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.

Air cleaner—station wagon:
A pleated paper air cleaner element is housed in a
special air intake chamber connected to the front of the
engine air cooling cowling (see FIG 4 : 2) . This chamber
will be seen located towards the rear of t h e power unit
compartment. Remove the retaining wing nut, lift off the
lid and the element can be withdrawn by lifting upwards.
2:10 Blow-by-gases recirculation device
Engine 110 F.000
All the oil vapours and blow-by-gases that are formed
in the engine crankcase are drawn to the cylinder head
cover recess 1 (see FIG 2:18). From here they travel into
the pipe 5 via a breather valve 2 which is firmly attached to
the oil filler cap 3 and the strainer 4 located in the filler
neck. The oil vapours and gases are then d r a w n back into
the duct 9 from the pipe 5 which connects the air cleaner
6 to the carburetter 7. This ensures a complete closed cir-
cuit circulation.
Engine 120.000:
From engine No. 288156 the oil vapours and blow-by-
gases instead of being exhausted to the atmosphere are
conveyed to the air cleaner and from here they are drawn
back into the combustion chambers. To ensure that an
excessive of oil vapour does not pass along the piping
with the blow-by-gases a diaphragm is fitted in the duct
in front of the breather valve 2 (see FIG 2 :18), the dia-
phragm comprising a filter gauze 11 and moveable parti-
tion 10.
It should be noted that the oil vapour strainer 4 (see
FIG 2:18) and the flame trap 8 can easily be removed
from their seating for cleaning or renewal.
2 : 1 1 Fuel tank
The fuel tank is located in the front compartment as
shown in FIG 2:19, it comprises a filler union fitted with a
cap, a fuel reserve supply indicator sender unit and a con-
nection incorporating a filter for the main fuel supply pipes.
To remove the tank proceed as follows:
1 Remove the contents of the front compartment includ-
ing the spare wheel and tool bag.
2 Disconnect the main fuel line at the sender unit and also
disconnect the cable to the fuel reserve supply indicator.
3 Remove the four screws together w i t h the clips that fix
the tank to the body and carefully lift away the fuel tank.
4 Carefully drain the contents of the tank into a clean dry
container of a suitable capacity.
Fuel tank—sedan (110 F.) and station wagon (120):
The fuel tank is arranged in the front compartment as
shown in FIG 2 :20. To remove the fuel tank proceed as
follows:
1 Remove both screws which secure the front ends of the
clamping bands to the dash panel. The screws are
shown by arrows in FIG 2 :20.
Petrol tank cleaning:
The tank must be thoroughly checked for leaks espe-
cially at the joint seams. Should a leak be found it is
F50045
advisable for a garage to attend to this as it is very dange-
rous to apply heat to a petrol tank without first taking strict
precautions and a garage will be in a better position to do
this. To clean the tank interior, remove the drain plug and
spray in a jet of air or petrol so that all sediment and dirt
deposits can be loosened. Then vigorously shake the tank.
Flush the tank w i t h petrol and blow the tank dry. Repeat
this procedure until the tank is clean. Refit the drain plug.
Whilst the petrol tank is away from the car it is advisable
to disconnect the fuel feed pipes at the pump and the
carburetter and ensure that these are clear by using an air
jet to one end of the pipe.
