Sorry to butt in , but perhaps it might be an idea to get someone local to show you the ropes , it might save you lots of money and then you will know a next time. If I was near I would show you , no trouble , is anyone close to help?

When you set the cam belt tensioner there is a hole for a 8 mm pin to set the tension! Correct me if I'm wrong, but thats the way I did it on my other Allfa & that tuned out ok.

I hope to get it right in the end as I have a whole spare car to get the parts off
