Re: alfa-digest V7 #50RE: possible timing belt slippage on hills

[FERDINANDO DI MATTEO <fredalfa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry guys, If your timing belt tensioner is improperly adjusted and
you're worried about the engine in a V-6 turning backwards, DON'T leave
it in gear, it will bend valves going straight ahead sooner or later
when you're far from your favorite mechanic.  Alfa designed the
tensioners so that backwards turning engines will still not allow tooth
skipping.  Fred Di Matteo  AROC Tech Advisor, Fort Myers, Florida 2-
