Engine bay fire

[bteoh]

Just wondering in the event of an engine bay fire on a 3.0 V6 Alfa, would the heads be salvageable? All the plastic and rubber bits have melted (Intake runners and rubber to plenum looks ok) but wasn’t sure if the heads and valves might be ok? Was looking at removing the heads if they were remotely salvageable but didn’t want to waste my time if the general consensus was that the engine is cactus.
Thanks 😊

What did you do!

Pulled front head - looks ok so far. Might be ok to salvage the heads

Hi mate, what was the cause? You must have caught the fire early if the car itself is worth fixing.

My '01 156 V6 had an engine fire caused by leak from the fuel rail back in 2015.

Insurer wrote the car off (took the fireys 4 goes to extinguish it).

No doubt it's been a treasure trove for the wrecker, in terms of  the interior, wheels and panels from the A pillar back.
