For a guy with such awesome photography skills these pics suck lol WE. WANT. PICS!... WE. WANT. PICS!!..

Pics of what? Nothing to show. I will take pics when I put it back together, but teardown, eh, I don't want to get the camera dirty.

Since this thread has been revived, I'll post an update on my Sprint.

I opened up the engine (I was told it was healthy and good to go with high compression pistons, headwork, big valves, and big cams.) The rod and main bearings were very tired, and that lead me to look deeper. Pulled the head to have it tested. The head needed all new valve guides, and there were no valve seals installed on any valve. The intake and exhaust ports are stock, the valves are stock. Those high compression pistons are stock borgo late 1750 pistons. Oh, and the crank has some serious scoring in the rear main journal. Basically I bought a stock worn out engine for a premium price. Not happy. THat said, I did manage to source a euro 1750 timing cover, and will be ditching the Alfetta oil pump and pan for a 1600 Veloce oil pump and stock aluminum sump.

I do believe so, I just got back to town myself and haven’t had a chance to check it out since he drove it back to Portland. All the pics he sent me looked amazing. Course, he made a deal with his wife that if he picked this up he had to unload the Spyder and the Berlina Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^^^ I like those. Are those the metric wheels that you can only put a specific metric Michelin on?

Got some new old wheels, widened originals, now 6x15. A few good dings in the lips, but the bead looks fine. Silver is either a quick spritz or primer, they're not finished. That's OK, I'll do that and some clear.



OE cap sits down flush with the lip, just right.


An old rusty 4.5x15 spare I have - cap sticks way out on the '67 and earlier wheels.


I'm excited! (Note BMW content! E30 transmission!)

37.6 just happens to be close to 1 1/2", but that doesn't make sense - there shouldn't be anything English-threaded on an Alfa.

Anyone know what size socket I need to remove my 1750s crank pulley? It measures at 37.6mm, so I'm guessing a 38, or is it SAE for some screwy reason?

Thanks,
