Cylinder liners for v6

[Duk]

There's nothing technically difficult about machining the block. Who can do it with the head studs in, that's probebly the big challenge.

I personally love a good challenge but just in to proceed slowly one job at a time

I'm pretty sure water jackets need welding as well.
I'll take some shots of my block Next week... again, 24v not 12v

A few people over the years on GTV6.com have said that water passages in the heads need to be welded up and moved outwards.
Apparently more effort is needed on the 2 valve heads than the 4 valve heads.

Pistons and head gaskets still look to be the biggest hurdle, in my opinion.
If someone was getting keen, having pistons that raise the gudgeon pin as high as possible and finding/have made suitably longer conrods would help chase more horses out of the stable too.

Just to give this a little nudge.

I emailed Lewis Engines here in SA about some other work I want done and at the same time asked about their ability to bore the Alfa engine with the studs still in place.
They said that they could do such work.
No price was quoted, but as maybe some idea of cost, getting a 6 cylinder engine bored and honed costs $520 and the Alfa block would only need boring.

I assume that is you supplying the bare torn down block ready to bore?

That would be the way I'd go about it, yes.
