Gear Tooth Contact Pattern Check

Gear Tooth Nomenclature


The side of the ring gear tooth which curves outward, or
is convex, is referred to as the "drive" side. The concave side
is the "coast" side. The end of the tooth nearest center of ring
gear is referred to as the "toe" end.
The end of the tooth farthest away from center is the
"heel" end. Toe end of tooth is smaller than heel end. It is
very im portant that tooth contact be tested before the differ­
ential carrier assembly is disassembled. Variations in the car­
rier or pinion rear bearing may cause the pinion to be too far
away from, or close to, the ring gear. Thus, the tooth contact
m ust be tested and corrected if necessary, or the gears may
be noisy.

Effects of Increasing Load on Tooth Contact


Pattern
W hen "load" on ring and pinion gear is increased, such
as when car is accelerated forward from standstill or from
norm al drive, the tooth contact will tend to spread out, and
under very heavy load will extend from near toe to near heel
on the drive side. The entire contact also tends to shift tow ard
heel under increasingly heavier loads and will become some­
w hat broader with respect to tops and bottom s of teeth. The
patterns obtained by tooth pattern tests, dependent upon
degree of "loading", approxim ate a norm al light load. For

Pinion and/or Bearing Replacement


1. If necessary to replace pinion bearings tap old cups out
of carrier using a brass drift (fig. IOC). Tap alternately
on opposite sides of cup to prevent cups from cocking
in carrier. Inspect cup seats and bore for any nicks or
burrs and remove as necessary before installing new

To facilitate adjusting o f pinion depth in the ring gear,
there are five shims available for service use. They are .012",
.015", .018", .021" and .024".

rubber parts. Be particularly careful during reassembly that
no grease or mineral oil comes in contact with these rubber
parts.

Inspection
Carefully inspect each part for damage and wear, inspect
rubber parts for cuts, nicks and distortion. These rubber
parts are the key to control of air flow and should account
for the majority of trouble traceable to leakage. If there is any
question whatever as to serviceability of any part, replace it.

Inspection
In general, the lower half of the bearing (except No. 1
bearing) shows a greater wear and the most distress from
fatigue. If upon inspection the lower half is suitable for use,
it can be assumed that the upper half is also satisfactory. If
the lower half shows evidence of wear or damage, both upper
and lower halves should be replaced. Never replace one half
w ithout replacing the other half.

Checking Clearance
To obtain the most accurate results with "Plastigage", (or
its equivalent) a wax-like plastic m aterial which will com ­
press evenly between the bearing and journal surfaces w ith­
out damaging either surface, certain precautions should be
observed. If the engine is out of the vehicle and upside down,

Inspection
W ith the cam shaft removed, inspect the bearings for evi­
dence of wear or damage. (Bearings showing the above
should be replaced.)

Removal
Cam shaft bearings can be replaced while engine is disas­
sembled for overhaul, or w ithout complete disassembly of the
engine. To replace bearings w ithout complete disassembly
remove the camshaft and crankshaft leaving cylinder heads
attached and pistons in place. Before removing crankshaft,
tape threads of connecting rod bolts to prevent damage to
crankshaft. Fasten connecting rods against sides of engine so
they will not be in the way while replacing camshaft bearings.
1. W ith cam shaft and crankshaft removed, drive camshaft
rear plug from cylinder block.

NOTE: This procedure is based on removal of the


bearings nearest center of the engine first. With this
method a minimum amount of turns are necessary
to remove all bearings.

The performance of the following operation is contingent
upon engine condition at time of repair.
If the cylinder block inspection indicated th at the block
was suitable for continued use except for out-of-round or
tapered cylinders, they can be conditioned by honing or bor­
ing.
If the cylinders were found to have less than .005" taper
or wear they can be conditioned with a hone and fitted with
the high limit standard size piston. A cylinder bore of less
then .005" wear or taper may not entirely clean up when
fitted to a high limit piston. If it is desired to entirely clean

been replaced by a Combination Emission Control
Valve (C.E.C. Valve). The C.E.C. valve with bracket is

energized through the transmission, acts as a throttle
stop by increasing idle speed of the engine during high
gear operation to help in controlling overrun hydrocar­
bons during deceleration. Further, the C.E.C. valve
controls distributor vacuum spark advance by provid­

Cleaning and Inspection

CAUTION: Do not immerse the C.E.C. valve in any


type of carburetor cleaner or solvent.

The carburetor should be cleaned in a cold immersion type


cleaner.
1. Thoroughly clean carburetor castings and metal parts
in an approved carburetor cleaner.

CAUTION: Any rubber parts, plastic parts, dia­


phragms, pump plungers, electric parts and solen­
oids, should not be immersed in carburetor cleaner.
However, the air horn which has the pressure relief
valve will withstand normal cleaning in carburetor
cleaner. Make sure the cleaning solution is
thoroughly removed from pressure relief valve area.

2. Blow out all passages in castings with compressed air.


Do not pass drills through jets or passages.

Reverse Idler Gear Bushing


The bushing used in the idler gear is pressed into the gear
and finished bored in place. This insures the positive align­
m ent of the bushing and shaft as well as proper meshing of
the gears. Because of the high degree of accuracy to which
these parts are machined, the bushing is not serviced sepa­
rately.

Reverse Idler Gear Bushings


The bushing used in the idler gear is pressed into the gear
and finish bored in place. This insures the positive alignment
of the bushing and shaft as well as proper meshing of the
gears. Because of the high degree of accuracy to which these
parts are m achined, the bushing is not serviced separately.

Countergear Anti-Lash Plate


Inspect the plate teeth for wear or other damage. The
plate and two dam per springs are retained to the countergear
by three rivets. Disassembly is not recommended (fig. 23X).

(J ) CAUTION: In addition to its function of filtering air drawn into the engine through the carburetor, the air cleaner also
acts as a flame arrestor in the event the engine backfires. Because backfiring may cause fire in the engine compartment,
the air cleaner should be installed at all times unless its removal is necessary for repair or maintenance services.
Paper Element Type—First 12,000 miles, inspect element for dust leaks, holes, or other damage and replace if necessary.
If satisfactory, rotate element 180° from original installation position. Replace element at 24,000 miles. Element must
not be washed, oiled, tapped, or cleaned with an air hose. If so equipped, replace P.C.V. breather filter every 24,000
miles (do not attempt to clean). If so equipped, clean wire mesh frame arrester every 12,000 miles.
© Mechanical—Set with engine at operating temperature and running.
© See “ TUNE-UP” section.
® Replace filter element located in carburetor inlet every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

CRANKCASE VENTILATION Replace at 24,000 miles

(T) PSI at Cranking Speed, throttle wide open - Maximum variation, 20 PSI between cylinders.

(2) 6 Cylinder engine - Rotate cam lubricator 180° at 12,000 mile intervals - Replace at 24,000 mile intervals.
8 Cylinder engine - Change cam lubricator end for end at 12,000 mile intervals - Replace at 24,000 mile intervals.

(3) At idle speed with vacuum advance line disconnected and plugged. On Step Van vehicles, use number two cylinder
and timing tab on bottom of cover. B - B.T.D.C.

(4) CAUTION: In addition to its function of filtering air drawn into the engine through the carburetor, the air cleaner
also acts as a flame arrestor in the event the engine backfires. Because backfiring may cause fire in the engine
compartment, the air cleaner should be installed at all times unless its removal is necessary for repair or main­
tenance services.
Paper Element Type - First 12,000 miles, inspect element for dust leaks, holes, or other damage and replace if
necessary. If satisfactory, rotate element 180° from original installation position. Replace element at 24,000
miles. Element must not be washed, oiled, tapped, or cleaned with an air hose. If so equipped, replace P.C.V.
breather filter every 24,000 miles (do not attempt to clean). If so equipped, clean wire mesh frame arrestor every
12,000 miles
Oil Bath Type - The oil level in the oil bath air cleaner reservoir should be checked every 12,000 miles and suf­
ficient S.A.E. 50 oil added when temperature is above freezing or S.A.E. 20 oil added when temperature is below
freezing. Adding oil and servicing the cleaner will vary greatly, depending upon operating conditions.
Oil Wetted Paper Element With Polyurethane Wrap - This dual element air cleaner has extremely long life and
will not require replacement for 50,000 to 100,000 miles under normal operating conditions. Cleaning and oiling
of the polyurethane wrap should be done at 24,000 miles under normal highway or city-type operation. Service
under off-the-road or extremely dusty operations should be performed at 12,000 miles or less depending upon
severity of operating conditions

(5) See "TUNE-UP" section.


(§) Replace filter element located in carburetor inlet every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
