Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Very cool... this is what those cars are all about... a special moment... a time capsule... this very moment.

At least for me

does not look like the original color... do you know the one from the factory?

Yes, 152 Fiat red is "rosso vivo". This is exactly the color my Dino sitting in Mark's garage was delivered when being new. As far as I know that was quite rare to the Dinos

Yes, Mark is phantastic in terms of knowledge and execution. He has already shown me quite a few details about the spiders I never was aware of. Currently, he is working on a second Dino Spider 2.4, which also belongs to me. It just takes too long as he is alone in his shop and busy with other cars ...

OK... why asking if completely convinced? I have been taking many engines apart in my life... if it is white... it is water... If it smells like oil, then maybe a crack in the block or in the head, so that both water and oil is getting burnt. Maybe while tightening the head bolts... or... what also ...

White is usually not an indicator for oil leakage, but for water. Another indicator is that is occurs under all driving circumstances. Maybe (most likely) the head gasket.
