wow - so they basically last forever...no timming belt..timming chain..and that at 200000 miles..
That doesn't mean it won't ever need tension adjustment.wow - so they basically last forever.
Like our Chrylser Sebring convertible? The water pump siezed which took out the timing belt! Valves & pistons collided - broke at least two valves (4 valves/cylinder) on the rear bank. Quit dissassembly then and replaced the engine...Break a belt and you're looking at a serious repair...
Willie, First rule of Alfa mechanics, never brag about how long a part has lasted, now It's sure to fail tommorow.My chain in my -67 Duetto has lasted for 40 years now. That's quality.
And my FIAT 124 Spider,... which my cousin had been driving at that time since I didn't use it much... Now it has a new head, engine was pulled out and has been ready to go back in longer than I want to disclose, but I decided that we are going to re-do the car... It really isn't another "project", since we were already "in there"...Like our Chrylser Sebring convertible? The water pump siezed which took out the timing belt!
