Welcome to the forum, Luciano. That a very nice Europa project you have there. Looking forward to seeing your restoration.

The piston rods are stuck in to the pistons

   They are not stuck , they are pressed in . If you don’t need to remove , don’t. If the piston swivels on the rod and wrist pin leave it. If you wish to remove the procedure is in the workshop manual and the tooling required. They , the pins only come out one way. The orientation going back together on the rod is also one way only. All this is in the manual.

Congrats on your progress!

Hi Gabriel,

the link to your photographs is very good, the alternator looks like new, did you restore that or did you have it professionally rebuilt?
