Cost of just belts and tensioners

Of a 2 valve (mondial 8 to be exact). Anyone have recent experience with this?
Thanks
Sam

 

Birdman bought tensioners & belts from Dennis McCann for his '77 308GTB. Think the tensioners were about $50 each & belts $20 each. Best price I've heard of.

 

Yes, Dennis McCann seems to have the best price. Belts were about $20 each and the tensioners were about $50 each. A lot more reasonable than I expected.

Thanks. Anyone know the cost of having those installed?

 

I don't think you can just have these things installed.It sounds like you need a major service which includes all belts,tensioners,valve clearance checked and adjusted etc... and according to various people on board you are looking at between $2500-3000. Copied this from another thread.....
I just copied and pasted this from "Eugenio's" site that was mentioned in another thread.

*30,000 mile (MAJOR) Service for 308's, 328's, Mondial 3.2's & QV's = $2995.00
(348's are $3995.00, Mondial t's are $4995.00, and F355's are $5575.00 due to parts cost, engine removal, etc.)

Try to find a good independant mechanic who knows ferraris, 308's aren't rocket science and you can save a TON of money, should run 2,500-3,500 for a 308 major barring no major unseen problems.

Hope this helps.

 

For Dayco belts (personally I like these the best) and 2 SKF Tensioner bearings $220 from T. Rutlands. That is what I paid a few months ago.

 

If you were to only get the belts and tensioners done, it would cost around $1200-$1500 by an independant.

 

Sam if it helps you at all, just had the belts and tensioners done on the 355@ WWoC $3500-engine out. FoLI quoted $4400 same job.

 

So far I have 3900 for full major, and 2800 for just belt and tensioners.
Anyone know a very reliable independent shop in striking distince of LI/ NY area that would charge only 1500-2000?

 

Superperformance UK had an offer on recently £65 the lot, 2 belts and tensioners, all pukka stuff. great value.

Their web site is very clear and the service was quick and friendly.

 

Thanks. I went ahead and made an appointment at Ferrari of Long Island.
Called 4 places, and they had the best price and service.

 

Oops, didn't read the post properly. No idea what people charge to install just these

 

$1,200 US sounds about right.......

 

Best price: 2800 for parts and labor.

 

Labor is cheaper, down South you know.......

 

Whew...would hate to think I was overpaying

 

I think that's really about right for using a FNA dealer.

I was teasing and use an independent, shop rate is $75/hr.
I'll know more when these 12 year old units come off........
