Title: Cambelt Tool Fixture 88013039 Post by: DaveFrick on September 02, 2020, 11:30:18 PM I just acquired an 81 Beta Zagato 2.0 FI. The mileage is 91,000 miles and the prior owner has never done a timing belt. I think it needs to be done upon acquisition to create a baseline.
I scored a US Factory workshop manual from Ebay. It shows the cambelt change in and out of car. I will be doing it in car. The recommend the factory fixture 88013039 to align the key timing points- crank/auxilary/cams. Checking Youtube for the Lambredi 4 cylinder DOHC build and using a Fiat motor as an example; the builder lines up the cams easily to the points top of engine, sets the crank at approximately 2 o'clock, and sets the aux pulley using two points to create an imaginary line with the mark centered. I suspect this is how the Haynes manual presents it. However it seems not as precise as it should be. So the question(s); A cambelt change should occur? and Assuming so, does anyone have the factory tool for sale or is there an aftermarket tool that would work as a substitute? Thanks in advance, Dave Title: Re: Cambelt Tool Fixture 88013039 Post by: peteracs on September 02, 2020, 11:52:19 PM Hi Dave
You do not need the tool. Many of us have done it without it. See here as an example and there is a video listed at end of the thread. https://www.betaboyz.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2146.0 (https://www.betaboyz.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2146.0) Peter |
