Thanks Fred, I'm reluctant to move the crank or cams independantly of each other as the valve timing should be right, I did not observe and spring movement of the camshafts and I know the crank didn't move. I just spoke to a local mechanic who told me the auxillary shaft drives the oil pump anf the distributor but cannot strike the crank, it's only the valves that are in danger. apparently the aux shaft alignment has more to do with the iginition timing than anything else.
My current plan? (which he said sounded good)
1) replace belt and tensioner as is.
2) remove plugs, hand turn crank slowly, observe timing marks, hope for smooth operation.
3) assuming the timing is correct, align marks for cams and crank, pull belt off of tensioner, turn aux pump to it's mark, reassemble, pray like hell...
I have a Fiat factory manual to work from, not as good as I wish it was..
