Alfa Milano Cam Timing
 

Hi,
A cambelt tensioner pulley broke on a 16V Milano and fortunately no valves
were bent. However the cams jumped a few teeth and having made new
Alumininium pulleys and having fitted new belts, I would like to get
confirmation on the cam timing marks. The inlet and exhaust have marks on
them that should line up with each other at TDC. The problem is that the
inlet cam have two marks....which one is the correct one ? Can anyone
help???
Thanks,
Dev

16v Milano? - are you absolutely sure about that?

It may have twin cams, but it won't have 16v.

I was under the impression that only V-6 75's were called Milanos and
then, only in the USA. I presume that you are talking about a 4-cylinder
engine?

Yeah, but a V6 would be a 12v or 24v not a 16v or 8v?

This Milano has a 16valve dohc 1700cc fuel injected boxer engine. This is a
derivative of the old Alfa Sud/Alfa 33 engines. and the car is quite pretty
with frontwheel drive. Only a few were imported to South Africa and
therefore info & parts are very scarce here. The car is wedge shaped and
looks very similar to the Alfa 155 with a Alfa 33 look mixed and is the same
size as the old Alfa 33.

Then you are probably talking about the Alfa 33 nuova. Maybe they nicknamed
this particualr 16V model "milano". Does it look anything like this 33:

This alfa 33 was manufactured in large numbers in 1.3/1.4, 1.5, 1.7 and
1.7 16V versions.

The name "Milano" is normally used for the american version of the Alfa 75
(and that always is a 75 3.0V6 IIRC).

Interesting. Any idea where the Milano moniker comes in? It is certainly
the case that most people would think US 75 when they here 'Milano'

Yep, thats the one... This one has a nice body kit though... Spoiler on the
front, side skirts & wing on the bootlid. I managed to get the camtiming
settings from a local guy so thanks a lot for your help guys.
I think maybe the local Alfa importers named the car a Milano and removed
the 33 badges from the car as the older 33 that was manufactured here was a
very poorly assembled car and was known as "big trouble" due to ****ty
assembly and inferior local components and body trim.
Thanks again,
Dev
