amg55,
You've got a PM.

Capristo exhaust is the only way to go.

 

I have known a main dealer do an engine in belt change at customers request. And plenty do over here at independents.

 

As do I.

 

I thought a hole was needed in order to get access to crank pulley? I can't imagine Ferrari dealerships doing that sort of damage to a car?

 

Mind sharing the contact info for your mechanic?

 

Never done mine that way so someone with exp feel free to correct me however from what I was told by the euro guys who have been doing it for almost 10 years since I found out, the fuel tank gets removed. When they do it the second time a lot of them made up some brackets so that the next time the tank can be removed way quicker. I forget the name of the company but they are well know and as far as I could gather well respected in Europe. Same company fixes the exhausts by welding them.

 

Just remember its QV London

 

No they certainly don't do that!

 

My last cambelt service was done engine in. Had to keep taking it back because of fuel leaks.

 

There have been many documented 355 fires which occur after a cars has had an engine out service.
Swings and round abouts.

Go and do your own search. You have been around here long enough to know how the search works and to have heard and read the story's. Unless you have lived on another planet, you know that the fires can be caused by the fuel lines unions that are cross threaded or crack during re assembly, and also clips that are replaced wrong and rub through the fuel pipes. Engine fires can happen after both methods, be it engine in or engine out.
So stop being silly.

 

That's true.

Long time no chat. Hope all is well.

 

Yea, alls wel
I see there are still stupid people It's called selective reading.

 

LMAO!

 

Small things amuse small minds

 

Few threads about 355 engine fires, let alone linked to post service. Certainly more concerning would be the now 20 year old plastic connectors which need to be disconnected during tank removal. As for cross threading or bad o-ring install, a shop would 1) likely not do it wrong, but I agree mistakes CAN happen, or 2) during the test fire up notice the leak or during the final check over for delivery. A faulty quick connector on the tank however may only show up after a fuel refill and therefore be overlooked at time of service.

 

Funny that because even the original person I was talking to (Angelis), knew exactly what I was talking about.
There are threads on FC that talk about cars that have set on fire because of badly fitted hoses after an engine out. Also other threads saying that there is a potentual for fire due to incorrect fitting of clips and unions. Including comments about this from rifeldriver.
So now your trying to say this is not true? Is that correct? Thrre would have been many people reading this that have read the same over the years. But as usual on these threads they will just watch and not get involved

 

Me too! When this pesky rain stops.......
