Z,

JC Shitney have them. Stupidly, they don't have the gaskets for them though. You have to make your own.

Look in their online catalog under exhaust tubing.

So, the same questions still applies - what are you allowed to do (Beryllium DeDion??)? - how much are you willing to spend (the DeDion mentioned above will NOT come cheap) Cheat!! I'm sure your competitors are totally legal <wink><wink> As a wise racer once said, "if you race to be fair, you'...

I use Amsoil Synthetic Gear Lube (LSD) in the Platinum box. So far, so good. Shifts nicely. A little stiff and notchy when cold. Smooth and positive when warmed up.

The 137 and 139 modules are from a 164. Looks like the Saab used them as well. Dwell and advance are ok but I really like the multi-spark of the EDIS. Since the ignitor on the Milano is the same pin and plug configuration I was thinking it would be easy to just take the 137 module and put it in plac...

download.exe is a command line program. open a command line window cd to where the download.exe and s19 file is. type download <filename>.s19 and specifiy a com port (just the number) if you don't default to com1. I don't see why hyperterminal wouldn't work though. Make sure you do a 'W'ipe and then...

Yep, I had a problem using hyperterm flashing the MSn-E code. The center LED flashing indicates a config error for MSn-E so the code is loaded. I had the EXACT same scenario. Here's how a solved it and you need to do these steps exactly and in order. The problem is with the 020i and 021 MSn-E signat...

Below is a posting from Hans Milo to the Alfa Digest earlier this year. He references the keys and the shop manual which recommends leaving them out to time the cams... I don't have the shop manual (Cardisk) handy right here but I'll post the referenced page later tonight. -Peter -------------------...

Yes, and you don't have to use a press to put the pulleys on. The taper is sufficient to keep the pulleys in place by just cranking down the nuts. When you go to pull the pulleys off you're existing cams, you'll notice they don't come off easily. You'll need a puller and they come of with a big pop....

If you shave the heads you leave the keys out instead of using the offset keys. Not a big deal. Alfa stopped using the keys in the 24V 3.0 anyway. Greg, what would you gain with a 3.0 head on a 2.5 besides the larger valves? I'll see if I can drop one on at Besics shop next time I'm down there. -Peter

My $0.02 here. I've found pad and (especially) fluid choices more important for brakes on the track than the caliper. After changing to CarboTech pads and Motul fluid, the Brembos work great for me on the track. Through I only run for 20 minute sessions at a time. The track is going to determine wha...

Greg, they will bolt on. We played with it at Besic's this summer. Neglected to mention putting the 3.0 valves in the 2.5 head. Some slight machine work to set the seats and hog the ports out. Agreed on forced induction. Noone has mentioned super/turbo charging yet. If this isn't a naturally aspirat...

You can mill to 0.060 (1.5mm) before any relief is needed and that's around the edge of the piston, not the valves. Reliablity is fine so far on my car. You can just have a machine shop take 0.040 (1mm) off the surface and reinstall. I've taken my car to 7200rpm no problem. I asked an experienced Al...
