Title: 2.0L Head Cylinder Gasket Post by: cfont60 on October 13, 2009, 02:38:37 PM Months ago the engine of my 2.0L Racing died I had to rebore, etc. Yesterday we started it for the first time and we noticed that the exhaust cam shaft is receiving a lot less oil than the intake. We think it may be due to the head gasket since we had to use one from a Regatta engine (http://www.taranto.com.ar/home/pdf/pdf/FIAT/260100.pdf). Perhaps obstructed an oil chanel. Does anyone have a photo of the original 131 2.0L gasket? This would be a lot of help since we could check if the one we used is the same without having to reopen the engine.

Look this! http://www.samcosport.com/uk/index.asp Enzo ;) Title: Re: 2.0L Head Cylinder Gasket Post by: mirafioriman on October 14, 2009, 11:29:07 PM Did you make your hoses from their 'universal range'? I can not see the 131 listed on their site.
Title: Re: 2.0L Head Cylinder Gasket Post by: sid131 on October 15, 2009, 11:08:44 AM Hi Enzo using the link you posted i contacted samcosport guy called Mark Hale & they dont do hoses for the 131 sport & he would like the part numbers on your hoses here is the answer i got
Hi Nick, Thank you for the link, it?s a new one on me even I didn?t know that we manufactured a kit for that model Fiat! I will print off the photo and try to identify the hoses but in the meantime perhaps you could contact the guy on the forum and ask him for the numbers that are stamped into the Samco hoses on his car, this will identify what hoses he is using. Best regards, Mark Hale so could you give me the numbers if you can? thanks Nick. Title: Re: 2.0L Head Cylinder Gasket Post by: Fiat 131 Abarth#2 on October 15, 2009, 12:49:31 PM Hy,

Now we have to reassemble averything and if everything goes well the 131 will on the road again this weekend. Later on I will post some pictures of the work we did.
Thanks a lot for the pictures and the help. Regards |
