1.4 16v

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

Made from induction hardened cast iron. Resting on five main bearings with interposed half-bearings divided into size categories.

The crankshaft endfloat is adjusted by two half-rings housed on the middle main bearing.

Eight counterweights at 180° balance the crankshaft rotary masses with precision. A channel running along the length of the shaft lubricates the main journals and crankpins.
