Longtime viewer here from Italy. "Revisione completa motore" literally means "complete engine check". It doesn't mean overhaul. It's just a superficial check of the engine. Usually things like spark plugs, coils, fluid levels, filters etc are checked, but nothing too involved. Hope this clears things up, and keep up the good work!

Heyho, as a ex Maserati Mechanic I can tell that the low pressure and also loud ticking noises from the high pressure pumps are very normal. I can bet you called Ulrich Frankfurt for Spare Parts? And the cars had many problems with the rear differential (mostly M157 Ghibli 3.0 Diesel) so a regular oil change is the way to go. You need to use Shell 75W90 S5 please and sometimes the rear axle get cracks on the welding points so watch out for them, one way to check them is to put the car into D while it is on the lift and step on the gas and brake at the same time. That's how it's easy to check the ball joints and the axle itself. Also the driving shaft needs to be recalibrated with weights if the vibrations are to hard. Keep up the great work

Sreten, three years ago when I first my first video on your channel (Project Marseille part 1) I honestly thought " Who the hell is this guy in sweat pants a side garage and a worn out BMW? This is probably not going to be good".,,, Well, I have watched every video since then. My favorite was Project Salt Lake with Jason Cammisa simply because the footage include my hometown and roads and offramps which I traveled hundreds of times in my youth. What your are doing is so inspiring, I told myself to refrain from sending a message to Andy Bovensiepen at Alpina that they consider giving you one of their used engine stands. Now, I always hit the thumbs up even before the video ever starts because I know the quality of what I am about to see. Please know, many viewers like myself appreciate how difficult it is to produce a quality video. We are so appreciative of your skills as a mechanic, your choice of commentary, which is a perfect balance of technical, not over explaining, product/people endorsements, humor and frustrations. The video angles, content and the editing choices(If you have assistance, cheers to them) are fantastic. The overall production value and content is far superior to any commercial automotive tv production. Sincerely Shannon

Another brilliant episode, totally absorbing beginning to end.

Probably more time than the actual wrenching. 😊

not really. it had oil changes every 20 to 25.000km... ideal is 10-15.000

@@suli687Doesn't seem to matter to change oil every 20-25k in this case since the engine was so clean and survived over 300,000km.

@@suli687i guess the previous owner did self oil change in between those. Or else it's really is robust motor and very good oil

If you mainly drive on the highway, 20-25k km intervals are fine! VW even advises 30k intervals for its "long life" schedule

IKR, i was sort of happy to see Sreten struggle with them as well as they are a pain to remove for me too in all the Fiats i have worked on! But in all fairness i have never ever had a leak from that sort of clamp even with cars that have over 300 000 km on them, so when the factory installs them with their special crimping tool they do function as hose clamps really really well in places you do no need to normally touch during the life of the car. When replacing them i have found that on some connections it is actually pretty hard to find a clamp that doesn't leak. Wurth stainless clamps seem to be the ones i have had the best luck with. But yea they are a weird design if you need to remove them, but as hose clamps they are EXCELLENT.

Even my '09 Punto has them on the intercooler hoses. Only way to remove them is braking them and can't reuse them after. Replaced all of them with some quality worm type clamps.

Happy Honeymoon Sreten! Love your humour, as well as your attention to detail, I have watched all of your videos and I know this is a Maserati rebuild, but as an owner of an E46 & E92 M3 and also being a Maserati fan, this is pure gold. Once again 11 out of 10 brother
