This 1990 Alfa Romeo Spider came to us with the owner commenting on some engine oil leaks. It’s a big job to stop these, but we’re giving it a shot.
With the engine and gearbox removed from the car, we pressure-washed both to degrease them along with hand-scrubbing with a brush to remove as much as we could. We’ve also cleaned up the engine bay, removing as much as possible. Unfortunately, the white paint has been stained by the years of leaks, but it’s much better than it was.
We will be replacing all of the engine gasket, cylinder head gasket, and also installing a new water pump as the bearing on the old one was failing, beginning to shell out, and spraying rusty material around the engine bay.
