Thanks for the tips so far!

See tech bulletins for 24v engine timing belt and cam timing, too.
Be sure you have good bearings in two idler and the tensioner pulleys. Also be sure tensioner cylinder is fully pressurized and has no free play in end of piston when you try to compress it.
Alfa 164 Service Bulletins and you did read John's thread 24V Timing Belt Questions ?
