Hello alfa owners

ive jointed this forum so hopefully i can learn and get some solid advise for my car as im not going the best of luck :mad:

i jst bought the car of a dealer in sydney australia and im having big problems already after 3 1/2 months of owning it.

in a nut shell this is what has happened to my car from my alfa mechnics report
roling motor to top dead centre
check adjusted timing belt
remoeved front coils+ rocketcover
Found metal filings through head (oil pressure and level was good)
may have spun a bearing either on the crank or conrod
needs bottom end rebuild

im thinking of completely removing the engine and putting a much more powerfull engine, Of course alot of mods for it to be successfull but i wanted to do mods to my car and now this crap has happened which will cost me thousands jst to get the car back on the road.

Help!!!

has anyone done any complete engine conversions to the gtv v6
ive had a look at the the stroker kit or supercharger kit of autodelta but i think it would be cheaper using a more powerfull engine instead of moding the 24v v6, 5500 pounds for a stroker kit is a joke

what would u do in my situation???
