Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Hello FIAT Dino friends,

Hope you are well!

I found an old decrepit FIAT Dino Coupe here back home (2.0).
Rusted beyond belief, so I bought all that was salvageable, the motor and transmission. Rear end /axle had disappeared, possibly on an ox cart
Ignore chassis number.

I am going to rebuild it, but I require some parts, it was a low mileage,
and reasonably taken care of, until it was left to rust. the engine is apart, and not mistreated too much.

I need the front 6 pin large nuts that hold the timing gears down below, and the safety rings, missing...

Pistons no problem, J&E. (higher comp.?) Overbore to 2300?
Valves,
seats
Carb rebuilding kits
Water pump rebuild kit
Oil pump (will check clearances).


It still has std. rod and main bearings, but alas, everyone is saying that Superformance has gone down on quality,
but only rebuilding once, so out they go.

Another odd thing, was the drivers side timing chain has no safety lock, just continuous.

If I may ask, where do you find yours?

Thank you for your kind reply.

Best regards,
Alberto

Hi Alberto, congratulations and good choice to restore it!

Engine Parts are it an issue, everything is abailable, amd for other items, Most things can be sourced via the Community, although it may take a while and bargains are rare.

Depending in where you are located: Superformance is a good source (although quite expensive for European Bayers After Brexit. Also Dinoparts in Germany is a good source. They also have available all required Engine Parts in Good Quality and a lot more.

Regarding Timing Chains: They do not have a lock on purpose, I would avoid using ones with a lock with the high revs possible. New ones are available and not expensive - I recommend a new set of them. Heck the bearings on the chain drives. As they are not expensive I would change the four of them.

Happy to further advice and help if needed!

Hi Alberto,

I have a complete 2.0 rear axle with brakes for sale in the Market section. If yours is missing, this might be a good opportunity. I also have some miscellaneous engine parts for sale if you are interested.
