Thanks SlyCy.

I've got "a little"

more than it's worth in it. but the body and paint looks like it rolled out of the factory yesterday. Anyway, I don't think it'll depreciate much and it can always go up. I ran it like it was meant to be ran yesterday for the first time and it's all worth it. Not to mention it's my second favorite lamborghini, behind the Countach.

Wow was that worth it! Well guys, here is the suprise I received in the mail last week! Makes the wait and money seem worth it!

Hi there

I've had a lot of engine and gearbox work done on my '88 Jalpa and am due to get it back in the next few weeks.

Can you help me with the torque settings for the cylinder head?

Many thanks in advance

Stu

Hi

Take a look at Jalpa_Aus' "Jalpa Engine Rebuild" thread and you'll see the answer in the latest post. Hope this helps.

Hi Stuart,

Congratulations on your purchase. Mine was a first also. I did respond to your question but evidently you didn't recieve the notice.

I'm refering you to Mike Hill's thread below. He is much more involved in his rebuild than I was. Review his thread for tons of information.

Mike Hill - "George gave me the following details. 55 ft lbs. which is 74.6NM MUST ME DONE IN 3 STEPS THEN REDONE 2 TIMES OVER 2 DAYS."

George is George Evans of Evans Automotive in Columbus Ohio. His shop built my engine and is seen in the video link below.

Mike's thread:

My videos on youtube:

Have fun with your Jalpa. It's great to see another one being cared for! Please Consider starting a thread of your own so we can all enjoy it.
