I'm thinking about upgrading to girling calipers.

I just wondering How did you line up Girling caliper with 164 Disk.
I think that size of 164 Front disk is D284xH44xT22 I think and GTV6 disk size is D268xH51xT22.

Did you use spacer between spindle and calipers?

Thanks.

Heads were taken off yesterday and very disappointed with condition of engine. Head gaskets had large holes and I found extensive rust damages on cylinder sleeves and even on alloy heads. I just wish that people would not sell engine like this to anyone at any price. This engine is just trashed and ...

Mjr, I reckon 3.0Lmotor was out of car around Feb this year and kept in garage since. I went to his workshop and he showed me the compression test result from his equipment, It is little tag(3cm X 4cm) showing compressions of each cylinder marked with ballpoint pen. My mechanic did not start engine....

David,

Have I bought wrong engine then? So you are saying it is likely that I bought an engine with bent valves.

Well, I know I’m screwed. You don’t have to mention that. I just need to know that whether it is possible to turn engine to TDC(P mark at crankshaft pulley) and redo cam timing if you have bent valves in your engine. After correcting cam timing, you can turn engine freely without hitting valves if y...

I need help!!! I’ve recently bought 3.0L engine for engine swap for my 85 GTV6(2.5L). The seller told me that engine is from MY1990, 75 and took it out of running car when 163.000km I took it to local Alfa workshop for engine swap. Nextday owner of workshop call me and said that he suspect most of v...

Has anyone try this product? I've found this AMETECH ENGINE RESTORE OIL on ebay. I am always VERY sceptical of these "MAGIC POTIONS" where the manufacurer claims all sorts of things. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ALFA-LANCIA-ENGINE-RESTORE-OIL-RECONDITIONING_W0QQitemZ8051566390QQcategoryZ10370QQ...

Thanks MD, Tim, Scott, As MD said, clutch is geting little better day by day. I managed to drive to my office yesterday(I had to pump a pedal before I shift) and a bit better this mornnig. I will wait a few more days and see that I need to bleed clutch system. I've find DP and Greg's method very int...

Thanks MD, I use a hose with non return valve attached and my wife is helpping me to operate pedal. Make sure your bleeder valve is in an upright position so as to release air bubbles that surface to the top. How do I make bleeder valve is in an upright position?? Do I have to release two bolts whic...

Last week, I've changed brake and clutch fuild(85 GTV6 with TS gearbox). I managed to bleed brake all right. It is firm and improved pedal travel a lot. However I could not get the clutch right. I bleed and bleed, no air is coming out but the pressure is only starting to build up about halfway of pe...

This is for my daily drive. My office is less than 10min away from home. Are you saying I better stick to standard ATE pads?

My local(canberra) club member recommend me a Lucas pads for everyday driving.

Thanks.

Last saturday, I went to buy set of ferodo DS2000 for 85 GTV6 but I could't find the ferodo DS2000. Local auto shop(Repco) did't know about DS2000. They do have Brake pads in Exel and Formula TS2000 series. This is a description of Formula TS2000 series. Club sport and high performance applications....

Thanks Barry and Micke for clearring that up. I just bought a new pair of front brake pad. I could't find the ferodo DS2000 in Australia. they don't know about DS2000. They do have them in Exel series. They recommends lucas brake pads. they say it's better than Ferodo. So I bought Lucas brake pads. ...

Barry,

Thanks Barry. I will take my car to local brake specialist tomorrow to refit a Proportional valve. But I will keep 25mm MC and start look for 4 pots calipers on ebay. I've read about so many brake upgrade in this forum. which upgrade is the most bolt on upgrade which required less modification? Mayb...
