BTDC and the large, third pointer is
TDC. Note which cylinder, either 1 or 4, is on the
compression stroke. This is indicated by both of
the inlet and exhaust cams pointing upwards
causing their relative valves to be shut. 67
Rotate the distributor shaft until the rotor is
opposite the terminal in the distributor cap
serving the same cylinder number as the one
which was on compression stroke and with the
contact breaker points just breaking.
68 Lubricate the distributor skew gear with clean
engine oil and insert the distributor into the

how much it turns as the skew gears mesh.
