MAIN BEARING
Carefully inspect the crankshaft for minute cracks espe-
cially where there is a change in section. Should there
be any doubt always consult the  official agents for
further advice.
Inspect the journals and crankpins. Should score marks
or ovality exist on the journals or crankpins they must
be reground and new undersize bearings fitted.
Undersize main  bearings are obtainable in the sizes
.0079, .0157, .0236, .0314, .0394 inch ready fitted in
supports.
Undersize connecting rod bearings are obtainable in the
sizes .01, .02, .03 and .04 inch. The crank should  be
reground to match the appropriate bearing undersize.
The clearance between the main bearing to journal
should be .00079 to .00256 inch and the connecting
rod bearing half to  crankpin  between .00043 to
.0024 inch.
2 1
The special cast iron crankshaft is hollow to  allow for
the passage of lubrication oil. It is supported at its ends and
is provided with two cranks and a central counterweight.
The crankshaft plays an important part in the operation of
the lubrication system as its cavity provides a passage for
the oil flowing from the centrifugal filter.
Before inspecting the crankshaft thoroughly clean the
internal passage and  drillings as well as the exterior and
then proceed as follows: 1:11 Crankshaft and main bearings Upon reassembly the connecting rod cap nuts must be
tightened to a torque wrench setting of 23.9 Ib ft. 

After the  crankshaft  has been reground  it is important
that all traces of swarf are removed  by constant washing
and then drying with a non-fluffy rag.
The clearance between the main bearings and journals
must be checked before installing the crankshaft in the
engine. It should also serve as a recheck after the
crankshaft has been reground.
Measure the maximum main bearing internal
diameter and the minimum journal diameter using
accurate measuring equipment. The clearance must not
exceed .0039 inch otherwise the journals must be
reground and undersize bearings fitted.
Undersize bearings w i t h  .0394  inch stock on the
internal diameter are also supplied unmounted. They
must be press fitted in the supports, the recommended
interference fit being .00039 to  .00197 inch. After
pressing the  bearing  into the support,  a hole is drilled in
the bearing in line with the location dowel hole in the
support. The hole is finished with a suitable expanding
reamer, such as  Fiat U.0334, and the dowel pressed i n ,
noting that the hollow dowel fits in the flywheel end
support.
The next stage is to heat the assembly in an oven or
oil bath for a period of one hour at 150°C (302°F).
When the assembly has cooled to room temperature,
the bearing is reamed in a lathe to match the crankshaft
journal size.

Crankshaft oil seals:
Two inner spring rubber oil seals are located, one in a
special seat in the timing gear cover and the other in the
flywheel end of the crankshaft support and provide oil
tightness. These seals are shown in FIGS 1 :3 and 1 :34.
Whenever the engine is dismantled for overhaul  these
seals should  be carefully inspected for correct seating and
that the  inner seal surface is not worn and that the contact
area  is  perfect both on the crankshaft and on the fan  and
generator drive pulley hub.
Clutch shaft pilot bushing:
A self-lubricating bronze bush  is fitted  in the end of the
crankshaft as shown  in FIG 1 :34 and provides a bearing
for the  clutch shaft. Should the bush be worn use Fiat
puller A.40006/1 /2 to remove the worn bush. A new bush
should be fitted using a suitably sized drift.
1:12 Flywheel and starter ring gear
The flywheel should be inspected for wear at the clutch
driven plate contact area. It should  be flat and have a
smooth finish.
The ring gear teeth should be cheeked for damage
which if evident, the ring gear must be replaced. To facili-
tate the fitting of a  new ring gear on the flywheel, the new
ring gear should be heated in an oil bath to a temperature
of 80°C  (176°F). Using a press gently ease  the  
expanded
ring gear over the flywheel and press fully home.

Pump  dismantling, inspection and reassembly:
Remove the lock ring and withdraw the  pressure relief
valve and spring. Remove the oil pump cover plate and
ease  o u t  t h e  gears and shaft.
Thoroughly clean all the parts and blow clean using a
compressed air jet. Inspect the timing gear cover for
cracks or distortion. Check that the inner duct for oil
delivery to the pump is clear of obstruction. Use a
compressed air jet to clean the passage.
Check the oil  pump gear teeth for damage or excessive
wear and fit new gears if necessary. The recommended
backlash is .0059 inch w i t h a maximum wear limit
giving a backlash of .0079 inch. Check the clearance
between the gear teeth and the housing walls in the
timing gear cover. The recommended clearance is .0012
to .0035 inch w i t h a maximum of .0047 inch. Ensure
that the drive gear is firmly attached to its shaft.  Upon
assembly there is a pinch fit of .0016 to .0031 inch
between the t w o parts.
The driven gear to shaft clearance upon assembly is
.00079 to  .00236 inch with a maximum wear limit of
.0039 inch. Also check the width of the drive and driven
gears which when  new should be .3937 to .3928 inch
with a minimum width of .3917. In service a spare drive
gear is supplied complete with its shaft.

housing in the bottom of the timing gear housing and are
held in place by a cover plate. The oil  pressure relief valve
is located at the driven end of the camshaft.
A pump suction  oil filter is fitted in the sump and this
connects to a duct in the timing gear case so supplying oil
to the  pump  (see FIG 1 : 3 7 ) .
Pump  gears removal, inspection and reassembly:
To remove the pump gears from the timing gear cover
proceed as follows:Inspect the filter screen on the end of the pump suction
scoop and remove any obstruction. If the screen is
damaged it must be renewed.
Check that the  pump drive dog  is a good fit on the cam-
shaft and that the dogs are not badly worn so as to
impair the  pump operation.
Reassembly of the pump is the reverse procedure to
dismantling. Ensure that the pump cover piate is
correctly located by means of the dowel on the timing
gear cover. 5

Drain the oil sump to ensure that the oil does not syphon
out. Thoroughly clean the area around the pump body
(see FIG 1 :37).
Remove the end cover plate by releasing the retaining
bolts and washers.  Carefully ease t h e driven gear down-
wards followed by the driving gear and shaft
Clean all parts removed and blow clean using a com-
pressed air jet. Inspect the timing gear cover pump area
for cracks or distortion. Check that the  inner duct for oil
delivery to the  pump  is clear of obstruction.  If  in doubt
remove the drain  plug  and filler cap and  use a com-
pressed air j e t to clean the passage.
Check the gear teeth for damage or excessive wear,
ensure that the drive gear is firmly attached to its spindle
and that the end cover plate is not badly scored  or pitted.
Fit new parts as necessary.
Reassembly is the reverse procedure to dismantling,
taking care that all parts are assembled clean and the
end cover plate seating correctly with a new gasket. 5 43 21
1:14 Lubrication, oil filter, relief valve
Description :
The engine is pressure lubricated through a gear type
pump which  is incorporated in the timing gear cover and
driven from the camshaft by dogs or gears. The lubrication
circuits are shown in FIGS 1 :36 and 1 : 37.
The pump draws oil from the sump through a suction
horn fitted with a filter screen which is fixed to the crank-
case  by  a  d u c t  in  t h e  timing gear cover. This 
supplies oil
to the  pump.
Oil  passes f r o m the camshaft rear  seat  o n t o  t h e  crank-
shaft rear  support where it flows into an adjacent chamber.
From here the o i l flows through ducts in the crankshaft
from end to the centrifugal oil filter.  The centrifugal filter,
which also acts as a pulley for the generator and blower
drive, rotates w i t h the crankshaft.
Oil from the filter enters a  passage in the crankshaft,
where it lubricates the main  and connecting rod bearings
and passes f r o m a special groove in the front main
bearing and ducting in the crankcase into which is
inserted the oil  pressure warning sender unit, and also
the delivery pipe for oil to the overhead valve gear.
The pushrod sleeves provide the return  path for the oil
from the cylinder head  and delivers oil to the tappet gear
and the camshaft cams. The tappets are suitably drilled
to allow correct circulation of the oil. The tappets are
located in t w o casting cavities, one of which com-
municates w i t h the timing gear housing and the other
one to the  crankshaft front drain support drain.
The oil  pressure is regulated by a pressure relief valve 5
(see FIG 1 : 3 8) mounted at the rear  end   of  t h e  camshaft.
It comprises a hubbed disc which slides on a guide 6 of
the oil pump drive shaft 7.  Under spring load 9 the valve
disc circumferentially closes an annular chamber which
communicates w i t h the lubrication circuit. Excessive o i l
pressure causes the disc to  uncover the chamber.
Centrifugal oil filter:
The oil filter is of the centrifugal type comprising  of
two flanges and an oil slinger. The filter is attached to the
rear  end  o f  t h e  c r a n k s h a f t  a s  s h o w n   i n FIG 1 :38. The
outside diameter of the oil slinger (see FIG 1 :39) is
smaller in diameter than that of the flanges but of such a

crankshaft key way is on the underside
size that centrifugal force does not sling oil  into the area
where the foreign matter is collected. The outer flange
inner face has radial vanes on its face which retain the
foreign matter and the oil  is conveyed to the centre of
the filter.
The oil to  be filtered issues from  the side splines 1
(see FIG 1 :40)  of the crankshaft and  is forced by the
slinger to the  periphery of the filter where  it  is cleaned and
returns to the centre of the filter and  into the crankshaft
drilling 2. The inner flange or hub and the slinger are
secured to the crankshaft by a special hollow screw 6 as
shown in FIG 1 :39, the outer flange is attached to the
hub by six screws.

If the camshaft has been disconnected from the crank-
shaft for any service operation the valve gear will have to
be retimed and to do this proceed as follows:
1  Turn the crankshaft until the reference line on  its
sprocket is pointing towards the camshaft as shown in
FIG 1 :41.
2 Turn the camshaft until the reference dot on  its
sprocket registers w i t h the crankshaft sprocket. Leave
the shafts undisturbed and carefully mount the chain.
Should it be necessary to check the valve timing and
sprocket marks, proceed as follows:
1 Fit Fiat C.673 tool as shown in FIG 1 :42.
2 Temporarily adjust the valve stem-to-rocker arm
clearance of cylinder No.  1  at .01 77 inch for the  inlet
valve and  .01 50 inch for the exhaust valve (Model 500
engine) or at .01 54 inch for both valves (Model 500
sports).
3 Rotate the crankshaft and  set the flywheel timing mark
at 'O' on the graduated sector.  Check that the sprocket
marks are correctly lined  up in this position.
If the engine is being assembled, to install the driven
gear, proceed as follows:
1 Set the timing mark on the drive sprocket towards the
centre of the camshaft.
2  Position the driven sprocket on the camshaft mounting
flange with four screw holes in  line and tighten two
mounting screws only.
3  Rotate the camshaft until the driven sprocket mark
registers w i t h the reference line on the drive sprocket.
4 Remove  the driven sprocket without moving the
camshaft. Install the timing chain and replace the
driven sprocket. Tighten the four screws to a torque
wrench setting of 6.5 Ib ft.
1:15 Valve timing
The oil  pressure indicator sender unit is located on the
righthand side of the cylinder block and is connected to
an indicator light in the instrument cluster on the dash-
board.
The red  indicator lights only when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when o i l pressure has built
up to between 8.5 and  14 Ib/sq in.
Should an accidental shortcircuit occur in the oil
pressure indicator circuit, the sender unit may be damaged
so the cause must be traced and rectified before the  unit
is renewed.
Oil pressure indicator sender  unit:
To ensure a reliable lubrication system there must be
no oil  leaks from the gasket between the outer and  inner
flanges. Every t i m e t h e engine is overhauled the filter
must be dismantled, cleaned and new gaskets fitted.
To clean the filter, remove the six  screws  and  washers
and separate the drive pulley and hub. Carefully scrape
the  inner surfaces to remove all sludge.
Upon  reassembly the filter to crankshaft hollow
mounting screws must be tightened to a torque wrench
setting  of 1 08.5 Ib ft.  The cover to mounting flange screws
must be tightened to a torque wrench setting of 5.8 Ibft.
Cleaning and inspection:
A groove is machined on the outer flange periphery to
form a pulley for the generator and blower drive belt. 

5  Using the graduated sector check that all the valve
timing angles are as detailed in Technical  Data.
Readjust the valve stem to rocker arm clearance to  the
correct setting.
1:16 Valve stem-to-rocker clearance adjustment
It is important that the clearance between the valve
stem and rocker  is  kept to the recommended figure
of .0059 inch, measured when the engine is cold.
If the clearance  is excessive operating  noise will occur
and if less than recommended the valves will stay open
too long which will result in damage to the valve face
and its seating.
Inspect the contacting surfaces for scoring or pitting:
if it is excessive, new parts must be fitted. Also check
the condition of the rocker-to-valve and rocker ball
head-to-pushrod  contact surfaces are free from  wear or
pitting. The faces must have a mirror finish.
The oilway in the rockers and shaft must be thoroughly
inspected and free from sludge, otherwise lubrication
failure will occur.
The assembly clearance between the rocker arm and
shaft should be .00063 to .00217 inch and the clearance
between the rocker shaft and the shaft support should
be .00020 to .00138 inch with a maximum wear limit of
0039 inch.
Turn the engine until the valves of one cylinder are  in
balance, that is, the  inlet valve opening and the exhaust
valve closing. The other cylinder will now have both valves
fully closed. Adjust the valves on this second cylinder by
loosening the locknut, and turning the 
adjuster as shown in
FIG 1  : 43 to obtain the desired clearance measured with
a feeler gauge. Adjust the clearances on the other cylinder
in the same manner.
1  :17  Engine  assembly  (sedan — all  versions)
To reassemble the engine proceed as follows:
1 Thoroughly clean and dry all the parts, ensure that all
drillings are free from dirt or sludge and place on a
clean dry surface.
2 Carefully install the cylinder-piston-connecting rod
assemblies w i t h  new paper gaskets between the
cylinders and crankcase seats.
3 Refit the big-end bearing shells to the connecting
rods, ensuring that they are free from any dirt or
metallic particles.  Carefully ease  t h e  crankshaft into
the crankcase, lubricate the main journals with  clean
engine oil, place a new paper gasket between the
supporting  member and the flywheel end  of the
crankcase. Install the supporting member and  bearing
assemblies. Secure the supporting members with the
screws and special toothed washers.
4 Locate the connecting rod  big-end half onto the
crankpin journals, liberally lubricate the journals with
fresh engine oil, fit the remaining shell half, matching
bearing end cap and tighten the bearing cap nuts to a
torque wrench setting of 23.9 Ib ft.
5  Inspect the camshaft bearing bores and remove any
burrs w i t h a  hand scraper wetted with oil. Carefully
slide in the camshaft ensuring the cam lobes or gear
teeth do not score the front bearing bore.
6  Fit a new timing gear cover paper gasket held  in
place w i t h a little grease. Install the outer thrust ring,
F50029 inner thrust ring, shoulder washer and slide on the
camshaft drive sprocket, locking it with the Woodruff
key. Assemble the timing chain and driven sprocket,
ensuring that the timing marks on the sprocket are
indexing as shown  in FIG 1 :41. Secure the driven
sprocket with six screws and lockplates and care-
fully bend down the lockplates.
7 Install the timing gear cover, the oil pump, oil pressure
relief valve and seal assembly. Secure w i t h nuts,
special toothed washers and plain washers located
in the same manner as was noted on dismantling.
Locate the oil  pump suction horn and secure with the
nuts and toothed washers.
8 Install the flywheel in the same relative position to the
crankshaft as was noted  on dismantling. Replace the FIG  1  : 4 3   Adjusting   the  rocker  clearances  using  the

Since its introduction the Fiat new 5 0 0 model has
been continually developed. The main modifications that
have been  made are as follows:
1 Heating system safety device
2 Recirculation device for the blow-by gases
3 Cylinder head modified to incorporate item 1
4 Double valve springs fitted
5 Cylinder barrels modified to incorporate item 1
6 Flywheel modified to incorporate new type diaphragm
spring clutch mounting
7 Larger air cleaner container.
Details of these modifications are to  be found in the
relevant sections if they necessitate a change in service
overhaul procedure. Other information is to be found  in
Technical Data.
1 :21  Modifications
When the V-belt has been  correctly adjusted the belt
should sag 13/32 inch under a hand pressure of about 22  lb
as shown in FIG 1 : 4 9.
Should  the belt be too slack the generator and
centrifugal fan will  not operate at the correct speed
causing overheating and a discharged battery. Also the
belt will slip causing rapid wear of the belt.  Conversely
if the belt is too tight excessive loading will be placed
on the generator bearings causing excessive bearing
wear and  noisy operation.
To adjust the belt tension proceed as follows:
1 Remove the three nuts ' B '  (see FIG 1 :49) on the
generator pulley and this will split the pulley into two
parts between which are spacer rings.
2 The tension of the belt is increased or decreased by
either reducing or increasing the number of spacers.
3  Place the spacer rings removed from between the
pulley halves on the pulley outer face so that the  rings
may be re-inserted when fitting a new belt.
4 Tighten the three nuts to a torque wrench setting of
14.5
