Great content,fabulous workshop.Love that berlina style Lancia. A rattling bunch of tappets is better than no noise,at least the valves are closing!I can't help but think there is a correct flywheel (piston)position to adjust each tappet though.Maybe a trifle noisy just now. 😎

Yes there are ‘safe’ crank degrees. But I work ‘the Ultimostile way’ LOL. I talked to my mechanic Steffen, who just recently tuned a Flavia engine, and he told me that the 1.8L and 2.0 actually has 0.15mm and 0.25mm in the book. Maybe my book is only for 1.5L. But it DOES sound a little too noisy ;)

Inden jeg så videoen færdig var jeg så småt i gang med at ville skrive" Husk at stille ventiler nu du ændrer på afstanden imellem topstykke og motorblok." (aka pakningsskifte) Men efterhånden som videoen skred frem kunne jeg jo konstatere at du selv opdagede det 😀 Det er godt at den er kørende igen. Og det ligner faktisk en operation der ikke er så slem endda. Mvh Velo

Hi velo; yes it was a tour-de-force. And I suppose I underestimated the narrow clearances; the influence it has ;)

Don't you have to machine the heads to make sure they are not heat warped from being overheated or it won't be a level mating surface? Is it a cast iron head or aluminum? I also have a flavia coupe. For my own future reference.😉

[@ultimostile]

It is all-aluminium with cast iron liners. I assumed that such a low-powered engine would not need skimming - only cleaning

[@malanne1]

Thanks for the info, your probably right, it seems to running good 👍

[@keesstam909]

O course the heads must be professionally been skimmed
