Assembling The Engine: The Big Moment Has Arrived!

This is the final assembly Video in the series of rebuilding this little 1.2 litre 16V 86Hp Fiat Punto Engine.
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.

Hello awesome video and thank you for the detailed information about the rebuild. I`m doing the same with mine Punto 1.2 16v mk2. Do you know the flatness tolerance of the block deck and head? In the Haynes manual is cited 0.1mm of the head mating surface, but in the Victor Reinz installation manual is cited 0.05mm longitudinal and 0.03mm transverse. Which values did you use and also what brand head gasket? Thank you.

I used an unbranded head gasket set from a uk company. I went by the Haynes manual but it’s not going to hurt to be even more precise. These heads are prone to warping, as I was not replacing mine for any over heating issue, I didn’t feel the need to be so exact, but if I was then then I would have sent the head to be skimmed
