The R-985-B5 and Bd of the Wasp Jr, series en- BE gines ond the R-1340, S1H2, S3HI, S3H2 and S3H1-G of the Wosp series engires ‘are covered in this manual and considération Revised March 1973 is made for the differences among models Throughout the remainder of this manvel whenever these engines ore discussed singu- larly, they may be referred to os: the BS, the B4, the STH2, the S3H1, the S3H2 or ff the S3H1-G engine. Whenever these engines are discussed in @ series they may be referred to os Wasp Jr. or Wasp engines. Differences Among Models — The BS en- gine is designed for horizontal installation in a conventional-type aircraft; whereas the B4 engine is designed for vertical installa- tion in a helicopter. To accommodate verti- cal installation, the B4 engine differs from the BS engine in mony ways; but the substi- tution of ploin journal bearings at the im- CYLNDER NUMBERING AND FIRING ORDER DIAGRAM Firing Order 79-2468 M = Master Cyl Wasp and Wasp Jr. Maintenance a DESCRIPTION peller shoit in place of ball bearings as used on the BS engine, the use of the reor case a8 a collector of engine cil in place of the conventional oil sump, and the Iscation of breather in the engine nose section in lieu of the conventional arrangement, constitute the main differences between these two models. ‘A Wasp Jr. engine is basically similar to a Wasp engine; however, the latter is larger ‘and develops more horsepower than the for: mer engine. The Wasp engines covered in this Manual ‘are designed for both horizontal and vertical installation. the SSH1 and S3H1-G engines incorporate bali bearings at the impeller shoft with o 10:1 blower ratio The S3HI engine is a direct drive engine, whereas the S3H1-G engine incorporates a Thrust Bearing decoupled propeller shaft and has @ 3:2 re- duction gearing. The $1H2 and S3H2 engines ‘ore converted for installation in helicopters The SIH2 incorporates a supercharger with © 12:1 ratio ond mounts at a 39 degree angle. Wosp Jr. BS Engine Wasp and Wesp Jr. Maintenance Revised March 1973 DESCRIPTION — The S3H2 differs from the S1H2 in its super- charger ratio of 10:1. Commercial vs Military Equipment — The $S3H1 is equivalent to @ R-1340-ANI (with o 10:1 Blower}. The SIHI is equivalent to a S3H1 (wi: 12:1 Blower), The STH2 is equiva lent to @ R-1340-48 ond -57. The S3HIG is equivalent to a R-1340-AN2 and a R-1340-59 (with 10:1 Blower). The SIHIG is equivalent to a R-1340-61 (with @ 12:1 Blower). The S3H2 is equivalent to 0 R-1340-40, Directional References — Right and lett, . clockwise and counterclockwise, upper ond lower, and similar directional references, op” ply to the engine as viewed from the rear Front Case (B5) with the crankshaft in the horizontal position ‘ond with No. 1 cylinder at the top of the engine. The normal direction of rotation of the crankshaft is clockwise. The direction of rota tion of each accessory drive is specified os it ‘oppears to an observer facing the accessory mounting pad. Wasp Jr, B4 Engine Revised March 1973 Wasp and Wasp Jr. Maintenance " DESCRIPTION The lubrication system, the carburetor, and the ignition system ‘ore briefly explained on the following pages. Throughout this manval the seven engines under consideration will be discussed os one engine whenever their respective features are comparable. FRONT SECTION Front Case (Wasp Jr. BS Engine) — The front cose supports in its bore @ ball bea ing, which transmits part of the propeller thrust from the crankshaft to the engine mounting brackets, via the crankcase. The crankshaft is located in the thrust becring by meons of the thrust bearing spacer. Bosses in the front case provide support for the volve tappet guides which accom modote the valve tappets, rollers and pins. A rocker oil monifold ring in the front case is port of the automatic rocker lubriceting system The BS engine incorporates tubing in the front case for operation of a hydro-control- lable propeller and either o control valve (for the two position propeller) or a plug with an oil tronsfer hole for the constant speed or hydromatic propeller tas Front Case p Wasp and Wasp Jr. Maintenance Front Case Front Case (Wasp Jr. B4 Engine) — The front case differs from the B5 engine front case in three ways {1} On the B4 engine, the propeller control valve is omitted ond a gasket and cover are mounted on the valve boss. 2) The plug opposite the propeller control valve boss is replaced by a breother pipe cossembly which is attached 10 the rear of the thrust bering liner. This breather assembly vents the engine. {(3) The B4 engine does not incorporate an oil sump, so the drain hoie in the sump mount- ing boss is blocked with a cover and a gasket. A drain hole is provided in the rear face of the boss and two studs are installed to pro- vide for the attachment of the front section to the oil pump oil scavenge tube. Front Case (Wasp S1H2, S3H1 and S3H2 Engines) — The front case supports in its bore @ ball bearing, which transmits part of the propeller thrust from the crankshaft to the engine mounting brackets, via the crankcase. The crankshaft is located in the thrust bearing by means of the thrust bearing spacer.

A reduction drive gear, with tweth, is splined to the front end of the crank hoft and receives additional support from a hearing in the bore of the support plate A reduction drive fixed gear is bolted to the inner side of the forward end of the front case, Six pinions, which are mounted in a pinion cage splined to the propeller shat, mesh with the reduction drive fixed gear and lonetary ternal Power Package ($3H2) 7 Reissued Aprit 1962 Wasp and Wasp Jr. Maintenance ae DESCRIPTION with the drive gear, Engine speed, emarat- ing from the crankshaft and the reduction drive geor rotation, is reduced as it is trans mitted through the fixed gear ond the pinions to the pinion cage splined to the propaller shaft, so that the propeller shaft mokes but two revolutions for every three revolu'ions mace by the crankshaft CYLINDERS Cylinder Heads and Barrels — The
