Most highly tuned, stressed out motors require a rebuild afterwards tho

but then, 73 bhp from 633 cc isn't alot anyway (3800cc divided by 6)

What i don't understand is why can't you get 50bhp from 500cc? Ie 300bhp from a 3ltr (that seems to be the general concensuss in the Alfa world )

I have no doubt that Dawie is a clever bloke, but 3.8 is BIG motor, anyone could expect that sort of power output....
