Guest Report post Posted June 30, 2013 The pics so far... It turns out that the "Alfa Romeo Specialist" had previously worked on the engine hadn't really done me any favours (one of the ex business partners still masquerades as an Area Rep for another forum, but I won't go into that again lol). It turns out that some of the brand new pulleys that I bought over the last few years aren't actually fitted to the engine, I ave no idea where they are now, perhaps once they are bolted to the block they automatically take on the appearance and patina of a knackered old pulley - some kind of nano technology no doubt... Also miraculously enough the engine that came out of Vinnie turns out not to match the vin plate numbers-wise... I can't be certain that I didn't buy it like that but makes one think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a part of me that is not surprised AT ALL by that statement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
