It would be really great to know what dealership/service department/person told you that the flywheels were not to be machined. Then I would know who not to call.
What does the Work Shop Manual say? This book, along with a parts catalog, should be in the possession of every Ferrari owner that is somewhat mechanically interested in their car. They are actually kind of a fun read. CD versions can be bought on ebay for little money. -F
What do you search for on ebay? I've been searching for "ferrari 360 workshop manual" and nothing comes up except a $1500 original manual. I found it for $50 on another website, is that what they cost? Thanks
Forgive me, if you will. N/A IS NOT a profile. That's yours, incidently. Are you a "newbie?" IMHO. BTW, true profiles are often used to berate those who disagree and that is why most are bogus. That is the sad truth and says way more than I can.
Brian has a long history of giving expert advice on this forum. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience that is very impressive. Many people here, have benefited from his postings and are greatful. HOWEVER; Brian remains arrogant, self righteous and rude. He is impatient and always ready to make a condescending remark. Be nice, it's easier Regards, Stew
FWIW, I have reset my profile Must be the name, eh Brian? ;-) Rude, arrogant ? Maybe, but knowledgable, absolutely! Brian
arrogant? rude? when you answer the same questions over and over, and correctly then someone still insists you are wrong, then it may seem arrogant or rude to the listener, but ya' know: a teacher appears when the student is ready. Impatient: NOT, he's a working guy with a lot of practicality, and I've read his threads, especially on the last read of the science involving a NUT [yes, just a simple nut] on a clutch ...OMG!!!!!!!!, I finally had to put head in bag to breath deep when he responded with this item: NAILLLLLED ITTTTTTTT.

oh, yes, here's that debate I followed...lot of smart people but if you can stick with the subject, Rifledriver was right on. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146656
Below is the website with the manuals on the CD's. http://www.ferraripubs.com/ If you own a 360 I would highly recommend purchasing the workshop manual. -F
I fully understand his frustration and his general attitude. have a look back at his posts throughout the years on here..search the old archives as well. You will see a totally different attitude. He has tried and tried to help people on this board, and more often then not (over the last couple of years) has been met with people telling him he is wrong. Seeing the same questions posted over and over again by sometimes the same person can get very tiresome. Most of the questions that are asked on this board can be answered by simply picking up the owners manual and having a read. But most do not do that it seems. I hope you haven't left the site Brian..I have learned a lot from you... Tom.
BFD!. You've told us exactly NOTHING! QUOTE=brian.s;136752346]FWIW, I have reset my profile Must be the name, eh Brian? ;-) Rude, arrogant ? Maybe, but knowledgable, absolutely! Brian[/QUOTE]
This was the topic I believe? If a shop chooses to try and be a Ferrari repair facility, the purchase of relevent available information would be a tool of enormous value. But, as again proven, the general "wannabies" have all the answers. I help when I can offer experienced hands on knowledge. Currently in my shop, 71 Daytona, 83 BB, two 79 308, 98 355 spyder. Present Ferrari customer base over 120. Attack me, I don't give a hoots. Brian
Tom, I couldn't agree more. Brian, I hope a few jerks haven't dissuaded you from logging on and posting anymore, because it would be a great loss, for me and many others
Ernie, Why do you feel the need to attack? This was not the situation so why try and twist the topic and personally attack someone? What a shame
