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...

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. 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...

Rear End Growl
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...

2-piece headgaskets!!
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 ...

M5 Donuts/Giubos/Hardyscheibes
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 ...
