Head Gasket Replacement Issues!!!

I hope someone can help me here, because I am at a complete loss. I finally decided I've had enough with the water leaks around the heads and decided to go ahead and replace both head gaskets. Before I proceeded, I checked the timing alignment and noted that the P mark on the crankshaft was perfectl...

tensioner part view diagram

Hi all,

I'm rebuilding my hydraulic tensioner. In the rebuild kit I seem to have more seals then I know what to do with.

Does anyone have an exploded or part listing view of the hydraulic tensioner which would give me a clue as to where all the seals go.

Thanks,

Marco

Wanted Alfa 90 2.5/ GTV6 2.5 exhaust header

Does any one in the Sydney, Australia area have a right side exhuast header for a GVV6 2.5 that they want to sell?

Jose_76 To get your 3 wire set to work with your amplier I would do the following. Connect a 12V supply from the ignition to the amplifier DC supply input. All the wiring should be present under the rear seat of your car. Jumper the 12V supply from the amplifier to the 12V input to the three wire se...

Coach, O.K It looks like your speedometer and amplifier are fine since this has been verified to work in a different car. Your mechanic has tested 3 speedometer sensors same result. I can only conclude something has gone wrong with the wiring and an intermittent ground is the most likely cause. I am...

Final note:

The original fuel pump s/n: 0 580 464 020
is now replaced by the bosch universal fuel pump 0 580 464 070 which is sufficient for any stock Fuel injected 2.5L V6

IT LIVES!!! Put the new fuel pump in, checked operation, started her up and away she went. Measured the voltage at the terminals and got 10.8 V for a current of (11.9-10.8') / ~1Ohm = 1.1A where 11.9 is the voltage measured at the battery terminals when the car is not running and ~1 Ohm is the estim...

MD, I'll take a look at the volvo pumps. new bosch fuel pumps for Alfa GTV's, 75 and 90's are going for $160.00Aud, which really is not that bad after comparing to U.S prices which are about the same in U.S currency. So they are actually cheaper here. I'm actually going to go with a used unit for $2...

FYI Made the following measurements No load voltage at battery terminals: 12.3 V Loaded battery voltage: 11.6V Resistance of jumper leads from battery to fuel pump: 0.6 Ohms Voltage measured at fuel pump: 7.41V Current to fuel pump = (11.6 - 7.41) / 0.6 = 7.98A So the fuel pump in the "stuck&qu...

Hi Dave, Good point. I will measure the fp terminal resistance. also I will measure the voltage at the battery terminals themselves. If it remains at approximately 12V then I know there is a signficant voltage drop accross the jumper wires I am using. I'll also measure the current. My new fuel pump ...

Steve, thanks for the clarification. It definitely is the fuel pump. I connected 12V directly to the pump and you can hear it click but not run. I think I have to check my ears because yesterday it sounded like it ran. This explains why I am not seeing any fuel at the regulator. Measuring the voltag...

Hi shures, thanks for the reply. Just checked the pump. There is voltage at the pump, and I can hear the pump whirring (very quietly). However, when I dissconnect the fuel feed (This is the fuel line feed directly in front of the plenum) I see no fuel comming out. Am I checking the wrong fuel hose? ...

Fuel Pump

Hi, the Alfa 90 just died yesterday. It ran in the morning and then my wife could not restart it. I believe it is the fuel pump. Following the suggestions previous post's on the topic in the old forum, I dissconnected the AFM from the rubber intake, turned on the ignition and depressed the vane insi...
