1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The 1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal carried forward the tradition of Italian grand touring excellence that defined this exceptional model. Alfa Romeo commitment to the Montreal as a no-compromise sports GT was evident in every component from the Tipo 33 racing-derived V8 powerplant to the hand-finished Bertone body panels. The 2593 cc all-aluminum V8 with its DOHC per bank configuration and Spica mechanical fuel injection continued to deliver power and refinement that few contemporaries could match. Alfa Romeo racing division experience with the Type 33 prototype directly influenced the Montreal engine architecture including the compact ninety-degree V angle dry-sump lubrication for reliable high-G cornering oiling and the sophisticated mechanical injection system. The chassis featured fully independent double-wishbone front suspension with a de Dion rear tube ensuring that all four wheels maintained optimal contact regardless of road surface. Inside the Montreal the cabin blended Italian leather craftsmanship with clear instrumentation providing an environment suited to continental touring.
SERVICE AND REPAIR SCOPE:
- V8 engine block inspection deck flatness check align-honing
- Main bearing shell selection clearance measurement with Plastigauge
- Connecting rod piston assembly ring orientation pin fit
- Crankshaft end float measurement thrust washer selection
- DOHC cylinder head removal cam carrier separation
- Valve seat reconditioning three-angle cut procedure
- Cam lobe lift measurement journal diameter check
- Cam chain tensioner piston replacement guide rail fit
- Spica injection pump delivery volume test timing verification
- Injector feed pipe torque specification leak inspection
- Dry-sump scavenge and pressure pump gear measurement
- Oil thermostat and pressure sender calibration
