Flywheel Locking Tool

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       OK, listen up.  Andrew Watry has come up with the PERFECT flywheel 
locking tool.  I have used one when overhauling both the Alfa four cylinder 
and V-6 engines.  I bought mine years ago and vaguely remember it coming in 
an EMPI package.  I sent a picture of mine to Andrew and he confirmed that it 
is the same.  I am going to make a note of the part number in case anyone 
asks in the future.  If you are going to overhaul an Alfa, you need this 
tool!  Thanks, Andrew.
       As far as where to get it, he says, CIP is California Import Parts in 
Vancouver, BC, Canada. Check <A HREF="http://www.cip1.com/";>http://www.cip1.com/</A> Also Rocky Mountain Motor 
Werks, I think, or any VW place. There are tons of them in LA, but I don't 
know about Ok City

Ciao,
