Greetings,

I am sorting through a 40 year collection of Alfa parts I just purchased. Some stuff is racing left overs, and some regular stuff. I have four pistons that I can't figure out what they are for. They are 78mm, marked AE, and don't have a type number like most Alfa pistons. These are the nicest cast pistons I've ever seen, and they have small grooves or ribs in the top ring land. If anyone has any clue I would appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Jonathan Coine

    Hi, I'm a new member. I have already introduced myself in the specific thread. My car is a GT 1300 Junior, but since i bought it already had a 1600 engine installed.

  6. Another 2L Nord Engine Rebuild--your input wanted

    Engine Repair, Diagnostics & Rebuilding
    I'm about to embark on rebuilding a 2L (from a '74 spider SPICA) to put in a 105 Guilia Sedan that currently has a 1300 and has a hydraulic clutch. I've read some books (eg Jim K's), been to supplier web sites, studied the forums...there seems to be a variety of different and evolving ideas and...
