Variable Valve Timing???? Well now the 355 guys have proof!!! J/K!!!

The F40 seems to have a 3rd brake light. Is this standard kit on US F40's or an add on?

Thanks

I see you strolled down to the beach when you became bored with the cars

 

I like the last picture

 

Oz I'm surprised. I thought this was common knowledge. It is not really variable valve-timing....it is variable cam-timing. YES YES YES......ALL 355's, and even all of the 348's have VARIABLE cam-timing.....from the factory.

 

Cool pics goth. Thanks for sharing.

 

Oz, I know it's monday, and with all the partying over the weekend coupled with the 24hrs of LM and the F1 at Indy, all our thoughts are cloudy. But with all you know about the 355 engine, and remembering pugzits' post on variable cam timing, please rethink what I said. Was the statement I made, true/factual, or was it ironic? This is a real brain exercise here...lol

 

I was there, but REALLY early in the morning, watching all the cars show up. The guys that brought the Veyron were WAY cool. Talked with them for quite a while. I even invited them to bring it to Euro Sunday at the VCR. They said they might, but it depended on if it got sold or not.

 

I guess I could have, but I didn't know you were gonna go. I went right after work.

 

Oz, you are waaaay to cool. I wish you were my next door neighbor....fun times would abound, to say the least.

Cam timing, on 348's and 355's, is variable with the engine RUNNING.

It is almost nil and unpreceptable when new, but with age it becomes more pronounced and apparent. It reaches its' maximum variation and is unmistakeable the instant before that strectched/worn cam belt finally breaks.....lol

 

Sure, just pull the dowels out of the cam cogs. That'll get you your "variable" timing with the engine running. Don't know how long it will run though?

LOL!

 

That little modification for sure, is the end all of variable cam-timing....and brother I mean "THE END ALL"......lol

Great post ernie

 

Mad bastards!!
