Alfa 3.0l engine cylinder liners.

I bought some here for my 24v 3.0 last year, http://www.tecnotrasmissioni.com/index-EN.asp

Did you source any Ian? I notice a 3.0V6 24V going through an auction on 14/11 - unfortunately a sportronic but may be a possible donor?

Thanks Guy
Laurance and i like the look of the liners and piston sets from Westwood's. He is checking the pistons i have for getting the right compression ratio.
In the end the engine will have an almost full overhaul.
Going down the 166 route is not on the cards as most engines like the one you just posted have over 130 thousand miles on the clock, and will require and overhaul soon.
As for parts, the the 12v and 24v are about the same availability.
The other good reason for sticking with my 12v is the I don’t have to re wire the car again and another exhaust system for the car.
Don’t forget getting the car off the isle cost over £340 on i transporter.
Lastly i think the 12v makes a better road car with more linear and lower down torque.
I hope you all on the big island are coping well with the new lockdown especially Guy with the army doing mass swabbing!

Big Island... not heard it called that before Ian! I'm just outside Liverpool in Sefton so not allowed in for the mass testing. Apart from 3 days in the office and one shop a week we're staying indoors. Trying to stay safe and well.

Sounds like your liners are sorted then? Hope the rebuild goes to plan & budget!

I ran into the same issue... as I’ve been designing and manufacturing performance parts before I’m actually thinking of producing them... since they’re so damn hard to find (would probably make forged pistons and rods too then)

I’m however running 24V engine

Well the cars is up and running on the big Island (England) Engine all sorted and making good power. Had to wait 8 weeks for the rolling road near Autolusso Bournemouth.
They found out that the last rolling road setup at Northampton was far to rich at the Bottem end causing fuel wash on the pistons and contamination of the oil.
I hate living on the Isle of Wight sometimes as the 2 minute suggestion can save the back end of your car!
All a can say is the the new motor is a hot rod!
