I was there on sunday afternoon and saw Oliver's 75 in it's trailer. I thought it might be broken but later i heard about the black flag. Such a shame. Hearing 9k rpm would have made my day even better. Kevin, it was nice to meet you and put a face to a name :P I hope you enjoyed the event. Maybe we...

Hi Kevin, have you crossed the water to come look at some alfa's this weekend?

I'll be there on sunday with the giulia. Would be nice to shake hands.

Busso turbo for me..
But needs to be 24v for it's revability.

Some friends of mine did that with original clutches. We have a company here in the Netherlands that can do that. They are specialized in clutches for tractorpullers, trucks and also cars. They can put new material on the plate and refurbish the pressure plate. We used to get old bmw 3.0 v8 manual c...

Thicker headgasket will also alter your distribution timing a small amount.

Www.headgasket.com makes copper headgaskets in any required thickness. But Jim's suggestion seems a better one.

Ask Jack at info@carburateurwinkel.nl

He is very knowledgeable with these things. He might be able to supplie you the right part.

Jack is also an absolute alfa/carnut and a great guy in general. He will most likely also be at the ssar in august.

Could you pm me your banking details? I don't use PayPal but would like to donate as well.

Are you visiting the spettacolo both saturday and sunday? I'll probably be there on sunday only. I'll keep an eye out for your gtv :P If you spot an olivedrab giulia with an ugly old jtd engine in it that's mine.. :mrgreen: won't be many of those around i guess. Good work on the suspension. Dutch we...

Sure thing.

Make sure the centering bush is in good condition and fits nice in the flywheel.

I always leave the bolts loose, start and run the engine a while and then stop the engine to tighten the bolts.

I have a set of camper blocks you can borrow if you like.

It's not easy, that's for sure. But you don't have to open up the engine and it beats using an unbalanced 12v flywheel.

The balancing guy i used a few years ago did something like that. We even sacrificed an old 2.5 crank to fix the flywheel to.

Copying the balance off the original flywheel is the easiest and best solution if you're not opening up the engine.

Very sorry to hear this news however we knew it was coming. I thank you and all other who participated and helped on this forum for their dedication and knowledge. :P It has been a great achievement to keep this forum so friendly and full of knowledgeable people. Most other forums often end up with ...

Be aware that the Mercedes types usually come with an electro magnetic clutch type pulley.

On the 2.3 they used the m45 as well as the m64.
