Good thing about the 8 valve 4 cyl TS engines (as in 164, 75TS, and early 155) is that they have a timing chain instead of a timing belt - with the 16 valve heads and iron blocks they switched to a timing belt. The 8 valve TS is an evolution of the good old Alfa Nord engine, while the 16 valve is a Fiat derivative.
