Bummer. Makes that ticking sound an expensive one. Did you ever get around
to putting the belt covers back on?
If it makes you feel any better, I think a guy whose MOST practical car is a
GTV6 is pretty cool.

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
