Alfa Romeo Camshaft Timing and Installation

Included in this document is a cam-timing template. Follow the instructions for the template to check the timing marks on the front camshaft bearing caps. If necessary, scribe new timing marks onto the cam caps.
To install the camshafts, start by putting the engine to Top Dead Center (TDC) - #1 cylinder. TDC #1 is when the #1 cylinder piston is at the top of it’s stroke, and the #1 camshaft lobes are pointing to the outside of the engine (intake lobe pointing toward the intake manifold, exhaust lobe to the exhaust manifold). TDC is the “P” mark on the crankshaft pulley. Make sure the timing pointer on your engine is really pointing to TDC. It is best to use a TDC gauge to check this. Adjust the pointer if necessary. Remove the original camshafts following the instructions in your Alfa shop manual. Transfer the two camshaft sprockets to the new cams to be installed. Inspect the cam followers for wear. If there are any irregularities or crazing on the tappet surface (where the lobe hits), replace the tappets.

If the cylinder head is on the bench, install the cams and adjust the valves before installing the head onto your car. Be aware that when the cams are installed open valves will extend below the surface of the head. Do not lay the head down on its surface, as valves will be bent.

Lubricate the camshafts journals, lobes, and cam followers liberally. Do not turn the cams dry for any reason. If necessary, the cam journals can be cleaned up with some emery cloth and your thumb
.
If the head is on the car, after disconnecting the timing chain, turn the crankshaft counterclockwise 90 degrees to get plenty of valve-to-piston clearance. Now you can remove and replace the cams, as well as turn each cam independently for ease of valve adjustment, without hitting a piston with a valve. After the valves are adjusted, line the cams up with the timing marks on the cam caps. Turn the crankshaft clockwise to TDC. Following the instruction in your shop manual, adjust the camshaft timing and chain tension, tighten the cam nuts, and install the small bolts and lock nuts.

New GTV And Spider Buyers Guide

This article covers the Alfa Romeo GTV andSpider models launched in 1995, whichremained in production until 2005. The Pininfarina design was bold at the time and stilllooks fresh today. Both models shared the samefront end and there was some mechanical partcommonality with the 155, which was based looselyaround Fiat Tempra underpinnings. Although Alfa had produced front wheel drive cars since the 1972 Alfasud, these were the firstcoupe and spider models so equipped. With theprevious Alfetta GTV having been out of productionsince 1986 and the Series 4 Spider since 1992 therewere no immediate predecessors to compare with.However initial reaction was very favourable withboth models receiving tempered praise in themotoring press (remember this was the time whenAlfa were still recovering and sales were very poor).

Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2 0 GTV

ALFA ROMEO ALFETTA 2.0 GTV The sleek styling of the Alfetta GTV by ItalDesign was especially appealing and evocative. The comparatively light weight ensured the GTV drove as an Alfa should, and the handling was especially well balanced. A welcome feature was the tailgate, which gave enhanced practicality to the design, and in 2-litre guise the GTV was capable of 120mph along with vivid acceleration – 0-60mph coming up in 9.8 seconds.

Alfa Romeo 156

YOU'VE GOT TO HAND IT TO ALFA! IN A home market that sells less than two per cent of cars with an automatic gearbox, its sporting 156 and 166 saloons offer no less than three different “dual mode” transmissions. Alfa is determined, it seems, to convinceenthusiaststhattheycanhavetheircakeandeatit . The 166’s Sportronic is a normal torque converter automatic with a manual, sequential-shift override alongside. Then there’s Q-system – another conventional four-speed automatic, this time with a manual H-pattern gate offset to one side of the D. Last, but by no means least, Selespeed is effectively a regular five-speed manual, but without the clutch pedal. It not only offers self-shifting gears to ease the burden in suburban snarl-ups, but ices the cake for boy-racers with Formula One-style, thumb-operated gearshift buttons on the steering wheel. So now we can all play at being Michael Schumacher.
