(T) Fixing My 1.4 Bravo Engine Misfire

excellent news Adrian really glad to hear it!

i woke up this morning to find my car had been dropped off outside my house, i spose i better go get my new turbo fitted!

Ry

Its been fantastic so far the car has so much power there are no flat spots like before, exhaust has a real nice sound now.

I suppose I should make a members motor thread this one has come to a happy ending.

I spent all day tidying things up. I washed the car then started to get serious on the roof. It had small murky patches of lacquer I think from bird poo. Clayed the roof then used Autoglym paint renovator on the bad bits then another wash and then wax. It looks amazing I cant wait to wax the rest of it.

I bought a new front number plate today, totally plane. Might get a rear one aswell tomorrow. Ill get pics soon.

My car still smells of eingine paint when its running more outside than in. Its quite a nice smell actually.

:d

There is a members motors thread for this car now. Updates and summaries of any problems will be there. http://www.fiatforum.com/members-mot...-modified.html

for rebuilding a 1.4 12v engine, I did this not too long ago on my own Bravo to pretty much the same level as yours. I have to say yours is much more beautiful than mine though. I'll make a thread soon with all the nonsense I went through. My diff stripped (shrink fit ring gear!) and jammed sending the power upwards, literally exploding the cambelt tensioner and therefore bending 10 of the valves along with some other things.

I want to take my engine out and paint it after seeing yours

Thank you Dan
Make sure you do that thread I would like to see it. Im really glad I painted the engine, its still clean and shiny. The paint doesnt smell anymore.

Ill add the other pictures actually.

what a fantastic read!! so much hard work, hats off to you for doing this outside..

Thanks Stephan.

Someone offered me £1000 for the car a few days ago and people are always saying it looks nice

Their is a members motor thread aswell I just read the whole thread again and looked over the pictures. Enigne with the new clutch on is nice and engine in the bay with pistons showing is nice, the picture from underneath is nice showing the sump Think I will get all my car pictures printed somewhere.

It was hard work, I did have a small shed to work in. If I did it again I would take the block and head somewhere to be cleaned, unless I had a cleaning tank. I should have replaced the crank sensor for what it cost. Though when it fails it wont be too hard to change.

Cheers for this very interesting read Nice 30 minutes of my day well spent
