Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

Hello guys, @Pinino: Thank you for the link, I will go through it. However it was not misbehaving like this before we removed part of the electric wiring for engine during the engine removal-insert. So I rather suspect loose connecion somewhere. So far I tried to disconnect and clean all cable conne...

It's alive! After 1 year, 2 months and 13 days it has finally returned (so far unoficially as it has to pass MOT) on roads :) 102_7928.JPG Driven around 80km and it's working... fingers crossed. Just have to sort out some bug with speedometer/RPM dial - http://alfaromeo164register.com/viewtopic.php?...

Hello guys, So my car is finally running (did 80km so far) but still have one thing to sort out - both speedometer and RPM meter are "bouncing": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3CK735u28Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I suspect some groundin point issues (cleaned ignition coil cont...

Seems so - bellow is the picture of one soare valve I have with locks correctly in place and shim on the top. As you can see there's gal between lock and shim (1mm - I know, I have exagerated a bit with those 3-5mm :D but still if valve is shortened by 0.4mm (definetely not more then that) there is ...

I did not shorten the shim edges, but! the one I used had quite short edges anyway and between them and locks were roughly 3-5mm of space so I don't believe it could move that much... I shortened it by approximately 0,4mm (before I had clearance 0,25mm with 1,68mm shim, no I have 0,4mm with 1,9mm sh...

Yeah, that's the thing - I also had my valve seats grinded and after that on one valve I could not fit in tolerance (after recommendation I went for a 0.400mm clearance on intakes) with the 1.700mm shims. I had one done to 1.600mm but it was still not good and I did not want to go with to thin shims...

Really nice report! And great to see that even in such remote parts of the world (meaning far from Italy ) spirit of 164s still lives

Yep, I bought those :) And finaly I have some update - I was delayed by several things (by move to another place starting and by some guy in Alfa stock not been able to send correct pads (the one for adjusting intake valve clearance - I needed the smallest one - 1,700mm, it was possible to order the...

This should be viewable only after 22pm Great job

Problem here will be that in US there will be zero 164s with TS engine

Thanks for the tip, will buy some today

Indeed they do :D Small progress again - except for oil pan the bottom is done - all cleaned and put in new Glyco STD crankshaft and conrod bearings, new simerings and linner's seals. Unfortunately I just don't have such nice pictures and it's not done as thoroughly as in case of Killergame's 164 :o...

I have sent you an email

This is awesome Shame I live so far, I would definitely come to have a look too

The heads are finally back - resurfaced, re-grinded valve seats, new bronze valve guides, cleaned old exhaust valves and leaped in, leaped in new intake valves, pressure test done. rear_head_repaired.jpg front_head_repaired.jpg Besides that arrived new middle exhaust silencer and some pipes. Also I ...

What's the OEM number of it? Can't find it anywhere... Have you tried it here? http://www.recamvall.com/tienda/producto.jsp?id_categoria=4175&id_subcategoria=27707&id_producto=199252&id_grupo=0&pagina=10&inicio_aplicacion=1&familia=BOSCH&categoria=BOSCH&subfamilia=VAR33&subcategoria=SUBFAMILIA%20DE%...

Hi guys!
Looking for a new/used but not broken cover for engine coil for my TB. Part number 60576200. This is how mine looks like Or are you aware of some universal part?

Some new stuff just arrived - new intake valves, valve seals, knock sensor, some piping... And did some cleaning (not 100% but still better then it was )...

Depends which one you want - there were multiple variants installed. And if for Super or pre-facelift. For example here is US version available: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alfa-Romeo-164-1993-Radio-Audio-176021/401425243191?hash=item5d76cf1c37:g:w4gAAOSwR2RaBsz6&vxp=mtr" onclick="window.open(this.href...

And it's finally here:

Thanks guys :) Again small steps further, cleaning of oil pan + pump: cisteni_vany.jpg olejova_pumpa.jpg Also bushings for engine upper mount finaly arrived so I have complete new engine mounting prepared: nove_ulozeni_motoru.jpg And I have ordered new camshaft for front (left) head - I have already...

Welcome! Which V6 do you have in your car? 12v, 12v turbo, 24v?

Small but at least some progress: New heart ready to be worked on...

Why did you mounted them on the roof? But it's very nice indeed

Merry Christmas and all the best into the new year
