Hi fingers is the gap a bit excessive that you have given me or is it 0.05 instead of 0.5

 

[fingers99]

Nope. Gaps are 0.4 and 0.5mm. No tolerance is given (figures are from the Porter manual). Pretty similar to the Cinqs, Seis, etc. No tolerance is given for your engine, but generally that's + or - 0.05mm.

Hi fingers is this the book you have does it give all info about the Punto 90

 

[fingers99]

No, Fiat Brava, Bravo, Punto, Tipo, Cinque, Seicento Colour Workshop Manual Lindsay Porter's Colour Manuals: Amazon.co.uk: Lindsay Porter: Books one.

It may be that the one you've found is as good -- or better. I've never worked on a 1.6, so can't really say a lot about how good (or not) it is.

I received book it tells me the info I need for torque settings I had valves reseated and the valve guide replaced and oil seals done too new head gasket etc had it all put together again not puting no more but injector light comes on again after 10 mins

Hey mate, just a quick question as I'm doing a head gasket job on the same motor. Did you install the head bolts dry? Or lubbed. I'm confused as my manual says dry yet the bolts were supplied with a small packet of antizieze. Sorry for the change in subject!

Hi there I applied a little light oil to bolts you can use the bolts again they don't need to be replaced torque settings are
Big bolts
20 nm
40 nm
90 degrees
90 degrees

Little bolts 10mm
20 nm

Hope this helps did you have injection light problem at all

God Only Knows. But she's not saying.

Your next best bet is to ring round/ask round. Someone at a FIAT dealership will know another dealer who might have FIAT Examiner.

yeah i did have that problem before i pulled it apart, injector light would come on every now and then and just go out by itself. haven't figured out yet why it would want to do that

I'm thinking about putting a new cat on the car because I can hear a rattle sound after a few mins of running hot I'm hoping it is that causing the over fuelling problem and idle problem
