Ouch.  Sorry to hear that, but hopefully the valves are ok.

If I may ask, what (de)tensioner are you using?

Subject: Re: [alfa] GTV-6 engine problem

I came home from work on a flatbed, and the timing belt has definitely jumped a 
couple teeth.  But it couldn't be a simple matter of the crank pulley having 
slipped, wherein I could just lock down the cams and put enough force on it to 
skip the other direction.  The right cam was retarded one tooth, but the left 
cam is retarded at least two, so I guess I'm going to have to totally re-fit 
the timing belt before I can determine whether or not there's been internal 
engine damage.  Which means driving the Porsche 928 to work tomorrow with a 
couple inches more snow predicted; that should be interesting.

Thanks again,
Joe Elliott
