The car is running smoothly now but I haven't redlined it yet.

Here's my GTV6 with vintage RIAL 7x15 rims. These rims were originally installed by Alfa Romeo on "Grand Prix" versions for the German market.

My GTV6 is on the road again. The engine seems to run smoothly and regularly so apparently the almost complete rebuild has worked. After 1000 kms of "break in" I will be able to tell something more re: performance above 3000 rpm. A rebuilt alternator has been installed too (85A, Bosch, fro...

that's crazyness..... but i don't know of any production 2.0 Farrari's ???(except in the 1950's) RZ: save those 2.5 and 3.0 parts and sell them to IAP Ferrari 208 GTB and 208 Turbo (same performance as the 308 GTB). Very popular in Italy even nowadays as they can be bought easily (40,000 euro or so...

That has something to do with taxes. In italy you pay(ed?) a great sum of taxes if your car is over 2.0 litres of engine capacity. this is the reason there aren't that much 2.5/3.0v6 driven cars in Italy. To escape this ridiculous taxrule most manufacturers made 2.0Turbo engines, hence the 164 2.0V...

Lucio: are there many parts for the 3.0L 12v's in Italy...or are they hard to find....... 2.5's (like mine) and 3.0's are extremely rare here in Italy. For this reason I'm buying parts from the USA, funny as it may seem. No idea about the problem. For sure the valves seals were bad and so the valve...

Here they are...

Dear friends, just cool pics for you to enjoy my V6, dismantled and rebuilt almost integrally...you might remember it was running irregularly. New Jetronic, AFM, fuel pressure regulator didn't help so I decided to have it examined deeply inside its heart. New KingsBorne (RED!) spark plugs wires are ...

Thanks

I'm interested in retrieving this info as well.
Could anyone post the Bosch part number of alternators that fit?

Thanks

Dear friends,
I desperately need a complete set of piston rings for rebuilding my 2.5 V6 (GTV6 1981). It seems these are out of stock in Italy and so they appear on the IAP online catalogue.
Could you point me to a fast and reliable source for these?

Thanks
Lucio

[NOW SOLD!] -------------- Dear friends I have a set of 4 RIAL hubcaps for RIAL wheels (often found on GTV6's), NEW UNUSED, still with their protective film. External size 63.5 mm, internal size 61.5 mm. Reason for sale, they don't fit in my RIAL wheels (a couple of millimeters of difference!). They...

Lucio, What are the problem symptoms your car is having exactly? It sounds like the NTC (temperature sensor) may be faulty. This is the one that tells the ECU what the coolant temp is; not to be confused with the temperature guage sender. This can easily ne checked with an ohm meter. Read it cold a...
