My same engine, probably same code too
188A4000 ,it should have a variable timing camshafts,those things make the engine much less reliable,it should work by an actuator on the valves cover which operates a valve on the oil line to the camshaft.
This pressurise the cam pulley advancing the opening of the valves to increase high rpm performance (useless on a city car on the Panda 169 chassis) .
How I know it does that because it's what's happening on my car and in fact it's perfect from 4k to 6000 RPMs but mine is because of the broken timing pulley on the crankshaft.
Practically does what we do on two strokes when we lift the exhaust port ,it opens before, higher exhaust pressure and way less torque.
At least I believe it's so .
I'm now curious and I'm going to check.
But I'm sure it's not a variable lift system because we work on lots of those heads at work

Single cam FIRE doesn't have variable timing. In fact neither does the 16v. Only the 1.8 HGT had a variator on one of the cams.

It does,newer versions have it

Fair enough, i didn't know

Likely different markets had different configurations?

Likely different markets had different configurations?

Probably, fiat it's not new to that
Example are the Poland version of the 126 , which never had electronic injection here in Italy but they did in Poland
Or just the camshaft of the little 126A1000 was much more aggressive on the FSM made ones

Made most of the parts.

Stainless bolts.

the main slider parts.

One side has to be deeper at the clamping section than the other.

Fitted together.

Still have to bore/tap for the M5 dog point that will retain the bolts and also make the clamp plates, once that is done I will anodise everything.

Mostly, I made a large hole in my electricity consumption by TIG welding a strange and bobbly confection of peculiar shapes, reminiscent of pillow lava.
Setting together 1.5 mm thick aluminium sheet components.
That being said, it has turned out to be pretty strong, and has an amusingly rustic aspect about it, once it was suitably dressed back.
Worthy of a place in some art collection, I don't doubt....

Started my new lid for the little CNC Mill, swapping a bit of ply for some Ally chequer plate. Snag was I don't have a big enough piece but I had two bits and I have an AC TIG.
First thing to do, cut to size and fold a seam:



Then put them up and check the dimensions:



Yes, the bit will be big enough so I will tack it all up first then cut the profile out, if anything this will actually make it stronger than just a single piece. Just couldn't be without the Morgan folder, such a versatile tool.

Pics or it didn't happen

It'd be a case for prosecution under the Obscene Publications Act .....

 

[Hood]

Got the clamp plates made and all anodised today.

Just etched the markings.

 

[Mick Annick]

Nothing fancy, but the lack of a mill and limited hand tools made this flippin’ hard work…

 

[Hood]

I forgot my logo, now rectified

All I now have to do is hope they fit

 

[oldbikedavey]

Considerable progress in the welding of 1.4 mm aluminium sheet, using Dinosaur TIG....
Ran a couple of quite nice beads, just chasing the errors.
Thinking about a bespoke reserve fuel tank for the Beeza.....
That'll be £2000 saved, at a rough guess...

A couple of days ago I made a silly mistake

good job the blade wasn't sharp , we'd been cutting fireline and sound block boards so the blade was hammered . It took a nano second and there was plenty of claret , No hospital so I'm not in @doubleboost s club yet

Never put your fingers where you wouldn't put your COC ... appendage!

 

[DAPPH]

That's very good of you .
There's the small issue that we couldn't be much further apart (East-West) if we tried! You're in Kent, & if I was 30 miles further West I'd be in the Irish Sea

Split it and send the rim by carrier ?

Horseshoes,bit different ,these are to end up as bug hotels,the customer sells a few horses and breaks them,25mm solid round.

I have an idea for adjusters just like that just bigger

2" end caps, I've had to tooling sitting for a while, this is the first I'll get to use them for a job

 

[DanZac]

,the customer sells a few horses and breaks them,

I read that and the first thought that came into my head was "Surely you can't strip a horse for parts and flog them on. There's no way that can be allowed"
And then my sensible brain caught up.
