Alfa Romeo GTV Rocker Cover & Intake Manifold Restoration

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.

Even though it’s not the original layout it’s still looks awesome 👏🏻

[@jamesmurphy1389]

absolutely cracking job. Puts mine to shame! 😎

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.

I love videos like this. Keep it up :)

[@mikav9241]

you just inspired me to restore the engine bay on my v6 tb

[@fadigharib232]

Very good job, better than the original, worth even to restore the smallest screw of this legend. I love Alfa Romeo.

[@MrOlcaymeral]

Very very good job! Tanks for sharing.

Nice Job !

[@Goc67]

Good job, but I am missing the different products you used as grinding tool, sanding paper roughness, lacquer etc.

[@XavierAncarno]

That’s a good video
Restoration is good niche

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

[@alfistiadventures9369]

Nice job!

[@rembertomartinez4457]

Awesome job...

[@tzsteve33]

Would look great on the wall of any workshop

[@Wasatchmodelworks]

Looked better silver with red. Also the bare metal radiates heat better so it improves the air density and performance. Slightly.

[@aitortilla7250]

For this would look a lot better the vht wrinkle paint

[@killroy2993]

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

[@machettekillsagain1]

Nice Joob !

[@ForestForever-bl5fz]

you don't want to sell it by chance? Awesome job!!

[@antonioheras9326]

En mi coche lo tengo idéntico, hasta el proceso fue casi igual

[@TheRealBootyWarrior]

I hope the paint skills have improved

[@tjitsewenselaar5874]

[@GOAT86STUDIO]

[@niklasstrand9010]

Snyggt!

[@MrOlcaymeral]

Perfect thanks bro.

[@jakubkrcma]

The best possible restoration would be an actual restoration, not redesign. 😉But it is beautiful. ❤

[@razor0razor]

Last frame showing complete engine - that are not covers being painted in this video :D

[@davidclifton6666]

This wasn't a restoration, it was nothing more than a cleanup and paint, though it still looks good.

[@szymon6207]

I don t use tank type 69 very exist.

[@bertdejesus3578]

Just sandblast them and your off..... easier

[@Thistasteslikeass]

hmm

[@youssefmunchen1091]

مرحبا مليون مرحبا كيف حالك

[@idrisurusov9933]

было лучше

[@johnovegas]

removing the part material with a grinder is hardly restoration.
