vircar
original owner
i just purchased an 80 spider 2000 im the 3rd owner . from what i was told by the 2nd owner the car is either on its 2nd or 3rd engine the problem is that he claims the car overheated and he put it in his garage and left it there for over 11 years told me that he would start the car at least once a week until the car would not start anymore . now heres the problem i brought the car to a repair shop who specializes in fiats they try to start the car but the starter over heated and engine didnt turn they remove timing belt and the cams move freely as does oil pump they try to move the crank by hand and engine only turns 3/4 of the way and then stops cylinders move up and down has anyone ever come across this problem
