My 156 is a 2.0 TS with Selespeed and at 118,000 km runs brilliantly.

Can someone please provide links to the procedure to change cam belt/water pump on the V6, TS and JTS engines. 

I'd also appreciate some estimates on the time required for a relatively savvy home mechanic to do the task.  Any special tools required, and any tricks/gotchas.

I'm looking at 156s on the used market and intend haggling hard on cars with unknown cambelt history.  But I need to value the job to know what's risky and what's reasonable.

Is there any mechanical-level equivalent to 'The Alfa Owners Bible' covering the 156 era vehicles?
