Jonn has been reassembling the engine of our 1963 Fiat 500. Here are his notes:
Start to reassemble engine. Clean all parts not already cleaned during build process. Use manual for torque settings.
Continue engine assemble. Fit new rear main oil seal and fit flywheel and clutch. Adjust valve clearances and fit rocker cover. Start refitting fan housings. Found 1 exhaust elbow cracked and welded so order new.
Continue fitting covers. Make and fit new studs for dynamo pulley. Fit gearbox but 1 starter motor holt hole not quite aligned where weld repair is. Remove gearbox and elongate hole and refit. Fit new starter and ducting for fan.
