This video is for a Mondial but it goes over the cam lubrication, cam caps orientation, even the cap nuts orientation - at the 15min mark. [MEDIA]...
Wouldn't it make sense to do a leakdown to check the piston rings before a teardown? For the bank with the head removed, this link mentions a...
I talked to Brian, great guy. If it gets to that, I'll import the whole car and be done with it. Regarding the hours, these guys had about 120h...
Can anyone give me a rough idea of the hours involved in this?
Here's an outlier. Makes no sense whatsoever. The repair estimates they had were about $45000, and that was based on a visual check. No one knew...
Sure, I'll let you know if I don't need it.
BTW, the difference between a rebuilt, ready to bolt head from the US and rebuilding the orig head in the UK is $1.5-2k max, not counting the...
Down south there's Cali weather. Besides, 2.5 months since the inspection is long enough. Another example with failure on both banks. I don't get...
The EU is not the US, that's all I got to say. The official Ferrari dealer says the machine shop they normally work with cannot repair the head...
Actually, the exhaust valve guides are different between the euro and US models. Euro #123075 USA #117565 Parts guy says the difference is in...
Regarding the cylinder heads - my plan is to get the rebuilt heads from the US to speed things up. The parts catalog lists #121440 as the...
Thanks Brian. By easily avoided do you mean getting new ones? Personally, I'm not a fan of the rear covers because they make a routine visual...
Great guys. Highly recommended.
Just talked to them. For a TR it'd be a custom order, they need measurements, about 2 weeks turn around, about $50-70.
Many thanks for this. It's exactly what I was looking for when I went to talk to dealer again. I'm getting the head(s) from the US ready to go, to...
Thanks for the explanation.
Am I reading this correctly? Oil flows from the tank toward the filter, by going up around the intake cam area - is that the oil pump? From the...
Thanks, I missed it in the WSM. That diagram is all black in my copy. Is the original color coded?
You answered exactly what I wanted to confirm. I've been half arguing with people that should know better. So, oil starvation was also involved...
Turbo-joe, since you service TR's regularly, can you confirm that the cam caps must match the number on the block and the also orientation of the...
