AFLA 4 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Got it. This is 2nd time. Last was 100K Km ago and I replaced engine from breakers. I am thinking shells and possible regrind. What would be the odds that I will need a regrind or a complete overhaul including top end? Is it likely I will get away with shells alone? Thanks Tuval Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 10, 2014 Removve the cam cover, if you have worn cams then the bottom end is finished and you'll need a complete engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFLA 4 Report post Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Was the shells. No. 3 embedded in the crank. Sold 2 days ago to an ex-alfa mechanic that dropped the sump on the spot and replaced it. Left me the remains of the shell for memories. He will replace the engine. I left Alfaland for a while. Will return in a couple of years either to a 70's GTV 2000 with a Nord or the new Julia. I miss the sele. Now that I have more time, I will launch my dream startup. Edited October 10, 2014 by AFLA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonNorin 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 I seem to have been experiencing the same issue now. It is more like 2 metals gently rubbing against each other and it's kind of freaky. Any thoughts on this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
