having spent many years building all sorts of weird engines i was
finnaly asked by a mate to sort his alfa gtv 2.0 ts 16v (1997)
the cam belt had failed
7 inlet valves, 3 followers and a head set later the cambelt now has
to be replaced
first the tensioner seems very small and there are lots of bits of
broken plastic gear in the cover- are these related?
do the marks on the belt correspond to th marks on the pulleys?
how do you set the timing on the balancer?
this engine is a complete pain in the arse to work on and acess is a
nightmare – all thoughts greatfully recieved
