hello to everyone

just picked up my daughters first car, a cracking 1.2 stilo. so far i'm dead impressed with it.

never been a fan of fiats, always rusty, dodgy electrics, etc, etc. but this baby has me converted.

now, as i dont know the history i want to do the cambelt swap. ive done a few before on my vauxhalls so not to worried.

but

just going thru the eLearn disc(which is the best cd-based one i've ever used!!!!) ive come accross something i might have missunderstood.

i can see that once in position you insert the cam locking pins, no problem there, but then later i see i have to rotate the engine to get the pistons half down the bore, which sounds a bit strange as i've just put the cam pins in place!!!!

am i reading it correctly or what??? (never been one of my strong points, lol)

cheers
Kev

erm, nope, lol

will have to check thru the guides

think i have sussed it out tho, makes a bit more sense when your not so tired!!!!!

does anybody have a picture of the tool they use to hold the tensioner with on the 1.2 engine???

i have found a pair of cam locks, the TDC guage is an easy one to make up. i can fabricate the other bit if i have a picture of some form
