What do you mean looks like he was checking for piston valve clearance during his valve timing adjustment?

well. everytime i hear the music I have to make time to watch Requiem For A Dream, followed by a session of curling into the fetal position, holding myself, and sobbing.

thanks for that.

At one point, he was putting clay on the piston crowns, that's to check for piston to valve clearance.
Typically done when you fit high-comp pistons, or aftermarket ones, just to make *absolutely* sure there's no interference.
Also done if you're changing cam timing in a way that may have the valves closer to the pistons.

I'm pretty sure when he had the dial indicator installed, he was degreeing the cams.

Looking at the way he tightened the cam caps in the first few seconds, he's not an Alfa mechanic.

You may hand over your man card, keys, and motorcycle now, thanks.

Also, don't let the door hit you on the way out, we don't want ass prints on our door.  cheeky
