Does anyone know which years the 33 1.7 8v had hydraulic tappets and which years it had solid/shimmed tappets?

I've replaced the 'heads on my '87 sprint engine (originally hydraulic tappets) with solid tappet heads (skimmed, fast road cams etc) and need a new pair of cam belts, but two types/sizes are shown in the parts book.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Rich

Hydraulics came in in 1987, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was a luck of the draw situation at the factory.

If you post your engine number here, someone with the alfa parts cdrom can input that, and check which belts you need.

Cheers,

John
