Building a hot head for my 1971 Alfa giulia.
But I have a problem that might be solved by Subaru valve buckets........ the BMW valves I have in, have a larger shim gap.
The shim range by Alfa is not big enough for what I'm doing. but Subaru buckets are thicker and also available with inbuilt shims.
I've heard that Subaru cam buckets (both the type with and without shims) will fit.
IF ANYONE HERE HAS SOME VALVE BUCKETS THEY CAN MEASURE FOR ME ? I'm after the internal diameter (hoping for 33mm) and the external diameter (hoping for 35mm). I understand that they are about 24mm tall (Alfa ones are 25mm).
Can anyone let me know ?

That looks super clean, goood luck with the engine rebuild, is it a 1.6? I really like the stance too, its just a bit tricky since the sump is so close to the ground even at stock height! I don't have an engine yet but I have some leads about a local one. It's a 1300, but with the work I'm doing, hoping for 130bhp, so more torque and some silly revs. Easy route would have been a bigger engine swap. But the oversquare 1300 is a revvy sweet gem. And not enough 1300s about. Stance wise, I'd like the back an inch lower, but your right about the front. Although it's always the front silencer that scrapes, not the sump.

Few probs at the mo.
The BMW larger valves in the head, have a slightly shorter collet than standard. So I need bucket shims that are thicker than what's factory available.
Compression test come out at 9.9:1 so that's good. Wet test assembly proved enough valve clearance follow bigger valve pocket machining in the pistons.

Ok, a few words. 1000 miles of rally, but getting there and back added another 1000. We took an Alfetta saloon and a 75 twin spark. 4 days of rally. My 1st time as a navigator. Cracking scenery and some real scary roads. 72 cars started, 70 finished. Lots of.....mini coper S's, lotus cortinas, v8 model A, Audi Quattro, BMW 2002, etc etc etc Did about £500 in fuel and tolls, 750 for driver and nav, inc hotels. Lots of the attendees were a bit clicky..... But we had a giggle, constantly trying to catch the marshal Volvo that was having 20-30 min head start putting out markers. Best bit was a spirited chase of a 100hp bike carb engined imp, around gorge roads with 500ft vertical cliffs. Few more pics

Little update, eibach springs brought the rear down, and a new chin spoiler to get rid of the 75's chinless appearance. Sits better now.

I have a set of Borbet A alloys in 15x7. All in good order. Looking for £230 though, so probably not the "cheap" you wanted. I'd be interested, pics and ET
