Finally I'm done. Clutch hydraulics bleed, shifter linkage, diff oil, 2 engine oil changes, too many spark plugs cleaning. It appears one or more of the injectors are leaking. It starts easily when it sits overnight. But the accelerator must be floored to restart. That's their problem now. Time to get into my 951.

The Lancia is mostly done. It has a high idle problem think it the idle air control valve and the radiator bleed screw broke but otherwise it's runs well. Thanks for all the guidance and encouragement.
   The car is up for sale! The owner gave me the old engine. Do I rebuild and sell it or sell it in parts or just scrap it.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LoL. He sweet talked me into working on his C4 vette. No start. I did the Optispark, back and legs are still soar 3 days later. Next fuel pump, easy peasy, then remove the hydraulics the PO put on.

I need therapy. I stripped the head last night to carefully check the head. My mechanic told me these heads need to be torqued in 2 stages unlike German cars. That could have been why the coolant mixed. I wonder how much the bottom end weighs. Will it damage my W210 if I use it to move it.

It appear the cylinder walls and cams are too rusted to be saved without significant outlay. So I'm done. Anyone want it?

Is this the original engine or the one you transplanted?

Those are quite possibly the ugliest wheels that I have ever seen on a C4.

Nice car to restore. I saw one on the program Wheeler Dealers, I think the host Mike said those cars were like alkasetzer, just add water and watch em' fizzle away. I don't think they discovered galvanized steel yet. Good luck, Bienvenetto! Ciao!

I have no love for American cars except the for the Typhoon. I can't believe that was the pinnacle of American engineering. That hood weighs so much!! The interior is impossible tight, leaf spring suspension!!! Some young dumbass will want those 20" Giovanni's.

I soaked the block in vinegar/water. Stripped it and cleaned all the bits. Put some oil in the bores Going to try to hone it later the week.
