My engine was siezed and I couldn't align marks before removing the head. I don't have the pointers but I do have raised "bars" in the casting where the cam drive shafts go through the head. The cam sprockets have two holes drilled through that look like they could be aligned with the casting bumps. When lined up, looking at the front of the head, the exhaust side pair of holes points to about 1:00 and the intake side points to about 11:00. The picture in the manual looks something like this but I don't have the pointers shown in the manual. The axillary drive pulley has one hole drilled through. Do you align that hole with the little tensioner bolt or the bigger one with the spring?
Thanks in advance for the help, C.

Holes in the camshaft sprockets line up with the casting bumps as you suggest.

There is a special Fiat tool that bolts to the front of the engine to line up the auxilliary shaft sproket. The tool has a pointer that fits into the hole in the sprocket. That said, nobody ever used it in the Fiat dealer I worked for. The hole should be 33° to the right of vertical which is roughly in line with the center of tensioner spring bolt.

Great.. thanks. I did a timing belt job around 1985 and remember doing it without the special tool. How important is the location of the aux pulley?

The auxiliary shaft has a lobe for the mechanical fuel pump. If you get the sprocket more than 2 or 3 teeth wrong, the fuel pump lobe can collide with the number 2 con-rod.

Found this picture from an old Fiat workshop manual.

Awesome... Thanks so much. It's great to get such direct and good information so quickly. That internet....

I'll report back on my low $ bead hone rebuild..... Thanks, C.

33° equates to 1 o'clock. the aux shaft should point to 1 o'clock. also, don't forget to turn the engine by hand at least two full revolutions with that special tool you made... that will tell you right away if there is any interference.
