The story of this engine starts with the Standard Eight of 1953 for which an entirely new 4-cylinder engine, known as the SC (small car) was designed by David Eley. Although new, the engine block had to be machined with tooling purchased for the Triumph Mayflower engine so the cylinder centre dimensions of the new 803cc engine were shared with the Mayflower's side valve 1247cc unit. This new in-line engine had overhead valves operated by push rods with the camshaft in the block, with both the cylinder block and head made of cast iron. Both manifolds (inlet and exhaust) are on the same side of the cylinder head, known as a reverse-flow design. Engines with manifolds on different sides are called cross-flow. As the manifolds are on the right hand side of the SC engine, the distributor, camshaft, spark plugs and oil filter are on the left-hand side, differentiating it from the similar capacity "A" series engine with which it is sometimes compared; they share the same bore and stroke (58 x 76mm) giving 803cc. The water pump is a separate casting mounted on the front of the cylinder head, indicating that the original 4 cylinder block may have been based on an earlier sidevalve engine with thermo-syphon cooling! The SC engine can be seen below:
Sir John Black wanted an engine to compete with the Ford Zephr/Zodiac and Vauxhall Cresta which were fitted with an inline six-cylinder engine (I6). The advantages of an I6 engine is that it is inherently balanced - to Quote Car Throttle "Due to the normal firing order of a straight-six, the pistons move in-tandem with their mirror image on the other side of the engine block. So pistons 1 and 6 reciprocate, followed by 2 and 5 and finishing with 3 and 4. As pistons 1 and 6 reach top dead Centre, the other four pistons are evenly spaced at 120 degrees and 240 degrees respectively around the engine cycle, meaning that the reciprocating forces balance each other out. This makes a smooth-revving engine". The engine was a conventional 2 litre design with overhead valves, a cast-iron block and cylinder head, and a pressed-steel sump.The camshaft drove the distributor and oil pump through a spur gear, which was itself chain-driven off the nose of the crankshaft, with the drive covered by a pressed-steel cover. The 2.5 versions had duplex chains.
The N9Y has a 19mm reach, a M4 thread and is 14mm in diameter. The single electrode is made from standand nickel. [links]
