5 extra horses for your 999. Complete with that lovely cast pulley.

Panda (Classic) 4x4 cam
Save bid placed...
Is this better or worse than the 1108 cam?

Same lift, slightly longer duration, slightly more retarded timing (I think) Theoretically slightly better but probably not enough to be worth a swap out.

Note: this is compared to the Panda Selecta/Uno etc contemporary 1108s, if you're thinking of the 'cinq I think that got a slightly better cam again actually.
Which in turn works better with a punto 75 (866) cam, Given they are all technically interchangeable, wonder what an 866 cam would do on a 999cc lump... sure i read it somewhere years back but that was before i went into Fiat retirement

It would be for the 999cc carbed panda, cinqy has been retired from my fleet

That 'cento cam is a useful upgrade to the Panda though, so given all those folks that have upgraded to tasty 866 jobbies, where are all the cheap 1108 cams they've pulled out?Which in turn works better with a punto 75 (866) cam, Given they are all technically interchangeable, wonder what an 866 cam would do on a 999cc lump... sure i read it somewhere years back but that was before i went into Fiat retirement

4x4 would be a better bet as you know it's still got the mechanical fuel pump driveIt would be for the 999cc carbed panda, cinqy has been retired from my fleet
Er yeah (nods and pretends he understands whats been said)
I put in a cheeky offer for the 1108 krankyshaft and bearings - I can have them for £55 - fan-dabby-dozie!
Then (if bought) I'm committed to finding the rest of the bits (whatever they are) and finding a person willing to do the work :/
I do find the 999cc carbed a bit lacking in pull especially at cruising speeds - looses speed up slight inclines and overtaking is really not it's forte.
I've 48hours to accept the offer....

(sigh) ah well, I've not gone with new pistons so I'll let you in on this one then. Promise not to tell anyone! Think you will still need gudgeon pins but the conrods are there which seem to be hard to find. That's pretty much your bottom end sorted then (unless you need the flywheel, don't know if that will marry up with the crankshaft, 1108 uses a bigger one)Er yeah (nods and pretends he understands whats been said)

This is getting quite costly, maybe it would be cheaper to cannabalise a 1108 engine instead?

Yup, much.
I'd say start with the 4x4 cam and a good service (try out the cam from your scruffy 4x4 in the Sky, I assume that's the one you're looking at, see what difference it makes)
I wish I knew what was in the spare engine purple haze has it a 4x4 cam in it?
John, your spare engine is from 2wd.
