Just a quick question.

Is the 1049cc 'Brazil' engine (same as in the the 127) part of the Lampredi twink family (albeit with a SOHC head), is it related to the Lampredi SOHC family, or is it something completely different? Only reason I ask is because I would have thought it would be related to the SOHC 128 family, but the bore-stroke numbers (76mm x 57.8mm) correlate more with an early small-capacity (Beta 1300) twink figures.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No it's no relation to the lampredi design - twin or SOHC variants.

Parts are really rare for the 1049CC engine these days. I believe it may have been used in the Mexican Fiat Palio, but in Europe it only appeared in the Y10.

suely it also appeared in large numbers in the 127?

Thanks both for your responses.

Yes, they did make a lot of 127s with 1049cc donks. They can't all have disappeared for spares to be that rare, surely?

I am rebuilding my lancia Y10 turbo engine at the moment. I am having real trouble getting big end shells, can anyone help?
