I removed the head about 2 years ago. It was one of the hardest thing that I had done as the head was seized to the stud due to the corrosion. I have replacement studs but I suspect removing the existing studs will be rather difficult and there is risk of breaking them. 3- The top of pistons (all four; number 1 being worst , number 4 being the best) on the intake side shows marks of what appears to be valves hitting pistons. Could this be due to timing chain wear/stretching. The engine was running OK with good compression before the tear down. I had the head result 2 years back and the shop did not replace the valves and did
not
mention that valves were damaged. The head is in storage and I have not examined it (will do so when I retrieve it). Was wondering if you guys have seen this and could the valves survive something like this. 4- I am repainting the car (originally red). Was wondering if some one has the Alfa color code for that vintage Alfa. Debating whether to change the color! 5- Any advice outside of the above questions would also be appreciate. Thanks, David [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/ms-tnef which had a name of winmail.dat] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 06:30:07 +0000 From: Richard Welty <[email protected]> Subject: [alfa] administrivia: Powell's Books Other ways to support the digest Richard's Amazon wishlist: http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/30PQXKZQN9GWX/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go (there is more than one list on amazon, see the menu on the left).
