21 To ensure no damage occurs to the long cylinder
barrel mounting studs these may be removed using
Fiat puller A.40010 or a universal stud removal as
shown in FIG 1 :12.
1 :5 Engine disassembly (station wagon)
To dismantle the engine proceed as follows:
1 Remove the exhaust silencer and manifold by releasing
the four nuts holding the two flanges from the cylinder
head. Also disconnect the two silencer mounting
brackets and lift away the exhaust system (see
FIG 1 : 2).
2 Place the engine on a firm wooden top bench. Release
the clip holding the tappet cover and lift away together
with the drip tray. Disconnect the fuel line and throttle
linkage at the carburetter and carefully lift away the
carburetter together with its insulator joint and gaskets.
3 Remove the generator drive belt by releasing the three
nuts so splitting the semi-pulley. Lift away the drive
belt.

4 Remove all the bolts securing the air conveyor ducting
to the cylinder head and to the crankcase, carefully
separate the panels and lift away the separate panels
ensuring no damage is caused to the mating faces.
5 Release the ignition distributor retaining bolt and lift
away the distributor.
6 Remove the fuel pump retaining bolts and also the
three fuel pipe retaining clips and lift away the fuel
pump assembly together with the insulator, gaskets
and control rod.
7 Release the t w o valve rocker retaining nuts, note the
order of assembly of washers and ease away the rocker
shaft assembly from the top of the cylinder head.
Carefully lift out the valve rocker pushrods noting
their relevent positions for correct reassembly.
8 Slacken the four cylinder head cap nuts and the four
conventional nuts in the order shown in FIG 1 :46. Lift
the cylinder head away from the barrels. If difficulty is
experienced it is essential to use Fiat tool A.40014 or a
similar drilled plate as shown in FIG 1 :9, otherwise
serious damage could be caused if other means are
used.
9 Remove the four pushrod sleeves and the casing con-
taining the oil ducting to the overhead valve gear.
10 Remove the six screws holding the centrifugal oil filter
pulley cover and lift away the cover. Remove the
centrifugal filter mounting flange by unscrewing the
crankshaft central bolt. Also remove the timing cover
f r o m t h e rear of t h e crankcase. Note carefully the posi-
tion of the nuts, toothed and plain washers for correct
reassembly.
11 Release the four camshaft sprocket retaining bolts
and lift away the sprocket and timing chain. Using
Fiat puller A.46020 or a large universal two-leg puller
as shown in FIG 1 : 1 0 remove the crankshaft
sprocket and its key
12 Carefully lift out the rocker pushrod tappets making a
note of their location and gently pull out the camshaft
making sure that the front bearing bore is not
damaged by the cam lobes.

Cylinder head installation:
To refit the cylinder head proceed as follows:
Place a new cylinder head joint on the cleaned faces of
the cylinder barrels. Insert the rocker pushrod and
lubrication pipe sleeves together with the relevant
gaskets and rings.
Fit the washers and nuts to the studs and tighten to
fingertight.
Tighten the nuts in the order shown in FIG 1 :44 and
FIG 1 :46 to a torque wrench setting of 18.1 Ibft. Reset
the torque wrench to a new setting of 23.9 Ibft and
tighten the nuts once more in the recommended order.
Replace the pushrods in the correct order.
Refit the rocker shaft ensuring correct location of the
lubrication tube to the rocker shaft and replace the
plain and lockwashers. Tighten the nuts to a torque
wrench setting of 15.2 Ibft. Reset the tappet to rocker
clearance adjustment.
Connect the t w o exhaust side manifolds to the cylinder
head. Using new gasket refit the spark plugs and HT
cables. Replace the rocker cover fitted with a new cork
gasket and blower conveyor to the cylinder head
securing screws. Refit the carburetter and reconnect its
fuel line and controls. Refit the air cleaner and elbow
and connect the rocker cover breather pipe (if fitted).

1 :7 Timing gear overhaul
Camshaft:
The cast iron camshaft is located in the crankcase and is
supported at either end in sets machined directly in the
crankcase. No bushes are used. The camshaft is driven by
a chain from the crankshaft at half engine speed and
operates the overhead valves through tappets, pushrods
and rockers (see
FIG 1 :20).During engine overhaul the camshaft journals and cam
faces should be free of score marks or signs of seizure and
have a bright mirror finish.
The distributor drive gear should be inspected for tooth
wear which if excessive means that the camshaft must be
replaced.
Tappets:
The tappets should be inspected for signs of seizure or
excessive wear. The end surface that is in contact with the
camshaft should be smooth without signs of excessive
wear. Any slight scratches or indentations may be
removed using a very fine oil stone.
Pushrods and sleeves:
The pushrods operate in special axially resilient sleeves
that are compressed on assembly between the cylinder
head and the crankcase. It is through these sleeves that
the engine sump is vented also through which the oil
returning from the cylinder head passes.
Two rubber O-ring seals are fitted to each sleeve to
ensure an oil t i g h t seal between the cylinder head and
crankcase. The sleeves should be checked for distortion
and exact equal length and when refitting new seals must
always be fitted.
The pushrods should be checked for straightness and
the t w o ends that contact the rocker setscrew and the
F50019
The crankcase is an aluminium casting suitably ribbed
to ensure correct air cooling. The main bearing and cam-
shaft bearing bores are machined as also are the tappet 1 :8 Crankcase and cylinders During valve gear overhauls the clearance between the
rocker shaft bore and the rocker must be checked. The
maximum permissable wear between these t w o parts is
.0059 inch. It is recommended that the part which is most
worn be renewed, or in extreme cases both parts. Rocker and rocker shaft: tappet seat must not show any signs of roughness or
excessive wear. 3 Oil shield (for intake valves only) 4 Snap ring

belt tension
1 :19 Power plant mountings
The combined power and transmission unit is elastic-
ally mounted on two supports.
The front of the unit rests on a crossmember which is
secured under the car floor through two rubber block
mountings that are bolted to the gearbox casing as
shown in FIG 1 :48. The position of the rubber blocks
on the crossmember is adjustable so that the assembly
can be correctly aligned.
W i t h t h e rear of the unit the engine crankcase is sprung
to the b o d y rear crossmember through an articulated
swinging arm that compresses a coil spring as shown in
FIGS 1 :47 and 1 :49. A rubber bump pad is mounted
inside the spring to give a progressive action.
Whenever the power and transmission unit is being
serviced the condition of the mountings should be
checked and any worn or damaged parts renewed.
1 :20 Adjustment of generator and fan drive belt
The centrifugal oil filter cover/pulley on the crankshaft
transmits the drive through a V-belt to the generator and
centrifugal fan pulley.

Since its introduction the Fiat new 5 0 0 model has
been continually developed. The main modifications that
have been made are as follows:
1 Heating system safety device
2 Recirculation device for the blow-by gases
3 Cylinder head modified to incorporate item 1
4 Double valve springs fitted
5 Cylinder barrels modified to incorporate item 1
6 Flywheel modified to incorporate new type diaphragm
spring clutch mounting
7 Larger air cleaner container.
Details of these modifications are to be found in the
relevant sections if they necessitate a change in service
overhaul procedure. Other information is to be found in
Technical Data.
1 :21 Modifications
When the V-belt has been correctly adjusted the belt
should sag 13/32 inch under a hand pressure of about 22 lb
as shown in FIG 1 : 4 9.
Should the belt be too slack the generator and
centrifugal fan will not operate at the correct speed
causing overheating and a discharged battery. Also the
belt will slip causing rapid wear of the belt. Conversely
if the belt is too tight excessive loading will be placed
on the generator bearings causing excessive bearing
wear and noisy operation.
To adjust the belt tension proceed as follows:
1 Remove the three nuts ' B ' (see FIG 1 :49) on the
generator pulley and this will split the pulley into two
parts between which are spacer rings.
2 The tension of the belt is increased or decreased by
either reducing or increasing the number of spacers.
3 Place the spacer rings removed from between the
pulley halves on the pulley outer face so that the rings
may be re-inserted when fitting a new belt.
4 Tighten the three nuts to a torque wrench setting of
14.5
lb ft.
