Big jump to to come up with cam timing has altered causing engine to run rough. There are so many other possible reasons, like a coil has failed, etc.

I have set 24V V6 locking tools for sale if anyone's interested, I'm over in to UKMight also have a cam wrench.
My cam locks will be original Alfa ones.
Great, probably I can buy the cam wrench, but I read that there are two versions depending on 3 hole or 4 hole cams and I am not yet sure what I haveMight also have a cam wrench.
My cam locks will be original Alfa ones.
I am referring to the cam pulley tool used to hold the pulley while removing the pulley nut (useful when replacing cam shaft seals)Hope you guys had a good xmas day.
Not sure what you mean by cam wrench? The cams can be turned using the bolt that holds the sprocket on.
You will need a good 41 mm socket for the bottom pully that's for sure.
For changing a belt that is on perfect timing, I guess you can loosen the tensioner and remove the old belt and slide in the new belt and re-tension it properly, correct?
Yeah you just have to figure out how to hold the cams in place because they move when you loosen the belt. Its a little bit of a dancing act.
How to you retime a jumped tooth timing? I mean how will you know which cam was off and also whether it is lagging or leading?
You absolutely need the dies if you have no other reference marks (from a previous belt change for example).
This is not wrong but you don't have to do it this way. You don't need to break the tapper on the cam pulley. Its just more work and you run the risk of making a mess of the job. Just reposition the camshaft. My view is from a workshop perspective where I did one or two of these a week for ten years so make of that as you wish.For the cam which is mistimed, you need to unbolt the cam gear bolt and pull it off from the cam.
