Dear Fiat Forum
I have got a 1973 Fiat 500R with a standard 594cc engine. The car hasn't been running great recently, so I decided to do a bit of routine maintenance, including checking my valve clearances. I did have a look in the Haynes Manual but the information didn't look that clear. Anyway, I've set the gaps at 0.004 for the inlet and 0.006 for the exhaust. The car does seem to be running 100% better and felt great on a short test drive.
However, have I got the spaces correct?
Any advice or guidance would be very much appreciated.
