Yes, correct - 32 load-cells per 333/500 rpm-range - I think I mentioned that a time or two. So it wasn't the scratched label on the "damaged" GoTech after all :roll: Glad to hear that. :wink: Michael, there is one basic difference between your motor and Chuck's - yours was built from scra...

Hhmmmm... So if I understand you correctly, what you are saying is that with the variations in drillings between units there was an attempt BEFORE installing pulleys and flywheels on the motors to balance all of the flywheels and all of the pulleys to within a prescribed spec before mounting them on...

It's not just the flywheels that were engine-specific - it's the crank-pulleys as well! In another post somewhere I laid out 4 pulleys, took pictures and posted - there were two 3.0 Verde/Americano 3.0 units, one GTV6 2.5 and one Milano/75 2.5 pulley each - THEY WERE ALL DIFFERENT - on the rears and...

...at least listen to the other guys here, if you are not going to follow my advice...!

If the bloody thing starts, then it is NOT defective! Chuck, if you are not going to listen to me, at least follow the advice of others here - they are giving you GOOD advice... This thread is going from the sublime to the ridiculous. :roll: Chuck - we never had access to an AFM at Carlos' "sho...

Piss-drunk on World Cup Rugby... GO SOUTH AFRICA!!!

Any way - re-took the pics - try these... The mark is clearly visible on my screen...

Ignore the "other" manufacturing marks - focus on the one timing mark (that passes all of the way through to the edge...)

Good call - I took some pics, but unfortunately the difference is not clearly vissible with a 5.0 MP camera... I can explain it and call it out in a heart-beat over the phone though -sorry guys! Once you see it, you'll never miss them again... Easy to be out 180 degrees on the crank, but once you ar...

Chuck, have Phil call me - I will tell him EXACTLY what marks to look at!

Two of them are REAL clear and two of them - well - I can see how they could be somewhat of a question for somebody who doesn't have any experience with 24 valve Alfa heads and cams...

YOU DO NOT NEED THE DAMN TOOLS! Besides - the cam timing is PERFECT!

Don't mess with it!

If you want to check my work, by all means - do - use the marks - they are 100% correct!

Have Phil call me with the covers off, the crank set on the TDC mark and a flash-light in hand!

It's not in the cams - it's in the fueling but without an air/fuel-ratio meter, you're just guessing! I never had access to one down there and I was going to just bring one from Group 2 down with me on the next trip (which - as you know - never happened...) "Phil" needs to get one and plug...

Leave the TPS alone - you don't need it with a single throttle - far away from the intake on a naturally aspirated car. Leave the GoTech on MAP - it will work 100%. Set the idle using the idle-set screw. Period. Line the cam marks up with the flat surfaces of the head INSIDE each set of cams (on eac...

Once the Alfa started again we were able to get the Alfa to finally idle (don't really know how) but the Alfa runs poorly according to Phil. I suspect that "Phil" got the car to idle by turning the idle set screw (that I told you would be there) up - on throttle-body - to hold the throttl...

Barry is right, you don't need cam timing "tools" - there are marks on the cams to line-up with the heads and it is super accurate!

Besides, the cam timing on that motor is perfect, I wouldn't suggest screwing with it. The GoTech needs to be tuned right now.

The Swedes have a team - they slice the oranges for half-time...

Change the solenoid - you still have your old one on the new rebuilt starter. Install the new rebuilt solenoid that I sent down!
