Lancia Fulvia Engine Strip | Workshop Uncut | Car S.O.S.

[@BJ-bw2sg]

Fuzz non seulement est sympathique mais c'est une pointure en matière de mécanique !

[@kennethwarburton177]

I drove one of those little beauties for 18 yrs. loved my little Fulvia.

[@MrAtheHun]

Fuzz on his own, brilliant. Thanks for uploading.

[@dieselfan7406]

If they got rid of that "look at me" moron Tim Shaw they might actually have a decent television programme. He's the reason a lot of people have stopped watching it. Thanks Fuzz.

[@alexmartinez280]

Way ahead of its time with an awesome head back in 1968!

[@OpiceSF]

The design is older than that. Lancia's V-4 started production in the 1920's!

[@bobspeller2225]

Lets have some work video's on the Fulvia please!!! Cheers Bob

I have stripped several of these engines in the 1980s. This engine is a true twin cam, with one cam shaft controlling the inlet valves, and the other cam shaft the exhaust valves. It has uneven length rockers to go across the banks. The engine is high compression (especially the HF variants) so any oil or water in the top of the cylinder will result in serious damage.

[@markdouglas5542]

Just love watching the show , great work guys.

[@MangoJam420]

What a cool little engine! It's so fun looking at these older units. You can clearly tell they were designed by people based on the shape of various parts. New engines are really poky and complex since CAD became a thing, allowing engineers to make the strongest structure with the least material.

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Fuzz certainly loves to build the suspense!

[@georgeclarke1183]

looking forward to the next part of this engine build if it ever happens

[@johnsmith1474]

First visit, six minutes in, A+ presentation of the facts, with good style. I'm sub'd!

[@geremiagermogli]

Hey, great video! But, just for general interest, one camshaft is for inlet valves and the other for the exhaust. They are not operating 2 cylinders each. Head’s intake and exhaust pipes are asymmetrical and this could be tricky looking at the head from above. Ciao!! Filippo

[@sylvain-paulcote5470]

I'd love to see the whole rebuild of this "spaghetti" engine.

[@kennethwarburton177]

What a brilliant mechanic and nice all round guy.

[@gregoutridge2266]

Its a true twin cam one cam for inlet the other for exhaust. Check out the long rods used to control across the head.

[@richardverney6702]

I just made that point before seeing your comment. You are right that it has short and long rockers to straddle the banks.

[@markmichlewicz5141]

I love this extra content.thankyou

[@anstabo]

I need to see the follow up videos! There is almost nothing on the internet showing the Lancia v4 engine work. Just blew my head gasket and I know the rods were already needing replacement.

[@abidmahmood8961]

Great commentary fuzz. More of the same please.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

An interesting designed engine... I've not see that layout before...

[@tiagofigueiredo2529]

Vw uses that type of engine in their VR lineup. Also, the W configuration used in some VW/AUDI and on Bugatti's works the same way.

[@koi0009]

Great video

[@1258-Eckhart]

Will there be a sequel? I admire these engines.

[@alanhindmarch657]

Lancia were a very enervative company, they did a lot of firsts in the motor manufacturing industry.

[@1258-Eckhart]

@k halliday I do believe Issigonis wanted an engine like this for the Mini but had to make do with the old Austin lump, meaning he had to put the gearbox in the sump.

[@antoniomarchese6641]

You spek italian 😄🇮🇹

[@robertoorsi5771]

Please it's an italian car. The correct pronunce sounds like Lancha, not Lansia. For example the pronunce of the german car Volkswagen sounds like Folksvaghen.

[@bobspeller2225]

Thats more video's

[@seancoultard9531]

Just realised Tim is Mr inappropriate

[@frogandspanner]

What a pointlessly complex engine geometry.

[@sylvain-paulcote5470]

That's Italian design for you! :)

[@jlwilliams]

It's complexity for its own sake. Everything Lancia did tended to be more complex, more expensive, less reliable, and really no better than a more conventional design, but car nerds loved them precisely because they were so unapologetically gratuitous. A V4-powered Saab 96 was a more effective car in just about every way, and would last about forever until owners started skipping maintenance, but the Lancia was beloved for being a gloriously impractical work of art.

[@tobydmv]

Where is the complexity? I only see elegant simplicity. Its 2 valves per cylinder, over head cams that share lobes for intake and exhaust, adjustable rocker arm/tappets, and a cam chain. Complexity would be 4 valves, 4 cams, shim and bucket over valve, variable valve timing and transverse layout...

[@richardverney6702]

My first car was a Fulvia, and I have always owned at least one (often 3 or 4 at a time). I have probably driven close to a million miles in Fulvias, and have only had 2 engine problems in all that mileage. One was the failure of an after market electronic ignition that I had fitted 6 to 8 years earlier, and another was the failure of the petrol pump. One engine I rebuilt when it had done 200,000 miles and everything was still in original spec; just replaced standard piston rings, standard bearings shells (including mains). Some of the bearing shells had all but no sign of wear. Skimmed the head and reseated the valves, and the engine was good for another 100,000 miles. It is rust that is the problem on these cars, not mechanics..

[@y4nnickschmitt]

If you find that to be complex than anything with early fuel injection will break you😂
