- In this video I continue the Lancia/ autobianchi engine rebuild.
Its a 1050 Fiat engine tuned by abarth.
Previous I fitted the cylinder head and headgasket, And now I try to fit the oil pump, Waterpump, Rocker assembly, set the valve clearance and more!
Much respect for you. I would have gave up after the second time that bold broke off.
When torking bolds i always have one hand on the ratchet wrench and the other on the handel. That way you torque straid and less change of breaking the bold.
Yes! I learned that back then... thanks... :)
Agree with you on the oil pump, it’s not worth risking all those good parts and all your hard work for the sake of a possibly ‘duff’ oil pump. You need the confidence to know it’s all functioning right. Thanks for the video. Les in UK
You are right Les.... I will order a new one... Then I wont have to worry... :)
Very nice work, thanks for sharing. I changed the timing chain on a Fiat Uno 45 once, I think the tensioner had failed, it was quite rattly. I've had two Seicentos since but that was never a problem on those.
Yes, they can fail or the chain can stretch... :)
This part of rebuild looks like fun! It really gives some new motivation after the previous issues. You got this!
Its a joy at this stage! A shame the car is still rusty... :P
Fun fact, Carlo Abarth had plans to put his "Radiale engine" into the A112 and make it a fitting 112 HP.
That would have been something!
I'm working on a 903cc first series fiat 127 which is very similar. The black spacer on the fuel pump is an insulation block so the petrol doesn't heat up from the block. - I believe! good video well done
Ah of course! that makes sense... :) Thanks!
Nice work. Made some good progress! 👍
Thanks!
The water pump looks the same part as the one I just fitted to my Cinquecento 899
I actually think that it IS the same :)
The engine is coming along nicely , best to change the oil pump for a new one the plate on the old one is too far gone Seppo.
You are right... New one ordered. :)
Yea the pinion bearing of the oil pump is pretty sketchy. Mine also is way out of spec. I also wonder why they use a timing chain when the shafts are right next to each other.
Good questions... I know the Ford/Saab v4 uses a gear driven system and that can actually shear the teeths off if the bearings gets worn... so maybe its something to do with some more flexibility in a chain?
Very good video. Where can I get that ONLINE manual.
I live in Argentina and it is not available here.
mmmh, you should do another 2 turns WITH the rocker
Haha Yea... its a clockwork
@@SeasideGarage great : )
I have got a used oil pump spare. I checked the plate that is worn on yours, but mine is fine. If you are interested let me know.
Thanks Jop! But I actually ordered one already.... 55 euroes, so Is not worth the risk with mine...
skim the plate the difference will be in the depth pickup pipe not a problem the thickness of the plate is just like a spacer
I went for a new one... 55 euro.... did not want to risk it... could not shake the thougt that the gear must have been able to tilt since it onl grinded away material in one side of the plate.... not good....
@@SeasideGarage is there movement in the gears side to side or up and down the one you should concentrate on is the one with the wear mark its easy for me to make the suggestions i work on 20 or so cars a week these are not my own so this wouldn't have been a problem to me unless their was movement in the cogs of the pump
keep up the good work i would video some of my work but i just wouldn't get any work done
@@SeasideGarage I got the same sort of problem with a Nissan Micra c+c I after a BCM only available from Europe but no one will send to UK after Brexit these problems all get sorted out in the end but for 55 Euro why take a chance such a small price to pay for success yet a big chance of failure if you don't change it well good luck can't wait for the next installment and it's so nice you take your time to read all the message and respond
@@quinta3005 uhhh micra!
One of the main reason I make these videos are for the comments! Its so nice to hear about the projects that others haves... And the advices and so on!
I have the best subscribers! :)
@@SeasideGarage I only repair them I don't care what other people drive if they keep breaking down I keep getting a wage
congratulations on this project! I needed a favor and it's a copy of the a112 engine specification book… I'll pay you by paypal please!!! I've been looking for it but I can only find it in German 🤷♂
La catena di distribuzione va sostituita secondo me
Hi my friend. Amazing video. My father bought a A112 abarth 5 series but he unfortunately passed away from Covid. I have taken on the project along with our mechanic family friend. I will use the tips on your video. Is there anything else we should look out for that is easily missed when rebuilding this engine? Thank you
Hello Radias!
I am sorry to hear about your father... But it sounds like a great tribute to fix the A112..!
The engine seems pretty straight forward in my opinion, but do check for straightness on the head and block if possible.... :) Goood luck! And feel free to ask anything...
@@SeasideGarage thank you for the offer. I may take you up on it :)
what torque wrench are you using?
A Biltema one... :) tested and calibrated.
Hi there...! I just bought an A112/85 and I can not find the Repair Manual. (shop manual) any where. I been looking ebay,Hynes manuals and others. No luck..! Where do you buy parts for your..? Thanks
I buy from different places... But a lot of the parts are the same as fiat 127 so that helps!
The manuals are hard to find!
@@SeasideGarage Hey Buddy...! Can you mention some places so I can buy even if it is the manual. I appreciate it. THANKS.
@@mrmotovideos I will try to find some links :)
Do you have a repair manual for the car now?
Disaster - no snapped bolts or studs.........how did Abarth think that you could provide content in the days before YT existed? Very poor planning lol - meanwhile on to the Cinquecento
Snapped bolt are sure to return on this.... ;)
