Cinquecento 899cc with an overhead valve engine.. and those spring-loaded tappets that fill with oil ..
Does the old rule of 9 when adjusting valve clearances apply? i.e... valve No1 fully open ..adjust valve No8?
Many thanks to those who helped re injector - which wasn't the fault. The car still won't start. It cranks, has spark and fuel .. I'm now thinking that the valve clearances might be at fault. If it isn't the valve clearances, I'm stumped (and I'm certain that it isn't a sensor of any sort at fault).
I've got a workshop manual for the car but the photos and info mainly relate to an overhead cam engine...
The nearest info I can find was an online article which says bring the engine to tdc and adjust the relevant valves, then bring the engine to tdc again and adjust the next valves... repeat..
Surely it's tdc at the top of the compression stroke?
