Tools for Nuovo Falcone?
By: Sigean Date: December 5, 2016, 4:42 am

Hi,
Does anyone have advice on the best places to obtain any of the
special workshop tools for a Nuovo Falcone?
I have made some (cranked spanner for the cyl. head nuts,
sockets for the flywheel nuts, etc.) to assist my limited
engine work thus far, but a recent broken valve (and all the
associated collateral damage) necessitates a MUCH deeper engine
strip, and even some of the right tools will save potential
damage and time.
Any advice welcomed!
Sigean

Hi Sigean,
you do not need special tools you can't not yourself easily.
With usual tool can you do the most jobs.
The most complicate tool is the flywheel nut tool you have
already. If you have a special problem do not hesitate and
ask....
Good luck

Many thanks for this and you are right - most tools I have
needed I have been able to make. But old age makes me lazy, and
there is a real satisfaction from using the right tool for the
job! I will be in touch should I need more advice...... the
work on the engine should begin early next year!

There are (bad) pictures of the special tools somewhere in the
links section. Parts lists I think.
I've never had my engine down yet, so can't offer anything
helpful I'm afraid.

Many thanks - the tools I have needed thus far I have made and
they work well. But those that are needed for clamping or
blocking the engine to loosen or tighten the internal fastenings
are the most important and these are often difficult to
make...... and hard to obtain! But my deep engine strip will
not take place until the new year, so time to think about what
might be needed and to get creative.
Kind regards,
Sigean

Hi Sigean,
you don't need such tools if you use an impact wrench for
loosening and tightening of the nuts!

You are correct, especially whe it comes to loosening the nuts
(and I do use an impact wrench)! But for tightening the
screws/nuts on re-assembly I prefer to do this by hand and in
some cases with a torque wrench, as the impact wrench can be a
little brutal at times. And for these occasions giving the
correct support to react the forces applied is the safest way to
proceed. And as I mentioned earlier, there is nothing like
having the correct tool for the job. But I do make my own, and
the photo shows my flywheel locking tool. The steel band is
clamped securely around the flywheel rim and the small steel
plates allow the device to be attached to a convenient bolt on
the frame - such as the footrest bolt. Works like a
charm![img]

I can't see your photo Sigean; most of us use Photobucket and
link to that. It's a pain, but free sites give us ver ylittle
storage (and why should they...?).
If unsure, try here:

Your description of your flywheel locking tool sounds very
similar to what I planned, although in my case I have a long
length of rubber flat belt I'm hoping to strap around the
circumference with a couple of steel plates to pull it tight.

I thought it might not have worked..... bugger. But here (I
hope) is the photo.
By the way, the tool simply fits over the flywheel periphery and
the two bolts are tightened to secure (works well - no slippage
at all), the tool also being secured to the footrest bolt or
similar - the pivited linkage allows a little freedom for this
location feature to find its best position.
