Word on the street is that the liners are all proud of the block so a full rebore is on the cards. The crank is OK so just needs the oil way plugs taking out and the crank cleaned out, the heads just need a skim (30 minute job apparently) The engine man tells me he will need the new pistons when he has done the rebore as they will leave a couple of thou to hone out to make a nice snug fit for those new pistons...fingers crossed sometime next week I will be ordering some new pistons.

ps My mate Terry wants me to lash out over £800 on a spot welder as he thinks we will be spending all this year welding old Lancias up.

I have a spot welder cannot remember using it on a Lancia only in the 1970 when working on minis.
On my Lancias I tend to use a good mig welder withe a spot welding function and an oxyacetylene set supplied by
Hobby weld as you only pay for the gas. Hope this helps

Hi all
Top marks to Cavalitto and DHL as the pistons arrived this morning. Dropped them off at the engine man and he is talking about next Tuesday. Watch this space.

Hi Clarkey,
Can I ask how you managed to place your order with Cavalitto? I did finally get some prices from them but now they are not answering my emails. Has anybody else had this problem or got any advice?

Just to contribute on Cavallito, I'm currently just ordering a whole host of items for my Aurelia rebuild. Not being an expert I've needed to ask questions and be guided by their advice etc.
It's taken longer than I thought, plus adding in a few extra items and subtracting others, delays it too. Yes, there are delays of a few days or even a week on emails but do persist and they will sort you out!

I have always found Cavalitto very responsive with quoting as they know me not to be price checking..... Also posting out DHL comes in a couple of days

Thank you both. Coincidentally they have responded to todays email with the requested proforma and payment details, so all is well.

As the manager of the Appia Consortium I place a lot of orders with our Italian friends so they are usually pretty prompt in replying with quotes and the service from DHL is very rapid.

I have always found them to be very efficient and helpful.........but they do not like persistent price checkers.
