[alfa] Re: 24V skipped belt

["Karl Robrock" <robrock@xxxxxxxx>]

Dean,
I would recommend doing things right: replace the belt, tensioner, and
bearings (what is normally done when replacing the timing belt). If you
have lots of oil on the front, you might consider finding the source, as
this may have contributed to your leak. If you get the dies for locking
the cams, replace the cam seals!!!
I'd recommend front main seal too. No point in doing all that work and not
doing what needs to be done. 43mm socket on a 1/2" impact wrench and it
comes right off.
Get the timing belt tensioner tool (you will need this) with your dies. I
got the whole set at a dealership in Milano, but it took a
while to get the tools.... (not the WHOLE set, but tensioner bar, weight,
attachments for t-belt and accessory belts, plus dies). Any dealer should be
able to order it from FIAT.

ciao,

Karl
