206 manuals

Mike:

Fiat published a fairly comprehensive guide to rebuild the 206 engine: "Fiat Dino Roadster - Coupe: Specifications and Features, Servicing instructions"
along with the "Fiat Dino Spider and Coupe Parts Manual" and "Fiat Dino Coupe Instruction Book" the three give enough information to rebuild the engine without problems.

There have been reprints available on ebay and other points on the internet of all three manuals ... not necessarly cheap, but available. You might try to "Google" Fiat Dino manuals to see what comes up.

The parts manual has been for sale off and on at eBay ... this copy may lack the parts numbers reference, but the break-out drawings of parts is good.

If you have not rebuilt a "Ferrari" engine before, please understand that the factory seemed to presuppose that the mechanic already knows and understands about 50% of the information so they did not bother to print instructions for taking this part out or that part off ... for those of us accustomed to the comprehensive manuals available for Chevrolet or Ford the workshop manuals seem devoid of information.

Disassembly and re-assembly can be done by following the drawings in the "Parts Manual" and carefuly laying out of the parts taken off.

Not really as hard as it may seem at first; hell, I've done it and I'm an absolute idiot!

I'll look around for available manuals and let you know.

Best Wishes
