Geoff, have you tried this source in Germany? German parts sourceNo joy from the Piemonte club meeting yesterday I'm afraid, they asked around but negative response.

Be aware that the camshaft whilst the same, has a slightly different lift / duration to the coupe 16v camshaft, as that engine developed 148bhp

thanks to you all once more. I have asked the German supplier - but in the meantime the seller on Ebay with the Tipo has agreed to sell me his so it looks like I am all set. I am not too worried if the performance is a bit less so long as I can get the car working. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you. Faced the same issue with mine back in 2019 as lost oil pressure and Motormech diagnosed shot lobes due to a poor oil change regime - not by me but from previous owners down the line. Big bill to sort and more than value of the car but glad I bit the bullet and went for it
