Abarth 500 - Timing Belt, Water Pump, & Spark Plug Tube Seals

Changing a timing belt can be a daunting task, but knowing the proper procedure makes it easy. Watch the video below where I step you through the process on a 500 Abarth.

We changed the spark plug tube seals as well. The #4 one was leaking, and normally when I see oil only on the #4 plug I suspect the air oil separator is leaking into it, but the owner had recently replaced the o-ring on it so that wasn’t the issue.
