Ferrari tax

 

FFS....also concentrating on the wrong number you were making up.

 

have you never bought a 40+ year old Ferrari before? Particularly an entry level car with owners who don't spend money?

I know that car from it's previous ownership, I can tell you it's had 3/5ths of f**k all spent on it before the museum got it. 36K miles, no mention in the advert of an engine rebuild = that thing hasn't been apart since knew = sodium valves. The broken rings are a certainty because of irregular use and the too-high piston to bore clearance they had to run in the day.

I've never seen one of these engines pulled down without finding broken rings.

 

Aaah, memories

Yes Ian, I have, actually.

 

Oh, so that's what you meant when you said "somebody cracked my ring."

 

lol.....nope

 

Bah, good for another 100,000 km!

 

of course I know and you know that I know. It was a rhetorical question

 

ahhhhh.......I see.

 

Right car best history= top money, this will help the HAGI keep a positive figure

Would the rings break again Ian after an engine rebuild because of the design clearances you eluded to?

 

Probably for the next owner

 

Must admit I was looking at that car.......I just couldnt get around breaking the news to Jules without being thrown out of the house with a small " Go Bag "......

 

No, because you fit modern forged pistons with modern ring metallurgy. The OE ferrari pistons need lots of clearance because they expand so much with heat.

I can’t belive how much the Enzo has grown on me in the last few years.

Where did that lotto ticket go?

 

Same!!!

 

Nope - still ugly and overrated

 

Yep, plenty of more beautiful Ferrari’s than that one for the money!!
