Rare Car Restoration 5: Engine Rebuild Part 1 Rebuilding Fiat 1.2 16v Punto, 500, Panda

In this video I begin to take the engine apart on my little 1.2 litre 16valve fiat Punto cabrio. The engine was lacking power and so needed investigation, having exhausted all other possible issues i could address without taking the engine apart it left only one option, take the cylinder head off to see what's going on inside the engine. As part of this work I remove the cambelt, water pump and head gasket of the 1.2 16 valve fiat engine. This gives you some idea of the work that is involved with these jobs and in the future I will make videos breaking down how to do these specific tasks so subscibe for those. for now just sit back and enjoy the journey as I break down this 1.2 16valve 85cv (86bhp) engine. let me know in the comments if there is anything you would like to see more of, or tell me if I am doing things wrong or how I could do things better. it's always great to hear your views.

This is the timing tools set I got for this job, it is much cheaper on Ebay if you hunt around https://amzn.to/434WKsk If you are breaking down the head then you will need a valve spring compressor. This kit is very cheap just £16 https://amzn.to/3T6ystd you will need some longer reach Ribe bits to take the head off, these are cheap at under £10 https://amzn.to/3TlrbY3. But as you can see in the video we ended up hammering the bit into the head bolts so I would recommend some impact bits or high quality bits such as these https://amzn.to/48LVLhQ you may need both if the impact bits won't reach the bolts in the cam carrier.
