Brazing has been suggested as has cold stitching and chemical metal.
Being the block is cast iron cold stitching would probably be the best option, however prices quoted are quite high.

I have a guy who can probably do it so long as it is not near/into the bore. Not that expensive when i had one done. Where are you? Tim

Never heard of vapour blasting but it's a lovely result. Probably about 15 years ago I did mine, heating it in the oven and using wrinkle finish aerosol, then sanded the lettering as you have. It's lasted well, with a few chips here and there. Needless to say, just for a change, I'd now rather like a shiny plain alloy one! Especially after seeing yours.

this is the chap that carried out the work.
very reasonable prices and quick turn around.

must admit, I am a fan of wrinkle black finish .....  the polished script is a nice bit of individualism (real word or have I been in France too long ?)

ps if you want corks - I can supply them, with or without the full bottle of wine attached - this year's vintage is VERY good - small, but good !

I like the spark plug numbers picked out as well.  Lots to see on the blasters site and relatively "just down the road" for me.

Strange how Lancia numbered their cylinders. Lambdas were numbered in an anticlockwise direction, as seen from above, with number 1 being nearest to the driver (right hand drive). Augustas started with number 1 in the opposite corner of the engine, that is front near side, and went clockwise round the engine. As it happens, if the front crank pin was No 1 and the other crankpins were numbered in order towards the rear, the firing order could be said to be 1-3-4-2, a conventional firing order, with Lambdas and Augustas, so why did they number the cylinders differently? I see the Fulvia was numbered 1-2-3-4 from the front! Any ideas?

Very good site - like the way they explain all the processes. Seem to have happy customers.
