Official Make Over Thread for my 512TR. Many Pics!

I'm surprised this thread hadn't caught my eye earlier. These are my favorite type.

Great work on your 512!

Absolutely beautiful

 

Read this all over again great work, what motor oil are you using in your TR.
So many choices out there .

 

Just spent half an afternoon reading this thread.. and it was worth it.. amazing job Adam.. well done.

 

GOOD for YOU !

 

Hi Adams, can you update us about your fabulous 512TR ?

Still in possesion, any jobs done on it ?

Do you have the fuse panel back from Dave and installed yet?

 

Shucks...no step by on the fuse box? LOL! You do such a great job Adam.

 

What he said.

 

If these is no step by step then it didn't happen.

 

Wow thanks for a great post !!!!!!

 

This winter Iam intending to do the 30K job and would love to illustrate it the way you did. Any advise when the time comes. You almost have a step by step instructional pictorial manual. AMAZING.Because of guys like you on this site, helped me make the decision of purchusing my 512.

 

Indeed Don !

And Adam made me pimp my engine bay almost in the same way ......

Please make a very detailed posting like Adam did !!!

But if you are not subscribed you will have the same problem that Adam has: no more uploading ... and that would be a pitty (wtf the few extra $$$'s ) !

 

I am still driving her and looking to do so until we get a hint of frost . The engine out is still going has planned but Iam now hesitating because of all this diff failure talk. Iam not concerned about the major but if I do decide to upgrade the diff, I know this is something mechanically that I could'nt do. I did a ring and pinion gear. Hangs on my 95 mustang but this is clearly not the same. I still have my dial indicator in the garage in the same place I left it in 96.

 

Don, if you did the C&P, exchanging the diff is peanuts imo !

 

I like this thread very much!!! So many information and really outstanding pictures. So as I have to do the cam belt service on my 512TR also now, I have a question, I could not find
an answer in the pictures: Is it correct you put out the AC compressor for removing the engine and install it back, after you put it in again ? To me it seems, the engine cannot be lifted out of the frame without removing the compressor as it is colliding with the
frame below the window.
Thank you so much for your answer

Take it out together with the engine in one go !

Have you read all about the gearbox check ?

It is the best to do that when the engine+gearbox are out at the same time .....

There are 4 threads about the gearbox problem, do read them all ... here is mine : http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=343161

If questions, mail me at [email protected] !

 

Thank you Mel,
I will try !
Well, the car runs very, very smooth and fine and there is absolutely no problem
with the gerar box (nock on wood it will stay so), as the car is more a collecting
car and drives only maybe 500km a year.
I will carefully read your recommended thread and consider what to do.

Best wishes ever

Ruedi

 

Hi Ruedi, how is/was your engine-out ? Any news and pic's ?
