From August 1967, Chassis No 218001941 (Engine No
B0002333) a modified oil filter is fitted which incorporates
a spring loaded valve and a funnel shaped insert riveted to
the bottom of the filter. This modification ensures oil flow
even if the filter should become blocked. The new oil filter
can be installed in all engines having a .550" diameter oil
lift pipe.
From August 1966, Chassis No 217010233 (Engine No
H0263648) the oil pressure relief valve plunger (with
annular groove) is installed in all engines except the 1200cc.
The effect of the new plunger is a lowering of oil
temperature. The plunger may be service installed in older
engines, but shouid be installed in 1200cc engines only
where operation is in a very hot climate.
From July 1967, Chassis No 217146841 (Engine No
H0760138) the four studs securing the oil pump to the
crankcase are increased in diameter. The old type securing
nuts and washers are replaced by nuts fitted with pressed-in
plastic rings, which when installed should have the plastic
ring facing the oil pump cover.
Where plastic coated gaskets have been used for the oil
pump and the oil strainer cover, removal of
~he
gaskets
should not be attempted with a scraper otherwise damage
to the sealing surfaces may result.
By applying a 5 per cent ammonia solution to the
gasket easy removal can be effected after a short soaking
period.
