Cost of just belts and tensioners

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.

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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........
