Lancia Fulvia S3 Engine Rebuild

57mmStroke · ב-11 לאפריל, 2014

This Engine had been taken apart, machined, and partially assembled by a ''mechanic'' who then lost interest and it has stood for 2 years until the owner of the engine decided that enough was enough

I was then offered the job of making an engine out of this mess. and what a mess. headbolts fitted without cleaning them, big ends and mains torques all wrong, thrust bearings fitted with oil grooves the wrong way round, old std rings used for .40mm os pistons, dirt and debris everywhere, , tight spot on the crank main bearings, and the list goes on and on.

I will try to add pics as i progress.

to those unfamilair with this lovely power unit it is a tiny 1.3 litre (engine code 818.303) with a 15 degs and a little bit (45'28'') between the two banks allowing for the use of a single block and head

Tzodek Israel,

I scanned this from the Factory manual.

Also i started preparing parts for the time of the build. I sorted the alternator first. all parts tested ok apart from the bearings that where noisy. bench testing proved this french alternator is ok

תודה גדי. נראה מנוע מאד מתוחכם. מעניין מה משקלו ומה תפוקתו? (מנוע של רובר 10 שוקל כ 150 ק"ג ומפיק 44 כ"ס).

I sent all the relevant parts out to the machine shop. at the same time i set out to prepare and fix broken parts that the other ''mechanic'' left me with

first was the sump oil baffle corner i used my tig welder for that. then i started on broken studs in the intake and exhaust manifold

.I also cleaned and prepared all the other bits and pieces

I love working on Italian engines from the 60s and 70s because all the parts are very beautiful

Its data are as follows:

bore 77mm

stroke 69.7mm

displacement 1298cc

comp. ratio 1:9

max output at 6000 revs 86 bhp

max torque at 4600 rpm 11.5 kg/m

I cant find data for its weight but my guess is under 100 kg. as i could lift it with another person (i cant say this about your

engine Israel!) it will be interesting to get it on a rolling road dyno if the owner agrees to it once its all built

This engine was introduced in the early sixties with a smaller displacement but it has the same unique design.

I think there are a few examples of this car (and engine) in the holy land

Thanks!

Next I replaced the crank plugs as they have are lots of deposits behind them that tend to start dropping out into the oilways and ruin the new engine bearings

I positioned the shells and torqued them down to the correct manufacturer settings.

locktabs positioned but i like to throw them over before i fit the sump.

Parking this up until next week as I need to tend to other projects

Chag Sameach to everyone
