Hi Guys

any 100GL 903cc uno panda a112 (seat marbella even)
any 100g or 100gb engine from a fiat 850.

as long as its a pushrod ohv engine.

but not the type from a fiat 600 as the mounting stud holes are smaller and it wont fit you studs on your head unless you take both rocker shafts apart and shuffle things around to use the cing posts and shaft with the 600 rockers/springs and spacers.

.... unless you take both rocker shafts apart...

You'll want to strip the Panda rocker assembly down anyway.
When I got a set back in 2008 every oil hole on the shaft was blocked, it took a lot of cleaning once striped down and unblocking the oil holes.... you couldn't even see where they were!!

Any you find now will have another 10-years of age & neglect on them, so the time to properly clean them will be well spent.
