Hi Alfa Lovers

I'm in need of some assistance to allow me to remove the cylinder head of a alfa romeo 147 twin spark, 2001.

Could anyone, please send me some instructions or a how to guide. I would highly appreciate any help. I am looking for some advice/instructions on the valve time settings as well.

Thank you.

It will be very similar to this: http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa...win-spark-head-removal-post-belt-failure.html

Thank you very much for the link, it will be truly helpful.

Do you know what the valve timing marks or settings will be?

Thanking you in advance.

You need a set of cam locks, and some way of finding TDC. Ideally a gauge...

yep what iainfm said. Cam locks, belt tensioner and a gauge really at a minimum

Thanks to everyone who helped on my question.

Car is now starting up but the following problems are occuring:
There is very little, i mean very little power
The car does idle, but there is a slight misfire
If the car idles for longer than 15 minutes and I turn it off, the car will not start again immediatley
Only after 30 minutes or so will I be able to start engine

Any and all help would be highly appreciated.

The not starting for 30-minutes may point to a failing crank sensor.

As for the lack of power, did you use the correct cam locks and follow the correct procedure for tensioning the belt?

Tried a different crank sensor but still giving me hassels, will have to get a new one, just to be sure.
cam locks and corrrect procedure for tensioning the belt. Could you please advise how this should be done...

Thanks David C
