I start to feel some lost love vibes ;D My 2.5 sits in garage waits for me to get better conditions for it's rebuild and I am watching if not video of driving Alfa with V6 a video of it being rebuilded.
Hello thanks for all. Too bad we cant see the crank assembly Have you ever heard of oil pump failure, oil pump chain on those 3.2 ? Cant find new one Thanks
You are welcome. Unfortunately I couldn't film the crankshaft assembly at the time. Never seen a chain failure yet myself. Here there is a video of the oil pump assembly. th-cam.com/video/k0UqkQsOjmI/w-d-xo.html Unfortunately I Don't think that are available anymore. But you can try EB SPARES based in UK. They have lots of Busso V6 Parts.
is it better to use mineral oil or synthetic in the alfa 164.3.0v6 12v engine? if the outside temperatures are -39-+36 celsius..and which viscosity is the best?
are the alfa 164.3.0v6 12v QV piston valve holes the same size for the intake and exhaust valves, when you put them in place, should the arrow point towards the distributor head?
classic mechanicing...experience is golden....my 3.2 v6 GT engine has 142,000 on it...i'm saving up for the rebuild...whats a ball park for top end and full? im in newcastle?
Hi. No major issues. The important things are the shell conditions so recommend to inspect them and change if is the case and the cylinder liners. In that case where like an easter egg out of measurements and big end shell where worn. The reason of the full rebuild is because the Diff blown up and was due a Timing Belt but the main reason was that the coolant bottle had some oil in it.
Hi great work there it has helped me a lot. .. I am a bit confused about the torque on the Conrods bolts my workshop manual says 2.0 newtons first and then 50 degrees you did 80 degrees I am worried because I have just rebuilt my 147 gta engine and are about to put it in the car soon have I done something wrong with the degrees on the Conrods bolts I have Seen 3 torque specs now on a old 24 valve 53/59 degrees and on another 24 valve 48/53 degrees and now on the 147 gta manual 50 degrees I am truly confused
Thank you so much. So I used Renzoil black sealant. It's one of the best on the market. Indeed I put sealant on the surfaces and after squeeze some into the holes.
Great, I have to do all this myself. Need cam belts done, Valve cover gaskets, coolant has some black bits in the reservoir, thinking that my head gasket may be waiving me good bye. Regardless, I am gonna get the engine out and do it all while it's out. Your video is a great guide! @@alfaromeofanclubedinburghuk

does it hurt if the tensioner of the 164.3.0.v6 12v distributor head is adjusted approx. 5mm above the marked tension? because I would suspect the original oil tensioner to be tighter.?
Good morning, my name is Paolo Lizzola, please, can you tell me where I can find the piston rings of a 3.0 V6 24V Alfa Romeo engine, I am restoring a Lancia Thesis with an Alfa Romeo 3.0 V6 24V petrol engine. Thank you very much
Salve Paolo. L'azienda che uso in Inghilterra per I componenti del BUSSO V6 si chiama EB Spares o Alfashop www.ebspares.co.uk/alfa166/engine25_alfa166.cfm www.alfashop.co.uk/ Hanno possibilità di reperire molti ricambi. Le auguro una splendida giornata Alfonso Cutino
i didnt see it, but why rebuild at 100k miles ? My 2.5 have 300 000 km and doont need rebuild - compression 14,8 bar and no oil consumption (4000km 0,5L)...
Nice work. Are the EB spares replacement ring set genuine factory? Only because 10 years ago I found out that my gta which had a rebuild had faulty rings especially the bottom one ( oil control ring)They were not genuine. It was burning 1litee of oil every 250miles at the time. I had get a set from Italy through Autolusso and that was a ballache to source 10 years ago. 10 years on she doesn’t burn any oil whatsoever. Also did you set the ring gaps which I had to do? I think that might have been part of my oil issue.
Hi. No aren't genuine but are good quality. Indeed you have to check your ring gap. In this case it was 0.65 mm of gap which is way too much. So I had to replace the liners. From EB Spares you can get also brand new liners and Piston with rings.
Hi Alfonso,great job,top class.Martin
Thanks mate. Pop in when you are close by. Ciao Alfonso

When will be finished I will make a test drive video too
@@alfaromeofanclubedinburghuk awesome, can't wait for part 2, I'll make those 2 parts as my fairytale to sleep
@@Painkiler99 holy crap you're here as well :p
@@r2dter yeah! Just couldn't miss so great video
Coming soon 😉🇮🇹🍀🏴
aren't all (2.5/3.0/3.2) conrods the same, 130.9 mm, and the difference in stroke accommodated by different piston compression heights?

Love your work
Which silicone did you use to fill the main cap on the flywheel side ? You filed it when its installed ?
Thanks 💪

Hi, great video! Where did you ger the O-rings for the liners? I can't see them in Eper. Mine is not 3.2 but 2.5, do you have Part No?
Thanks
Hi thank you so much.
You should be able to order them from @Autodoc
m.autodoc.co.uk/ajusa/7191095
or try EB Spares if you are based in UK.
Great video! Is there a Part 2?
Coming soon

I haven't been able to find part 2 of this...?
Coming soon. I had some family and health issues. Stay tuned
where can I purchase a cone to insert pistons? do you know the cone measurements

Quick question. Did you replace the head studs and nuts ?
No are the genuine ones

The reason of the rebuild was the oil in the coolant

You dont check piston ring clearance ?
@dino599 checked already. We where 0.25 mm so perfect
