Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Hi all,

I was just wondering how the crankshaft is balanced in the 2.4-litre engine.

Is it balanced together with the pulley and/or flywheel?

Or is everything balanced separately?

The reason I ask is that I would like to put a trigger wheel on my pulley.

Many thanks

Best regards,
Bijan

Hi Georg,

just a hint: Dinoparts sells a Mahle TSW1D as replacement, it shows 75° 70° on the outside. Interesting, if I compare it to your values.
I still use the original switch and will look up the temperatures next time when I am in the workshop.

Not at the moment, but I will work on the car on Sunday and can take a pic.

Yes, glove box light is correct

Hi Thomas,

many thanks, I will thoroughly clean the areas and lubricate them, making sure everything glides well. It's really interesting the area is not protected from dust. The rear caliper is indeed a unique construction...

Hi, I disassembled the rear brakes today and I was asking myself if the marked areas (see attached picture) on the rear brake calipers need to be lubricated. They haven't been lubricated on my car, however I think they actually should since there is movement in the parts every time I break, if I am ...

Hi Charlie, thanks for your helpful reply, I had already modified the headers with ports ages ago by welding in stainless steel nuts, but I never used them since to be honest :roll: Next time I tune my carbs I will definitely measure each single cylinder. I will post an update after that. Regards Bi...

Hi Georg,

thank you, mine is currently running too rich, as far as I remember about 7.5.

I will try it with 5.5. Do you measure each cylinder separately? I theoretically could measure each single cylinder through threads in the exhaust manifolds...

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I just asked myself if there are any official exhaust gas CO values (idle) existing for the 2.4l? I couldnt find anything in the workshop manuals I know.

If nothing official exists: on what values are you running your cars?

Thank you
