Alfa 164 12V Flywheel

That's useful to know Craig, i.e.that they can actually balance the engine in the car.

Hi,

The sensor is as the standard 166 set-up. The flywheel I have (from a 1989 Alfa 164 12V) has a timing ring on the back of the flywheel and it looked the same as the dual mass flywheel I had access to. I do remember the sensor on the 164 as being on the pulley end of the crank though.

I stuck it all together and it all seems to work pretty well.

I have to mention that the donor 24V engine I had was from an automatic Alfa 166, so I never had the original flywheel as such.

Maybe I was just lucky?

Maybe I was just lucky?

I nipped over to Liverpool to pick up the flywheel that Guy had... Turns out I have been lucky... The 164 flywheel Guy had has no timing ring on it.
The one I have must be a transition flywheel that was destined for another engine (24V) after the 12V?

I have a solid flywheel, not a dual mass, but mine has the 24V timing ring on the back.
It's fitted with a 164 12V pressure plate and clutch (bought from Alfa)

Is it likely to be the same as a 164 24V engine, or a 2.5 24V engine??
Can anyone shed any light on this please?

2.5 probably Andy. The 164 has the timing bit on the crank nose pulley.

You may find that the smaller 12v clutch will only fit that flywheel Andy. The 24v has slightly bigger clutch dia and mounting PCD....... My Kappa engine was originally auto and has the same smaller 12v flywheel with the trigger wheel on the back, uses 12v size clutch (Helix paddle)
