Alfa Romeo GTV Rocker Cover & Intake Manifold Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- I found this 20-year-old Alfa Romeo GTV V6 engine rocker cover and intake manifold very cheap and thought it would make a perfect restoration project. This is one of the dirtiest, most burnt on and badly cast rocker covers I have come across. Making it an ideal candidate for a Restoration video.
Very good job, better than the original, worth even to restore the smallest screw of this legend. I love Alfa Romeo.
Even though it’s not the original layout it’s still looks awesome 👏🏻
Looks great. Aluminum dissipates heat great. We were taught that using paint and polish can inadvertently cause it to retain heat worse than cast iron sometimes. Especially on smaller and air-cooled engines.
Considering that the V6 24V has a cold air intake, heat dissipation isn't really an issue there.
The valve cover of this engine was offered by Alfa in different finishes over the years from silver, to crackle black, to red, to "bare" aluminium, even the "bare" finish had a clear coat on it.
I don't know what the heat dissipation coefficient of an unpainted aluminium valve cover is, but if that's the last thing standing between you and overheating an engine with water and oil cooling, your engineering isn't very good.
Air cooled engines aren't really air cooled, they are primarily cooled by oil and then by the airflow over the cylinder barrels.
Interesting approach, looks good in the end
*Awesome restoration, loved the video! Keep it up.*
Thank you! You channel also great!

absolutely cracking job. Puts mine to shame! 😎
you just inspired me to restore the engine bay on my v6 tb
Good job, but I am missing the different products you used as grinding tool, sanding paper roughness, lacquer etc.
Very very good job! Tanks for sharing.
I love videos like this. Keep it up :)
That’s a good video
Restoration is good niche
Nice Job !
Looked better silver with red. Also the bare metal radiates heat better so it improves the air density and performance. Slightly.
I was really hoping he was not going to paint it, but powder it..... I'd be butthurt ordering this if eBay or something if that wasn't disclosed
Awesome job...
Nice job!
For this would look a lot better the vht wrinkle paint
Where are al the restomods and restoratie vids from old cars???
Would look great on the wall of any workshop
The best possible restoration would be an actual restoration, not redesign. 😉But it is beautiful. ❤
Hi, thank you for sharing this. I have an Alfa GTV v6 and would like to do something similar but do not have much experience. Would you mind explaining what tools you used, I noticed the Dremmel but was unsure about the various discs used. What was on the Yellow bench tool and also on the angle grinder please? I assume paints were primer, VHT red gloss then a lacquer? Thx
you don't want to sell it by chance? Awesome job!!
En mi coche lo tengo idéntico, hasta el proceso fue casi igual
Awesome job. Left handers unite. Lol.
Just sandblast them and your off..... easier
Last frame showing complete engine - that are not covers being painted in this video :D
This wasn't a restoration, it was nothing more than a cleanup and paint, though it still looks good.
👌
Perfect thanks bro.
NICE NICE!
Snyggt!
I don t use tank type 69 very exist.
🤗
removing the part material with a grinder is hardly restoration.
مرحبا مليون مرحبا كيف حالك
было лучше
I hope the paint skills have improved
Nice Joob !
hmm
