The Fiat A.60 was a four-cylinder, air-cooled inline engine developed in Italy in the 1930s.

Contents

Design

The A.60 had a valve control mechanism and the distribution shaft seal, which had a special cover ensuring uniform cooling of the cylinders. In addition to the basic A.60, an A.60-R version was developed which featured a front reduction unit, self-centered, and an output of 145 hp at 2,500 rpm, or 1,580 rpm per minute for the propeller.
