HOW TO re-tension the head on an Alfa Spider with Giancarlo

Maranello Pur-sang Ep4 - In this video, we're going to show you how to re-tension the head on an Alfa Romeo Spider! This is a project you'll want to do if you have an Alfa Romeo Spider that's overheated and had the head gasket replaced etc.
This video is a step by step guide that will show you how to re-tension the head on your Alfa Romeo Spider. We'll go over the tools you'll need, how to do the re-tensioning, and how to check the results. After watching this video, you'll know how to re-tension the head on your Alfa Romeo Spider!
After an overheating incident the Spider's head was done and now it's back after 500km for Giancarlo to re-tension it and give it a last tune up.
Twice weekly visits to classic auto workshops featuring cars from the veteran to RADwood eras & including car restoration, rebuilds, repairs and restomods to anything from Aussie V8s, American muscle cars, Euro exotics, JDM, your coveted everyday runabout and more. If it's built before 1999, there's every chance I'll film it.
My name is Dave and I simply l love old cars and visiting workshops to chat to the people working on them. Added to that, I devour car content on youtube so I thought I'd join in and make some myself.
Hopefully you might like to come along for the journey as well.

Love those engines but boy they can be a pain sometimes :)

[@davesclassicgaragetours]

The operative word there being "sometimes". As Giancarlo always insists, look after them and they'll look after you.

I love working on these
I love making them perform better more

Great video! thanks for that, any chance you have the torque specs of the head. Both the initial spec and the re-torque spec after 500km?

[@davesclassicgaragetours]

I’ll be heading to MPS later this week and will ask. Pretty sure google will be able to help though
