Thanks for making this film series, I am doing exactly the same thing. Have changed valve guides, and am in the process of reassembling the engine now. It is an inspiration to see that I am not the only one doing this. :D
Very nice! I would prepare with WD40 before loosing screws/nuts, usually a big help & protects them from snapping. And maybe you have it already, Jim Kartamalakis fantastic book on the Busso! When fitting the crank, I’ve found the block need to stand on an even surface, not engine stand. Believe it or not, the alu block bends slightly under its own weight! So my crank was sticking until I found this out.
What I like about the V6 engine is that the head studs do not sit in the coolant like the 4 cylinder. Hopefully less stuff to go wrong. My 2.0 4 cyl GTV engine was bad, all studs replaced, very stressful.
Indeed! Perhaps the valve clearance with the bucket shims and push-over rod for the exhaust valves is a bit old fashioned by today's standards. But back then, it was a very modern engine!

Very informative and fun to watch, really enjoying your channel so massive thanks for pulling the episodes together!
I am SO glad i had Worked on a few GTV6 Engines that were NOT dried out and/or Sat around for a LONG Time!!
That's always a better starting position. Let's see if we can rescue this engine from the scrap heap!
@@BackToClassics I truly think the Busso V6 Engine to be one of Alfa Romeo's best Engines. Their Sound during Operation, was intoxicating.
@@ericanderson2987 The best sounding V6 ever!?

Thanks for your comment! Good to hear there are multiple Bussos being revived as these engines truly deserve it. More episodes are coming 😉
Technological archeology! How interstung!
An engine dug up from under multiple layers of dirt! 😂
Very nice!

Thanks for the tips! I have the book by Kartamalakis under my pillow. And I soaked the engine in WD40 weeks in advance before I started working on it

Thanks for your comment! Indeed an improvement in design over the 4 cylinder engine.
I've never seen inside a Busso, it looks like a very modern design for the time.

Thanks, this looks fun!
It sure is! Although the real fun starts when it's time for the actual rebuild.
I bet you dont use Mole Grips on roundcase 750ss engines haha.
In fact I do! Mole grips are great for worn out bolt heads on 750 SS engines 😉
@@BackToClassics Oh no the illusion is shattered, I imagined you Fabios spare tool roll on the bench.......
I did not realise these were SOHC
The earlier Busso are SOHC. The later 24 valve Busso had DOHC.
