That sucks, though he may be funny and say you shouldn't have taken it apart. It probably would have run ok for a while before it packed up. Fingers crossed you find a good one.

Collect a lowish milage sei mpi block http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fiat-seicento...14&_trkparms=72:1299|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 He wan't 150, but sell the cat/mani, gearbox etc to get some cash back

Yeah but he's started cracking on with the Xmas beer supply already

Head and block on this one look much better compared to the other "better" engine Fingers crossed it all comes together and works after all this hooharr.

This is true

Gaz it'll be running this weekend im sure

p.s. assume you have HG set etc sat about ready? also need me to bring any bits with me or random bolts? maybe si's tools?

 

[Whiley]

if you've got any of the long throttle body bolts that would be good dude!
have done a bit today, gotta go get xmas beer and a few last minute presents tho!

second block

and head

head and block back together

and as i left it back on the stand most ancillaries etc back on, cant remember for the life of me if the alternator has a spacer inbetween it where it mounts so have left it for the moment, should be back in and running with 0.3 bar of boost at the weekend though hopefully!

 

[randomizered]

Enough sealant on the sump

If there was nothing special about the alternator, then, no, there's no spacer inbetween it and the block, not even a washer.

Kristian

 

[Whiley]

i got a bit carryed away with the sealant i know, tis like a condom better safe than sorry. and ta for letting us know about the alternator dude!

Gaz

 

[jamie86]

Good to see some progress

Don't turn into another Alex with that sealant crap it took 2owners to get it all off the Abarth Cinq
