Re: Wanted: Decent Door Panels for 2-Liter Coupe

Any chance the door panels/cars are the same dimensions on the 2000 and the 2400? If they are the same, there are some really nice looking door panels/cards on eBay right now at a price I'm sure is less than having some reupholstered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193893818223?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3A...

Re: Replacing valve stem seals with the engine in car

I actually added some oil additive to help with oil burning. It helped on my 1978 Jeep CJ with AMC360 V8, but on the Dino the smoking at idle got much worse. I hope it didn't swell the seals too much. It doesn't leak oil but a drop or two. I haven't done a leak down test, yet. As you state it could ...

Re: 2ltr Spider

There are a couple types of clamps for the glass fuel bowl. One is a wheel style that screws up and down, like in this photo: https://www.dinoparts.com/de/teile-zubehoer/fiat/dino-coupe-spider-2000/vergaser-kraftstoffversorgung/filter-mehr/16279/kraftstofffilter-gehaeuse-mit-ueberdruckventil and thi...

Re: Trim

That looks like the trim piece that covers the underside of the steering column. I think it keeps grease from the universal joints from dripping on your pants.

Re: Replacing valve stem seals with the engine in car

I was wondering if anyone had tried the air pressure in the cylinders to keep the valves from dropping method and was wondering if anyone had the tool to compress the springs with the head on the block. You have to remove the cams to remove the heads anyway, but you wouldn't have to deal with breaki...

Replacing valve stem seals with the engine in car

My 2000 Dino coupe is burning oil and smoking out the tailpipe. i suspect valve guide seals more than rings.
Has anyone ever successfully replaced valve stem seals without pulling the heads?
Thanks, Ben.

Electric cooling fan Dino coupe 2000

My electric cooling fan starts with a bit of a shriek, but then seems to run fine after that, and cycles with engine temperature. I am going to assume the bearings are old and tired and it might be wise to have a spare on hand. I have not seen any source listed for new fan motors. Is there a fan mot...
