Wow. I'll like to see that...
Do you know what 33(or maybe sud/sprint) the engine came from?
Engine number is on top of cast iron near to oil filter/oil pressure sensor. _________________ Alfa33 QO 1984

It's a pre 1990 engine(mecanical tappets). That's about all I can say about it.
Bet that'll be a gas! Have fun. _________________ Alfa33 QO 1984

Eagle can tell it's mechanical tappets from the cam covers.
Good info here including engine number/ model list - http://www.alfisti.co.uk/BoxerA-Z.htm
Actually saw a 'metro' on the road in the week -

So now have the car and looks great
Unfortunaky smokes a lot when revved
Been sat for 12 months nd had one race this year so I'm assuming if it has them that the rubber stem seals are knackered
The smoke doesn't appear to go when warm either it did have too much oil in but have emptied some out, what oil do you use it has 10w 40 part synthetic in it. At moment
Any clues
Please help |

I've heard of some people neglecting to fit the valve stem seals on the exhaust valves on boxer heads - not sure why, or if there is anything to be gaing by doing so.
Pretty sure RS Fruitbat has a 1600 engine without the valve seals, might be worth asking him what the advantage is? |
