Introduction
It should be carefully noted that these Technical Data sections have been taken from a wide range of sources. Every effort has been made to maintain accuracy and consistency of information in this part of the Technical Notes Series.
Some of the information has been taken from very old and faded documents.
It is very likely that this is the first, and most comprehensive, document that contains both Javelin and Jupiter technical data. This document does not claim to be absolutely up to date. Jowett Javelin and Jupiter information is continuing to be found and there will, no doubt, be updates in the not too distant future.
It is vitally important that technical and service information be kept by the Jowett Car Club of Australia Inc. for future use by Jowett enthusiasts.
An attempt was made to combine the two Jowett models into one comprehensive section. However, even though the base running gear is the same (and similar to) the Javelin, it was found best to have one section each for each of these Jowett models. The Javelin comes first with the Jupiter section commencing on Page 18.
Please make good use of this Part XXV of the Technical Notes Series.

Introductory Note
This document is the result of an attempt to combine all technical data relating to the Jowett Javelin saloon. Some data has been taken from the Auto Trader Service Data No. 208, dated August 26th. 1953, some is from Scientific Magazines Publishing Co., 1952. Some original information has been taken from the Maintenance Manual, published by Jowett Cars Limited. All later information sourced from the Jupiter Owners Auto Club, Jowett Parts (NZ) and local experience. Every effort has been made to maintain accuracy of information. However, due to the Jowett Car Club of Australia Incorporated having no influence on the content of this document nor the changes which may happen, responsibility cannot be accepted by the club for any errors and/or changes.
Vehicle Identification
Post-war Jowett vehicles have a Serial Number system which conveniently identifies the year of manufacture, the type of vehicle (Commercial, Passenger or Sports), the series of that model and the vehicle’s individual number. These numbers were located on Jupiter vehicles as follows:
Engine Number
This is stamped on to a raised plinth which is located on the left hand side front face of the crankcase. It is the same number as the chassis number (Serial Number).
Reconditioned engines have a riveted identification plate located on the rear top surface of the crankcase adjacent to the clutch housing and starter motor pinion.
Chassis & Body Numbers
These are stamped on to a brass plate which is fastened to the upper left hand side of the dash (firewall) and can bee seen after raising the bonnet. Nearby, close to the bonnet hinge, is a plate showing the Briggs Body Number. It should be noted that there is also a chassis number stamped directly into the body frame at the bonnet catch cross member above the grille.
Sample Serial Number Identification
The sample Serial Number E1/PC/12778D, describes a Javelin vehicle which was manufactured in 1951, being a saloon car of the third series. The components of this Serial Number are deciphered as follows:
E = 5 Being the first digit of the decade. ‘A’ = 1, ‘B = 2, ‘C’ = 3 and ‘D’ = 4.
1 = 1 Being the year in the decade.
P = Passenger car.
C = Third build series. ‘A’ = First series, ‘B’ = Second series.
12778D = The individual vehicle number.
The above describes a right hand drive vehicle, if it had been left hand drive the Serial Number would have been E1/PCL/12778D.

Crankshaft Grinding Data (As Of 1998)
With respect to Javelin Models PA to PE the main bearing and big end bearing journals can be ground to the following under sizes – 10, 20, 30 and 40 thou. The following grind specifications apply for the different types of bearing surface being used. It should be noted that, if a white metal rear main bearing set is used in conjunction with either copper/lead or ‘Alutin’ bearings at Nos. 1 & 2 main bearings, the grind tolerances immediately below apply to the rear main journal. The grind tolerances, for white metal bearings (original early type) are as follows:
Main Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.2500” – 2.2485” (57.150 – 57.112 mm)
Big End Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.000” – 1.9985” (50.800 – 50.762 mm)
Main Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 2.240” – 2.2385” (56.896 – 56.858 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 2.230” – 2.2285” (56.642 – 56.604 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.040”) 2.210” – 2.2085” (56.134 – 56.096 mm)
Big End Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 1.990” – 1.9885” (50.546 – 50.508 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 1.980” – 1.9785” (50.292 – 50.254 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.040”) 1.960” – 1.9585” (49.784 – 49.746 mm)
(Note: These tolerances apply to the early specification big end bearing surface material.)
It is possible that copper/lead type bearings can be obtained. Should this bearing surface material be used, then a different grind tolerance applies:
Main Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.2505” – 2.2500” (57.163 – 57.150 mm)
Big End Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.000” – 1.9995” (50.800 – 50.787 mm)
Main Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 2.2405” – 2.2400” (56.909 – 56.896 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 2.2305” – 2.2300” (56.655 – 56.642 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 2.2205” – 2.2200” (56.401 – 56.388 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 2.2105” – 2.2100” (56.147 – 56.134 mm)
Big End Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 1.9900” – 1.9895” (50.546 – 50.533 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 1.9800” – 1.9795” (50.292 – 50.279 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 1.9700” – 1.9695” (50.038 – 50.025 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 1.9600” – 1.9595” (49.784 – 49.771 mm)
(Note: When copper/lead bearing surface is used the crankshaft journals could wear prematurely.)
It is also possible that “Alutin” type bearings can be obtained. Should this bearing surface material be used, then the following grind specification applies:
Main Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.250” – 2.2498” (57.150 – 57.145 mm)
Big End Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.0000” – 1.9998” (50.800 – 50.795 mm)
Main Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 2.2400” – 2.2398” (56.896 – 56.891 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 2.2300” – 2.2298” (56.642 – 56.637 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 2.2200” – 2.2198” (56.388 – 56.383 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 2.2100” – 2.2098” (56.134 – 56.129 mm)
Big End Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 1.9900” – 1.9898” (50.546 – 50.541 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 1.9800” – 1.9798” (50.292 – 50.287 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 1.9700” – 1.9698” (50.038 – 50.033 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 1.9600” – 1.9598” (49.784 – 49.779 mm)
SPECIAL NOTES FOR GRINDING CRANKSHAFTS
When grinding the crankshaft at main and big end bearing journals, particular care should be taken to ensure that a suitable radius (0.100” [2.54 mm]) is ground at the journal fillets. Total ovality and taper of each journal should not exceed 0.002” (0.0508 mm). At the journals there must be a high surface finish, with a maximum surface roughness of 12 micro inch.
The spigot end of the crankshaft, where rear main oil seal runs, MUST NOT BE GROUND. This is the spigot for flywheel location.
Laystall Crankshaft (Machined Oval Web) Special Note
Certain precautions are necessary when nitriding Laystall oval-web crankshafts. This note has been taken from a letter from Laystall Engineering Co. Ltd., London in 1970, following a query from a club member who had a shaft reground to within limits specified and then nitrided. Two main bearings were outside limits, and the crankshaft was too stiff to turn after assembly.
“. . . We (Laystalls) normally nitride these shafts for 50 hours, giving a depth of hardness of 0.012” – 0.016”, the maximum hardness is down to approximately 0.006” – 0.008” (0.152 – 0.203 mm) and then gradually tapers away . . . . (and) there is a slight build up of approximately 0.0005” (0.0127 mm). it is advisable to grind both before and after nitriding, due to possible distortion that can take place when the stresses in the steel are released during nitriding, leaving approximately 0.003” – 0.005” (0.0762 – 0.127 mm) on diameter for this operation.”
Note: A photocopy of these pages should be handed to whoever is grinding the crankshaft.

Series III Engine – Distinguishing Features
1. Stiffer crankcase and enlarged oil ways to improve oil flow to main and big end bearings. Crankcase can be identified by ‘3’ stamped on upper front face of RHS casing. Also internal cross webbing to stiffen main bearing webs. Enlarged area above longitudinal oil galleries. Final crankcases had rear cylinder head studs screwed through coolant inlet ports.
2. Large radii crankshaft with or without lightening holes.
3. Adjustable camshaft thrust pad.
4. No splash protection plate on cylinder head (which necessitated the fitting of the latest sparking plug water proofing modifications). The combustion chamber was polished and slightly modified in shape.
5. Improved engine oil pump, upper housing changed to lower the pump body closer to oil level. Oil pump now featured relief valve venting to suction side of pump. Relief valve adjustable. Delivery pipe enlarged.
6. The fitting of an improved type rear timing cover with larger oil cooler banjo fittings.
Reconditioned Engine Notes
Jowett Engineering advised in 1960 that, if the engine number is prefixed with the letter ‘R’, it indicates a factory replacement unit. In order to clarify the position regarding replacement engines, it can be said that any engine bearing a number later than ‘R’ 10,000, will be the equivalent of a Series III engine. The following shows reconditioning practice since Series III engines were introduced.
1. In the instance where a pre-Series III crankcase is used, machined work is carried out in a number of places on the crankcase to improve the flow of oil to the main bearings, and as a consequence, to the big end bearings. The cylinder head stud holes in the crankcase are counter bored and the crankcase machined and fitted with new type oil gallery plugs. By these means most of the benefits of the Series III crankcase are obtained.
2. Nothing earlier than a Series III crankshaft is fitted, in fact all present engines are fitted with an improved shaft i.e. Blacksided or Oval-Web.
3. All reconditioned engines are fitted with the adjustable camshaft thrust peg.
4. Cylinder head combustion chambers are being polished and modified.
5. Improved engine oil pump base with adjustable relief valve features. In many cases the pump with extended body is fitted. All pumps are tested to a higher standard than was originally used in production of Series III engines.
6. All reconditioned engines have the improved rear timing case cover fitted.

TECHNICAL DATA
MANUFACTURER: JOWETT CARS LTD. MODELS: JUPITER SA & SC
MANUFACTURED FROM: 1950 – 1954
Introductory Note
This document is the result of an attempt to combine all technical data relating to the Jowett Jupiter sport scar. Original data has been taken from the Auto Trader Service Data No. 208, dated August 26th. 1953. Some original information has been taken from the Maintenance Manual, published by Jowett Cars Limited.
All later information sourced from the Jupiter Owners Auto Club, Jowett Parts (NZ) and local experience. Every effort has been made to maintain accuracy of information. However, due to the Jowett Car Club of Australia Incorporated having no influence on this document nor the changes which may happen, responsibility cannot be accepted by the club for any errors and/or changes.
Vehicle Identification
Post-war Jowett vehicles have a Serial Number system which conveniently identifies the year of manufacture, the type of vehicle (Commercial, Passenger or Sports), the series of that model and the vehicle’s individual number. These numbers were located on Jupiter vehicles as follows:
Engine Number
This is stamped on to a raised plinth which is located on the left hand side front face of the crankcase.
Reconditioned engines have a riveted identification plate located on the rear top surface of the crankcase adjacent to the clutch housing and starter motor pinion.
Chassis & Body Numbers
These are stamped on to a plate which is fastened to the right hand side front wing apron. It should be noted that there is also a chassis number stamped directly into the chassis frame at the radiator mount tower (early cars) or on the left hand bonnet catch bracket on the chassis front cross member.
Sample Serial Number Identification
The sample Serial Number E0/SA/42R, describes a Jupiter vehicle which was manufactured in 1950, being a sports car of the first series. The components of this Serial Number are deciphered as follows:
E = 5 Being the first digit of the decade. ‘A’ = 1, ‘B = 2, ‘C’ = 3 and ‘D’ = 4.
0 = 0 Being the year in the decade.
S = Sports car.
A = First build series. ‘A’ = First series, ‘B’ = Second series.
(Note – ‘B’ was not used in the case of the Jupiter)
42R = The individual vehicle number.
The above describes a right hand drive vehicle, if it had been left hand drive the Serial Number would have been E0/SAL/42R.
The second series was identified by having ‘SC’ within the Serial Number and that model was described as the MK Ia. There was a third series, the R4 that was to have been introduced, but did not reach full production.

Crankshaft Grinding Data (As Of 1998)
With respect to Jupiter Models SA and SC the main bearing and big end bearing journals can be ground to the following under sizes – 10, 20, 30 and 40 thou. The following grind specifications apply for the different types of bearing surface being used. It should be noted that, if a white metal rear main bearing set is used in conjunction with either copper/lead or ‘Alutin’ bearings at Nos. 1 & 2 main bearings, the grind tolerances immediately below apply to the rear main journal. The grind tolerances, for white metal bearings (original early type) are as follows:
Main Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.2500” – 2.2485” (57.150 – 57.112 mm)
Big End Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.000” – 1.9985” (50.800 – 50.762 mm)
Main Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 2.240” – 2.2385” (56.896 – 56.858 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 2.230” – 2.2285” (56.642 – 56.604 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.040”) 2.210” – 2.2085” (56.134 – 56.096 mm)
Big End Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 1.990” – 1.9885” (50.546 – 50.508 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 1.980” – 1.9785” (50.292 – 50.254 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.040”) 1.960” – 1.9585” (49.784 – 49.746 mm)
(Note: These tolerances apply to the early specification big end bearing surface material.)
It is possible that copper/lead type bearings can be obtained. Should this bearing surface material be used, then a different grind tolerance applies:
Main Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.2505” – 2.2500” (57.163 – 57.150 mm)
Big End Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.000” – 1.9995” (50.800 – 50.787 mm)
Main Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 2.2405” – 2.2400” (56.909 – 56.896 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 2.2305” – 2.2300” (56.655 – 56.642 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 2.2205” – 2.2200” (56.401 – 56.388 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 2.2105” – 2.2100” (56.147 – 56.134 mm)
Big End Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 1.9900” – 1.9895” (50.546 – 50.533 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 1.9800” – 1.9795” (50.292 – 50.279 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 1.9700” – 1.9695” (50.038 – 50.025 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 1.9600” – 1.9595” (49.784 – 49.771 mm)
(Note: When copper/lead bearing surface is used the crankshaft journals could wear prematurely.)
It is also possible that “Alutin” type bearings can be obtained. Should this bearing surface material be used, then the following grind specification applies:
Main Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.250” – 2.2498” (57.150 – 57.145 mm)
Big End Bearing Standard Size Specification 2.0000” – 1.9998” (50.800 – 50.795 mm)
Main Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 2.2400” – 2.2398” (56.896 – 56.891 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 2.2300” – 2.2298” (56.642 – 56.637 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 2.2200” – 2.2198” (56.388 – 56.383 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 2.2100” – 2.2098” (56.134 – 56.129 mm)
Big End Bearings: First Grind (- 0.010”) 1.9900” – 1.9898” (50.546 – 50.541 mm)
Second Grind (- 0.020”) 1.9800” – 1.9798” (50.292 – 50.287 mm)
Third Grind (- 0.030”) 1.9700” – 1.9698” (50.038 – 50.033 mm)
Fourth Grind (- 0.040”) 1.9600” – 1.9598” (49.784 – 49.779 mm)
When grinding the crankshaft at main and big end bearing journals, particular care should be taken to ensure that a suitable radius (0.100” [2.54 mm]) is ground at the journal fillets. Total ovality and taper of each journal should not exceed 0.002” (0.0508 mm). At the journals there must be a high surface finish, with a maximum surface roughness of 12 micro inch.
The spigot end of the crankshaft, where rear main oil seal runs, MUST NOT BE GROUND. This is the spigot for flywheel location.
Certain precautions are necessary when nitriding Laystall oval-web crankshafts. This note has been taken from a letter from Laystall Engineering Co. Ltd., London in 1970, following a query from a club member who had a shaft reground to within limits specified and then nitrided. Two main bearings were outside limits, and the crankshaft was too stiff to turn after assembly.
“. . . We (Laystalls) normally nitride these shafts for 50 hours, giving a depth of hardness of 0.012” – 0.016”, the maximum hardness is down to approximately 0.006” – 0.008” (0.152 – 0.203 mm) and then gradually tapers away . . . . (and) there is a slight build up of approximately 0.0005” (0.0127 mm). it is advisable to grind both before and after nitriding, due to possible distortion that can take place when the stresses in the steel are released during nitriding, leaving approximately 0.003” – 0.005” (0.0762 – 0.127 mm) on diameter for this operation.”
Note: A photocopy of these pages should be handed to whoever is grinding the crankshaft.

Series III Engine – Distinguishing Features
1. Stiffer crankcase and enlarged oil ways to improve oil flow to main and big end bearings. Crankcase can be identified by ‘3’ stamped on upper front face of RHS casing. Also internal cross webbing to stiffen main bearing webs. Enlarged area above longitudinal oil galleries. Final crankcases had rear cylinder head studs screwed through coolant inlet ports.
2. Large radii crankshaft with or without lightening holes.
3. Adjustable camshaft thrust pad.
4. No splash protection plate on cylinder head (which necessitated the fitting of the latest sparking plug water proofing modifications). The combustion chamber was polished and slightly modified in shape.
5. Improved engine oil pump, upper housing changed to lower the pump body closer to oil level. Oil pump now featured relief valve venting to suction side of pump. Relief valve adjustable. Delivery pipe enlarged.
6. The fitting of an improved type rear timing cover with larger oil cooler banjo fittings.
Reconditioned Engine Notes
Jowett Engineering advised in 1960 that, if the engine number is prefixed with the letter ‘R’, it indicates a factory replacement unit. In order to clarify the position regarding replacement engines, it can be said that any engine bearing a number later than ‘R’ 10,000, will be the equivalent of a Series III engine. The following shows reconditioning practice since Series III engines were introduced.
1. In the instance where a pre-Series III crankcase is used, machined work is carried out in a number of places on the crankcase to improve the flow of oil to the main bearings, and as a consequence, to the big end bearings. The cylinder head stud holes in the crankcase are counter bored and the crankcase machined and fitted with new type oil gallery plugs. By these means most of the benefits of the Series III crankcase are obtained.
2. Nothing earlier than a Series III crankshaft is fitted, in fact all present engines are fitted with an improved shaft i.e. Blacksided or Oval-Web.
3. All reconditioned engines are fitted with the adjustable camshaft thrust peg.
4. Cylinder head combustion chambers are being polished and modified.
5. Improved engine oil pump base with adjustable relief valve features. In many cases the pump with extended body is fitted. All pumps are tested to a higher standard than was originally used in production of Series III engines.
6. All reconditioned engines have the improved rear timing case cover fitted.
