Could someone please tell me if it is possible to hoist the engine out of a 1989 33 1.7 carb from above, leaving the gearbox in place. Or, do you have to lower...
Gary There have been reported cases of people being able to lift them out from above but unless you are into self-punishment, save yourself the grief and drop...
G'day Alfisti, I'm organising a group of Sydney Alfisti to get together every now and again to take their Alfas for a spin in the country. If you live in or...
Gary, I have never tried hoisting the engine out from the top, but my impression would be that you couldn't do it. I've removed several boxer engines and it ...
I removed an engine and gearbox complete from above a couple of years ago when I couldn't get a front crossmember off. I had to get the front of the car...
... impression would be that you couldn't do it. I've removed several boxer engines and it isn't hard from underneath.<< Afriend has done this on Suds many...
Hi, i'm the new owner of an alfa sprint 1987. The 1.5 engine has been replaced by a 1.7 from a alfa 33 (I think), and it has also been modified to fuel ...
I have removed my sprint engine several times, because its a race car. First time I do it from abobe, but take in count that the engine eas first semi...
Jason, The only thing I can suggest is to buy the Haynes manual for the Alfasud which has a supplement for the Sprint. Your Sprint will have the later running...
Has anybody else found that even with cold oil, and after you have pulled the dipstick once, wiped it, replaced it and pulled it again, that some oil gets...
... After a while you tend to find that you learn to hold the dipstick the right way when you insert it the second time. Difficult to explain. Just takes...
Dear all Quick (and silly) question Does anybody know off the top of their head what size allen key bolt is used in a 1987 Sprint sump plug. I went to change...

Speedo cable isn't working. I need specific info on the device that drives the speedo cable and is situated in the gearbox housing. Could you pleaaase help,...
Nowhere near my car at the moment, but sometimes cable pops out of speedo drive on gearbox (near right hand brake caliper - assuming inboard brakes). It's held...
Hi folks. I'm just about to replace the pads on my girlfriend's 33 but I'm used to working on older cars ('63 AH Sprite). How do you get the pads out, I'm used...
Hi With most 33 calipers you remove the whole unit to change the pads. Once it is off you can remove the hydraulic unit from the carrier (you dont need to...
Hi Guys, I have re-entered the Alfa ownership and bought a series 2 33 (previously owned a Sud). Anyway, the car had a blown head gasket when I bought it and I...
Cheers for that. The car has Lockheed calipers. In the end I took the hydraulic unit off the carrier to do it and took the opportunity to lubricate the pins...
Speaking of head gaskets, how easy are they to change on a 16V engine? Anyone interested in my 1991H 33 P4? MOT just run out, but no reason why it shouldn't...
... shafts. It looks like it is as simple as undoing the hex cap screws and the CV drive shaft will just drop down and the gearbox can come out, but that...
Hi Alfa seemed to use loads of different calipers on the 33. The 1.3 series 3 I have is the only car that uses its front caliper, and it was never imported to...
... << Nightmare! I drove my P4 through a deep puddle and blew a head gasket (amoung other damage). In theory it is possible on a 16V to get the heads off with...
Yes I was offered the choice of two different bendix pads, and two lucas as well as the girling and that was even specifying exact model and year. Yup it's...
Guys, I have almost got the engine out and am starting to rebuild the head. The question I have is once I assemble the head and the camshaft carrier and...
Hi Which pads did you go for? I think the Bendix pads are what Alfa used originally. Most of the time I have been quite happy with the Mintex pads. They seem...
