    Hi guys
    Doing an engine out belt change, bought parts from Superformance and Eurospares. For some reason the new thermostat is too long and won't fit in. I went to my local Ferrari Dealer and theirs is the same size as the one supplied to me. Part no 165473. Has anyone come across this before???

    Not with a thermostat, but the new 348 alternator I got didn't fit either even though part numbers the same

    In some cases, particularly on race cars, the lower passage below the tstat was blocked off and tstat left out. Yours?
