Alfa busso Engine tips and tricks 

Tip number 1 take it to italia auto 🙈😜🇮🇹

Thanks for another great video. Very handy, I am going to change my cam belt soon.

Great video! Haven't tackled the cambelt and waterpump change DIY yet but may do that one day :)

Thanks for the video; very useful.

I really like the tensioner tool you made. Great idea. The 41mm socket i have seen people sand or machine the outside of the socket smaller. I have also seen people shorten sockets because a lot of scokets have a large chamfer at the opening end. That chamfer reduces how much of the socket is tuching the sides of the nut. especially on nuts that are very stubby like steering wheel retaining nuts and this one. Looking forward to the GTV re-assembly videos.

Have a 3.0L 4-Cam in my GTV6. While I'm very familiar with the SOHC version, I check booked the installation of the 4-cam so these tutorials will be very helpful. (Subscribed.)

This video is top! Thank to you man I’m less scared by the holy Busso and the possibility to buy a gtv v6 and do mainteinance by myself!

Thanks for this vid, some helpful tips!

Brilliant info. Appreciate all your videos. I am missing a video on how to replace the generator in a 156 2.5 V6 -99. Thanks.

Great vid!

Thank you for the tips

Sei bravissimo

Saludos de Argentina. Good video.

Thanks Neil great tips there :-)

Great video

Good content!

You should do a 'all the cars I've owned video' :) also great video 👍

Considering taking on one of these. Most experience I have is a cambelt on a mk2 golf gti 8v .... pretty simple.. But this is obvs a different kettle of fish

I usually get a piece of paper and draw a diagram of the auxiliary belt route over the pulleys

Thanks,another great video.Would love to see a video on how to remove the engine as it looks very hard to do in situ☺

Hi Neil, thanks for this great video! I have a question for you regarding factory hose clamps. What clamps do you replace the Visa-e clamps with as they are single use only? Can you recommend any good clamps, and do you sell any?

help, how to remove starter in 155 v6 and waterpump without taking enjin out thanks

Always change trumpet gaskets after loosening trumpets I've lost a week after a cambelt change finding a vacuum leak.

Hi I have rebuilt my 2.5 v6 engine heads after a cambelt failure. I followed you engine rebuild video. The engine starts and idles ok but does not rev as freely as before, I have only rev it to about 4,00 rpm. Any idea why could it just be a air leak somewhere?.

Ciao fai vedere prossimo video sul V6 busso

Off topic sorry, have you figured out how to fix the excess camber on front of 166?

How much Power have the last Tool? For the pulley

Any video on the busso 12v. Cam belt tensioner modifications

Thanks for the quality content Neil! BTW, do you know where to get decent camshaft locks for Busso engines? I've heard many of them are imprecise, leading to rough idling after cambelt change...

Hello! I need your advice. There is an Alfa Romeo 3.0 V6 24v crankshaft. It is in excellent condition, polished, as the liner stuck. But there is a major flaw. On one main neck, 2 halos, deep corrosion, it is not clear from moisture or the consequences of a wound liner. Perhaps the first repair +0.25 will block. moreover, one round halo with a diameter of 4 mm is located on the edge of the liner, literally 2-3 mm enters the working area, the second in the form of a canal 2 mm wide and 8 mm long along an oblique 45" axis is located in the working area of ​​the liner (the width of the liner is 21 mm, with oil groove around), and over the entire plane there is no through channel to the outside, i.e. pressure will not bleed. the thing is that grinding the shaft is not provided. the manual says that the necks are nitrided, if damaged, change the crankshaft. According to the original, there are 3 groups of liners, and according to Glycco, the standard is +0.25. And now here's the dilemma. leave as is, grind at +0.25 in the hope that the corrosion will come off, but we lose the coating of the necks. or look for a rare boo knee, which is quite problematic ...

Actually how do you deal with a stuck pulley on the rear bank when the engine is in the car. A bloody nightmare I’d guess. I’m talking about if the cam timing is a wee bit off and the pulley needs to be adjusted in relation to the cam. Sometimes the generic 3 arm puller doesn’t work. Had one bad experience with that situation.resorted to a press, but cam had to come out of the heads. Luckily the 24v in my case is in a 75 so I have more room to work with. Do you have a factory tool for the puller? Some videos just shows how a slight tap and the pulley pops off, from my experience that’s just bollocks.

Great video. One you might missed at number 1 is when you undo the bolt I think you needed to put in high gear?

How much do you charge for a cambelt change?

😍😍

What do you think about Petronas Selenia 5w30 WR for an Alfa Romeo 159 1.9jtdm 8v 88kw? I hope you answer this. Best regards and stay healthy! PS: I do drive a bit faster.

I remember tensioning the belt was a pain when I did it, even though I had a tool made for it. One thing though that I overlooked, I only took out plug 1. I should have removed all 6 plugs to take away the compression and make it easier to find top dead center. I got it right though, it was just more fiddling to get there. Still, I'll be a lot quicker the next time I do it since I know how now. And. I know it shouldn't be necessary to replace the waterpump every cambelt change but I'm gonna do it anyway. I was lucky that my pump started to fail just weeks before I was gonna do the change. Imagine it fails just a short while after the change, you'll have to do it all over again then. That extra cost is worth not having to redo the entire process.

Pleased to see you had made up a tensioner tool, I had to make something similar when I did the belt on my 156 and thought that I was missing something as it is not a tool that is commonly available.

Hi, what software can be used with elm327 for alfa romeo to check srs and abs?

Any tips on changing the starter on a 2.5 v6?

Hey Neil, I just got a 147 gta, is there any chance of doing a cambelt change without taking the engine out?
