Can anyone please help me out. My 2001 model Fiat Seicento 1100 (1108, I guess)(not the Sporting) blew his cylinder head gasket. I need the torque settings for the cylinder head and cam shaft real urgently. Can anyone please help me out.

I've contacted the local Fiat dealers (in SA) and they do not hand out info like that. Also, I wanted to buy a new Auto Data Digest, but the settings are not in there. Instead there is just a little x.

Can anyone please help me with the torque settings for the cam shaft and the cylinder head.

Your help is much appreciated.

providing the torque settings are the same for the MPI as they are for the SPI, the cylinder head bolts should be 30Nm and the camshaft sprocket should be 70Nm

Thanks, do you perhaps know the order in which I have to torque the cylinder head bolts ? Also how many stages I should torque the bolts in ?

welcome to the forum
stage 1 22 lbf ft
stage 2 angle tighten further 90 degreese
stage 3 angle tighten further 90 degreese

tighterning order
8,6,2,5,10
7,3,1,4,9

dave, whats all this lbs/ft rubbish???? Everyone knows that torque is measured in Nm!!!

Isn't lbs/ft that REALLY old measurement used by old people

Only kidding Dave

thats what i was thinking - WAY before our time. i think i remember doing about it in history at school

There is nowt wrong with lbft. It worked for me father and his father defore him so its reet fine by me, cheeky young scamps.

Cheers

i thought it better to put that there is 3 stages rather than worry about if in lbs or nm, most torque wrenches have both

dave, thanks for your help with the torque settings. I'm going to put it all together this weekend. If I'm not mistaken you can convert pounds-force feet to newton meters by multiplying with 1.356 , which means that it is 29.832 N.m. of torque ?
