Want this question answered?
The torque settings for a 96 Fiat Punto 12cc for cylinder head bolts are 30 NM at 90 degrees. Then an additional 90 degrees.?æ?æ
30 newton metres 90 degs angle 90 degs angle
Fiat do not issue torque settings for a punto they use angles so that you can snap your stretch bolts! after contacting fiat and haynes neither of them would give proper torque settings, so i delved into my many tech manuals on fiat fire engines which is what is in your punto and i have successfully changed many fiat punto head gaskets using the following torque settings: stage 1 starting from the centre head bolts tighten to 33nm: stage 2:65nm and finally stage 3: 96nm these torque settings work fine and will probably save you buying new head bolts.

Engine code 176A7.000 camshaft carrier/cap torques M8x1.25 = 20Nm M8 = 10Nm
Head bolts for a Punto 60s need to be tightened in 3 stages: stage 1 - tighten all bolts (in the correct order!) to 30Nm. stage 2 - tighten again, in same order as before, by turning wrench a further 90 degrees stage 3 - repeat stage 2
Punto 1.2 engine code 176A7.000 Torque Stage 1. 20Nm Stage 2. 30Nm Stage 3. + 90 degrees Stage 4. + 90 degrees.
When looking at the bolts from the front, with two rows, starting from the front left and going clockwise, they are 10, 4, 2, 6, 8, 9, 3, 1, 5, 7. The torque is 30 Nm first, then 90 degrees, then another 90 degrees in order.
i asume you know your spanners so to help you on your way the torque settings are Fiat Punto 55/60 1.1/1.2 engine make sure you use new bolts ect. Stage 1 30Nm/22LBf ft Stage 2 59Nm/43.5LBf ft Punto 55 engine code 176A7.000 Torque figures stage 1. 20 newton metres stage 2. 30 newton metres stage 3. + 90 degrees stage 4. + 90 degrees torque sequence 8 6 2 5 10 7 3 1 4 9 bolts 9 & 10 are the flywheel side of the engine
8-10Nm
25 newton meters 30 newton meters 90 degrees 90 degrees hope that helps my fiat punto 1998 is always goin wrong has cost me an arm and a leg since iv had it since Jan 07!! wouldn't reccommend buying one anytime soon!!!! kerryx
stage 1. 20Nm stage 2. 30Nm stage 3. +90 degrees stage 4. +90 degrees Sequence 8 6 2 5 10 7 3 1 4 9 Bolts 9 & 10 are the flywheel side of engine.
