    I'd like to keep a running tab of all of the service obligations we have in-house. Some of them are in and out in one day, some are here for a few days or more. We'll try and get pictures of every project we do.

    This first one is a Fiorano that came in for a major service. We're also doing the inner axle boots. As a courtesy, with all cars in for service, we swap out of the air in the tires with nitrogen (at the owner's approval of course).

    This one's interesting. It's a 360 Spider whose engine light came on. The owner brought it in, we ran the code and it turned out to be the fuel tank rollover valves. Failure of a quick smoke test showed that the valves were leaking and needed to be replaced.

    This car came in for a cylinder head overhaul and a compression and leakdown test.

    Does the cylinder leakage tester first gage show the line air pressure?

    no pics of the heads off though,it would be useful for many here to correlate the leakage numbers with valve stem play and cyinder head appearance etc., also give amunition for thorough ppi information. interesting to see that header wrap on there as well.


    thanx

    This is an '86 328 GTS that came in for a major service. We're also replacing the clutch disc and pressure plate, the transmission pan gasket, the oil pan gasket and the rear main seal.

    Here we've got a 360 Spider that came in needing a wheel bearing. While it was here, the owner said what hell, do the major.

    This light blue Spyder is here so we can replace the defective motor for the convertible top. At the owner's request, we're installing stiffer springs.

    This F430 Spider came in to have aftermarket wheels and front bumper skid plates installed. While it was here, we did a Stage One Universal Service. When the owner came back the next day to get the car, he asked if we would tint the windows and do a major service. So, naturally, we're digging in. Here are some shots of the wheels and skid plates; more shots of the major to come.

    It's not everyday that I see an F50 - either in the service department or on the road, let alone in half! But it was here so we could check an oil leak. We also replaced the clutch and adjusted the hand brake.

    Thanks for the pictures, they're really enjoyable, espcially ones with an artistic touch to it...Now a question please: what chemicals did you use to clean these 328 aluminum gear and tranny covers to be like new?

    A strange idea, this.

    Also very, very cool. Could sell photo sets from some services, like the F-50. Wow at seeing the rear end apart from the rest of the car.

    hello there,

    i dont own a ferrari (and possibly never will :/) but i recreate the f430 in an 3d program (3dsmax) and i am always looking for ref pics. pics they show details that wont appear on the glossy magazine pics. currently i am working on the front bumper and it is very nice to see how the bumper looks from the bottom view with all the screws and plates. thanks!

    Are you not using any gasket sealer for those oil pan and transmission pan gaskets? Just curious as everyone seems to do them differently.
