yeah, you're not kidding! i've been worried about that for a while now as it's been leaning & leaning ever so slightly more as time clicks on and it's just a matter of time.
so the milano is back on 4 wheels for the first time in 2 years, has the hood back on and it's washed & clean! ok, so it's still a car only a mother could love but it looks a lot better and i can almost hear it revving. which is a good thing since i decided to bolt everything back on in order to tow it and just leave the engine uninstalled for now.
one quick question about valve adjustment though: do the cams always have to be removed for valve adjustment/changing shims? that's what the service manual says, of course, but just wondering if there are any tools for adjusting with the cams still installed like other cars? also, can the cams or specifically the cam pulleys be removed with ordinary tools or do i need the special alfa tools? thanks, thanks.
