Complete engine overhaul on Alfa GTA

My Alfa 156 GTA was about to reach around 222 400 km and needed to change the timing belt, and on the good advice of the mechanic, I decided to redo the entire engine.
You will see pictures of almost all the stages of the repair of my engine up to final reassembly of the car.

I feel privileged to have owned both a 2.5 and 3.2 litre version of this engine in an Alfa 156 and Alfa GT respectively. Fabulous engines.

[@jla1875]

Confirm i have the 2.5 in 156 , the 3.0 in GTV, and a GT 3.2 and i love them !

[@autodelta1988]

Wonderful!!!!! Taht engine is a piece of art, i had it on a Gt and i miss every single day. You did an amazing job! Greetings from Italy

[@ROTREX38]

Super boulot, franchement ça fait plaisir de voir encore des gens calés en mecanique !

[@David-tg8ku]

Fantastic - great that such a characterful Alfa is being restored!

[@karacop78]

My GTV V6 TB had almost the same mileage when I decided to unregister her after 22 years and keep the car, and went for a used 4200 CC, same color as yours. Thank you for this great video.

[@josecarrera293]

Hello... good, but it's not my car ... my car is the GTA that has been overhauled... ;)

[@karacop78]

Didn't know. Well, I still envy your GTA. You did a great job!

[@josecarrera293]

thanks, i will tell to the guy who made the job .. unfortunately, i'm not equiped to make it and I do'nt have the knowledge ...

[@Roustella]

Félicitations ! Ça fais plaisir de voir un travail aussi propre sur un aussi beau moteur. Bonne route et longue vie à votre 156.

[@nunuskipu2571]

+Graham Riley hi. You're welcome !... share it with your friends, It's not everyday you ça see the busso opened ;) I will make another video to show the condition of the user parts at 222400km with strict maintenance.

[@limarius_prime]

[@josecarrera293]

Merci pour le mécano !

[@John_Doe87]

[@ArturR1975]

Greet from Alfisti Poland ;)

[@ukslmaclab1611]

Amazing Work!

[@alfistiadventures9369]

Looks amazing! great job;D

[@TRHardware]

What a job! Would like my GTA engine to look like that :) Only thing that bothered me visually was the blue silicon intake elbow :P

[@Neo2906]

You`re a lucky guy. My 147 Gta is now in service station. They are doing the same. I have to pay 10.000Euros for everything :-( . The sad thing is, i bought my Gta last december. :-/

[@CE11SCAN]

Brilliant upload lovely work well done my freind👍

[@cristiangajardo567]

bravo !!!! bellizima obra de arte !!!

[@richardw1992]

Fantastic! Have you had a remap to gain more benefit from the carbon plenum? I have the ACT carbon plenum on my GTA which is a slightly smaller volume but supposedly a better design for air flow, even without a remap it made a noticeable improvement in torque.

[@josecarrera293]

Hi, the mine has a form like wing of an airplane ... it is supposed to accelerate the air flow... I don't even want to speak about the design, it's a never ending story as for each shop their own Plenum will be the best. Yes it is remaped,... I have q good torque from 2500tr/min a second KissColl effect at 3300tr .. the same torque as 4000tr previously. The engine keep the same energy up to the "end" at 7500rpm ;) Some guys in some forums tells the carbon plenum is not usefull... these internet engineers are funny ... lol

[@Scuderialfa]

Belle vidéo ! J’espère que tu as mis des vis de bielles neuves et que tu n’as pas hésité à raboter les culasses copieusement

[@fredericdaomusic]

Merci pour ce partage, quel boulot incroyable 👌👌👌 Je vois que tu as monté un plenum carbone , la pipe d'admission est d'origine ou bien différente avec diamètre supérieur ? Quel gain as-tu obtenu ? Merci de ta réponse ;)

[@josecarrera293]

Merci, la tubulure d'admission n'est pas d'origine, .. sinon ce serait en plastoc moche. le gain .. je n'ai pas la puissance actuelle, mais ca avance plus fort, largement devant une GTA d'origine car ça respire mieux, aucun étouffement.

[@doiarsinvest]

Cool

[@victorh5682]

Joli reconstruction, sa pas étai dur de remettre la couroi de distri. Normalement il faut pas replacé les goujons des culasses ?

[@radicaldoasfalto]

Fantástico

[@MechaNick_]

Hey, is the short shifter novitec also availble for the 166 busso?

[@eb3204]

Very nice video, I copied a lot for my engine overhaul. where did you buy the lower red radiator hose?

[@josecarrera293]

Hi, thanks, I bpught the hose kit (silicon) from HPR .. High Power Racing.

[@gt29bzh97]

Super travail ! Ça coûte combien pour faire une restauration comme celle-ci ? (Pièces et MO?)

[@JoseFurieux]

Salut, merci .. environ 3500€ de pièces + rectif en faisant des compromis prix/qualité des pièces (je n'ai pas acheté les moins cher mais pas forcément les plus cher non plus), et pour les rectifs : volant moteur + culasses avec épreuve. Bien sûr tout ça si les organes principaux internes du moteur sont nickel ... Pour la MO, discuter avec le mécano (voir mail dans la description) ... ;)

[@gt29bzh97]

Merci de ta réponse :) Tu comptes le plénum carbone dans les pièces ? Tu va la passée au banc de puissance pour voir si elle tourne mieux qu'avant ? ;-)

[@JoseFurieux]

Non pas du tout, la prépa était présente déjà .. plénum, papillon, tubulure inox, silicone, etc ... et reprog. Et oui je vais la passer, mais il faut attendre qu'elle soit libérée. La je dois avoir dans les 3300km de fait.. J'ai le temps .. Sinon elle tourne mieux, plus stable au ralenti, plus propre au niveau son, etc .. elle se libère doucement : après 2000km effectués, j'ai senti une différence. Je ferai quelques mesures avec un outil connecté du genre 0-100 et le 400m ...

[@totoallatta2579]

Bonjour, alors,ça donne quoi au niveau performances ?

[@silentosu]

Hi! Can you provide the diameter of all O-rings from 12:46?

[@augustaiello5757]

Nice work!!! Do you know where I can find a 3.2L 24V V6 engine? Or even just a crankshaft

[@josecarrera293]

Agostino aiello hello thanks i don t know... i just know it a nightmare to find a cranckshaft

[@augustaiello5757]

José Carrera I know I have been searching a long time and still nothing

[@davidvarela8739]

Do you think it would be possible to put a 3.2 gta in a 159 or brera? mmh, the aacc odometer rev counter door locks ...won t work ... .or would?

[@josecarrera293]

hello.. i dont know anything on this

[@ArturR1975]

How hard to tighten the front crankcase cover in Newton meters at 7:14 minutes in the video.

[@josecarrera293]

sorry.. don t know. didn t made the job

[@Moriggia]

Hello, compliments, now the gears are harder to put in?

[@josecarrera293]

Hello, not so much, quite easy and quick to change gears... it's only an habit to take.

[@robertomusi1730]

Hello, do you have OEM or sport camshafts? Do you know OEM cam timing? If yes, may you write me? It should be a little different from 3.0 on intake only. I'm checking a 3.2 engine now.

[@josecarrera293]

Roberto Musi hello oem ones. ... and i don t know as I m not mechanic .. the email of tge guy who made this job is in the text of the video ;)

[@lkr8013]

What's the song at the beginning to 3:20 mins? Thanks

[@ricardomercuri9895]

Hola soy de argentina cuanto cuesta un trabajo así ? ,gracias

[@josecarrera293]

Hello, It depends on where and who will make the job .. I think in an alfa shop, it will cost a lot like around 10/12000 Euro.. if you find a guy passioned by this engine, perhaps less like 6/7000euros (near of what i've paid)

[@dorcel971]

Bonjour je voudrais vous poser quelques questions ou puis je vous joindre ?

[@josecarrera293]

Bonjour, voir le texte de la vidéo svp ....

[@AleChemist23]

Edge 10W60 is too thick I use 0W40 and its a charm ;)

[@jejelom3320]

J'aimerais bocoup te confier la mienne pour une réfection moteur je c'est pas si ta fait Sa pour le plaisir personnelle ou si tu est un professionnel

[@josecarrera293]

Salut, il vaut mieux pas me confier de mécanique à faire .... lit plutôt le commentaire de la vidéo.

[@jejelom3320]

C'est à dire faut envoyé un mail.?

[@veki1982]

Great great job, only thing i would like different is less colours. Red, black and chrome would do a job, real italian style. This way, with i dont know, 8 different colours or so is little ricey in my opinion. But hey, your car your taste and i respect that. But that throtle body and plenum, uhhhh pure sex.

[@josecarrera293]

Hi Thanks for the mechanic, he worked quite a few days on it. Yes, colours are a personal choice like the exhaust for the sound !

[@rexpontiusful]

Great work!! looks very similar to my recent project: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHK1eHqJftGFgqc And I see you also have a Maserati :-) (I have a 3200 gt as well)

[@zhugecyr1]

Meilleur moteur ever tellement mélodieux et beau :D en tout cas bravo au mécano !!!
