Barry, You make it sound v straight forward. Good news. The front donut has a stepped thru-hole, right? Part of the nose bearing thru the middle? Easy enough to have an insert fabricated. In fact, when I do this, I'll make several inserts. Press-fit or circlip? So which 540i? E?? series? Do you stic...

I think next time I'll just buy the M5 front & rears. I can figure out the machining requirements myself.

Not so worried about the disk-type middle 1 - on my car it was in far better shape than the donut-shaped front & rears.

Thanks for all the input guys.

Greg,

How will you accurately control fuel & spark?

This seems like the time to make the jump to Gotech or Megasquirt.

This is a good read: http://www.f1news.com/features/targa/prologue.shtml

I wonder was the single disc TO brg upgraded to something beefier -> more expensive?

Wow. Now we're talking serious money. I'll bet its an SKF or IKO or FAG bearing that is a std part....so many of these parts can be sourced thru non-Alfa suppliers, such as wheel bearings. Mats/Rob, you don't happen to have a photo, do you? I had a look on the BB and on .org here; alas no luck. Than...

3 75s and 4 GTV6s Mats. I know 2 of the 75s don't exhibit this much noise. 1 of the other '6s does. It's owned by the son of an (ex)Alfa dealer. He has reported that the noise is very common; nothing to be concerned about. Keep in mind, the noise disappears when the clutch pedal is pressed in. What ...

Thanks Murray!

Thanks Murray. That's a great suggestion. My '6 has ~56,250mi and is an early '85. Twin plate clutch. She may have resided in someone's garage for extended periods of time. Definitely polisher, not mechanic-owned. A lot of work has been done replacing all things rubber; from fuel lines to suspension...

Well, I've searched the forums and can't find the info I am looking for. I have a grumbling/growling noise from the rear of the car when in neutral, idling. If I depress the clutch to select a gear, the noise disappears. Donuts are all new, as is the center bearing. Exhaust is not touching the halfs...

Thanks Tim.

You might want to burn those 2-piece gaskets! The ones that came from IAP are a lot more impressive.

So are you selling any spares....?

The past weekend was spent changing my GTV6’s headgaskets*. Many thanks to SamW for the use of his facilities and for sharing his deep reservoir of GTV6 knowledge. The reason for the headgasket renewal: some oil was starting to pool in the vee between the heads. Every time I drove the car, I had to ...

In order to de-hijack the CF Driveshaft thread, I thought I'd post this in its own unique thread:

Does anyone have info on how to mod M5 donuts to fit the GTV6/Milano/75?

No prob getting an aux o/p from the PLC for the FP. Even ambient air could be compensated for with a thermocouple wired to an analog input. Here's the prob I see: You can draw up your air flow curve based on sampling points on the flow/voltage curve the AFM outputs. Then you could program the exact ...
