Mate, I'm really sorry to hear it. Same thing happened to me a few years back, so I feel your pain.
If you haven't already, it would be worth posting on the AROCA forums too - I'm sure anyone there would be more than happy to ask around and keep an eye out.
Best of luck

3.0 12v conversion - I know!!
Hi guys, I've picked up a 1988(?) 75/Milano 3.0 that had a pretty bad smack up the arse at 110,000km. I've read through just about every thread I could find on what I need to do to drop a complete 75/Milano 3.0 into my GTV6 and here's what I've figured out so far; - I'm using the 3.0 flywheel and st...

Re: Blue Smoke @ High RPM
Good news! I have perfect compression... In two cylinders.
The other four show 90, 110, 50 & 50 respectively. Sounds like the perfect reason to chuck a 3.0L in.
Thanks all the advice, guys.

Re: Mark contact info, to get some gp kits for gtv6 made?
I'd be very interested in getting in touch with Mark or getting details on the kits, if anyone felt so inclined?
I like the idea of the Grand Prix kit, maybe with the GrpA bumper of his that I've seen.

Re: Differnce between GTV6 and Milano with Bilsteins
My mistake. The dust cover/bump stop part was what I was ultimately getting at. Poor choice of words! In regards to the internal bump stop idea, I guess I shouldn't always trust second hand information! I've not had either shock apart, nor have I installed B6s. I only used the B4 as a reference as t...

Re: Differnce between GTV6 and Milano with Bilsteins
The Koni part numbers are the same because in the later cars, you have to re-use the bump stops from the original shocks. The same shock can be used for the early cars, just with a different cover. Regarding the Bilstein part numbers, they have changed since mine were purchased, evidently. Seeing as...

Re: Differnce between GTV6 and Milano with Bilsteins
I had a set of B4s that I pulled from an Alfa 90. They had the same part number as the 75 (Milano), but had no bump stops. Now, it may be an isolated incident, or a mistake by a previous owner regarding installation of the shock covers, but needless to say it caused some very odd movement in my GTV6...

Re: Isostatic Interchangeability?
Thanks for the reply, Xrad.
I've since ascertained the fact that they are the same, I just wanted to try and avoid having it out of the car for weeks until the rebuild happened. She's my daily driver

Isostatic Interchangeability?
Does anyone know if isostatic linkages are interchangeable between models?
The one in my GTV6 is in need of repair and I would like to rebuild a spare I have from an Alfa 90, rather than have the car on stands for a week whilst I search for parts.
Any hints would be brilliant.
Cheers

Re: Blue Smoke @ High RPM
Will do, thanks Zig.
What causes this characteristic? I have oil as far down as the air filter, which is slighty concerning to me. I don't know.

Re: Blue Smoke @ High RPM
Thanks for the help, guys.
Xrad, it would appear you're on the money. There's a fair bit of oil in the intake hose. What are my options? I assume that would be caused by a leak somewhere?

Re: Blue Smoke @ High RPM
Thanks, ghnl. I know I had a small fluid leak back into the booster due to a failed master cylnder. I never thought of that. I have since replaced the MC, so I assume that is no longer an issue. I'll get my mechanic to have a proper look. Any thoughts on blue smoke at startup on a recently rebuilt e...

Blue Smoke @ High RPM
I couldn't find a thread that lists it under the search function, but I apologise if this topic has been covered elsewhere. As the header says, I've got blue smoke coming from my exhaust from 5000rpm upward. I've read and been told that it could either be rings or seals, but nobody has been able to ...

Wrecking Alfa 90
As it states, I'm pulling a 90 apart. 86 model, very straight chassis & panels etc. Seems a shame to destroy such a nice example, but at this time, and the cost of keeping my GTV6 going, she has to go. I'm located in Tasmania, Aus. The only parts spoken for so far are the engine (plus ancillarie...
