Hi boys! I'm a bit late to the part 1 and 2 videos on the Fiat 500. This is exactly the job I'm on at the moment but on a 2014 Ford Ka which is the same engine. I'm not a mechanic but have what can be described as a healthy interest in mechanics. I've changed the head gasket but I've lost the timing through one thing or another. I've locked the crankshaft with the tool but I'm finding it difficult to find the correct position to lock the camshaft in. It's trial and error at the moment and I've put it back together twice only to find it not running correctly. As you said, at least I can't damage the engine getting it wrong dur to it being non interferrence. Gaz.
Thats interesting obviously its not an non interference engine after all.lads its a head gasket all the time only 1.2 that arent interference is the early ones without a vvt as the valves dont pertude out so far.hope you got it sorted.
I really do like the Fiat500 like and style. I believe despite the intended size it has stood up really well. Do I trust the mechanics of the engine....unfortunately no. It is a Fiat..

How did it get to that state😮. Negligence or just premature component failure
both! so bad.. it's still on my driveway as I'm struggling to find time and it still overheats!!!
Pretty sure it’s an interference engine.

I'll buy the car I need the front end and dashboard, if you want to sell
