Shell`s are a term we use for the bearings around the crankshaft that fit into the conrods

Ah... dont worry wrinx.. i had to change all piston rings in mine GTA 3 months ago as she ate 1l oil per 700-800 km... 150kkm on the clock

and most of the parts (rings, seals set) are not available in aftermarket shops... only original parts by alfa romeo.... = pricy

regards
