Posts: 748 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0   | Engine mountings/cam cover ! Ok....think Freddy's engine mounting rubber thingies are pooped. The engine moves all over the place and the rubber looks very perished. How easy are they to change ??? They don't look very complicated. Any tricks to doing it ?? Also, he's got a massive oil leak from the cam cover. I'm presuming the gasket has seen better days. Is it just a case of undoing all the bolts and replacing the gasket or is it slightly more tricky than that ?? Ta muchly :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Freddy >> 1988 Uno 45S

Posts: 748 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Righto. I'm used to working on cars.....just not Fiats !! Thought things would be relatively easy. Was just checking to see if there were any handy hints. Sounds straightforward enough. Ta :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Freddy >> 1988 Uno 45S
