Here's the problem:
Puntalini aste
Le aste non risultano essere deformate e i puntalini non usurati.
According to the database, a "puntalino" is a push rod. If that's the case, what are the "aste"?
Need a translation for "puntalino" in context.
Thanks.

tappets
Perhaps they are using puntalini for punterie.
Many older engine had pushrods and tappets.
If this is the case puntalini/punterie is tappets and aste will be pushrods imo.
This would also match the phrase Le aste non risultano essere deformate e i puntalini non usurati, as one of the things you'd be checking in an engine rebuild would be if the pushrods were bent and the tappets were worn.
tappet
n.
(mecc.) punteria (del motore): tappet adjustment, registrazione delle punterie
● tappet rod, asta di rinvio □ tappet stem, asta della punteria.
