I think alfa put in the faster pump when they added the piston oil jets. I had a older 164 with the old type gears in the head it even had the slot cut in to it. my guess is the faster pump makes up for the new demand for the 6 oil jets. and any block after x s/n or after x year also had the oil jet...

on my 12v I had the knock and it ran low oil PSI any time hot(if you can trust the alfa gage) no light over 230K miles When I puled it, the main bearings were very bad and the rod were a bit bad. I put the same rods and crank in a S block (wanted the piston oil jets) with new bearings. now no more k...

"these grooves face the rotating crank journal side right?" yes the grooves let the oil get between the shaft and the thrust bering. with oil flowing they should never touch the shaft. just like the other berings. they should only touch when there is no oil. that pic is of one that alfa pu...

OK I snaped a pic

I think mine only had grooves on one side too. when I have a chance I will take a look I think some of the old might be still on the floor.

I think I know why the back one is a thong. I have my alt. very close to the power steering line and it hits when I hit the breaks. And what I have noticed is when the motor is cold the exhaust system is shrunk and leans the front of motor down.(I hit a lot more) As it heats up it expands and the mo...

you have to just check which you need.

Sounds the same. you can not push in it by hand. you need a press or a vise. and it also has a pin to hold it closed to install the belt.(not needed as you just bolt it in on the camery) My guess is is the same inside just a different mount. The jap cars have very long timming belt life so the oil f...

On the camery the belt seems to to feel good hot or cold. And the life of the belt speaks for it's self. It works like a shock. you can push it in and its will pop back out. it just slows it down.

You might be able to use a camery part where the threaded bolt goes. They seem to work well on the camery . And they are oil filled so they will not osclate.
