Ahem.........there is only one Brotherhood, and that's the 348 Brotherhood. The 355 guys are the hair gel, and hair dryer squad. LOL!!!!! Again Mario, thanks for putting that spread sheet together.
Looking for a Clutch Assembly (Double Disc) & Flywheel Assembly for 1992 F-348TS Who deals with exchange/purchase on these items? Thanks for the help!
superformance do an aftermarket clutch http://www.superformance.co.uk/a-348/clutch.htm we could rebuild yours. re flywheel do you want a rebuilt flywheel? new ones cost but good guides on here on how to rebuild yours, which would be better option given shipping!
For used parts, I recommend GT Car Parts. 623-780-2200 If you want your clutch rebuilt, I have a guy who does excellent work. Your flywheel can be surfaced by the same guy. He's located in San Jose, CA. If you are having damper problems, that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish, and you should PM me about that, as I probably know more about the Voith Damper than anyone, unless there is still someone at Voith who worked on the Ferrari project.
Hi Guys. Need your help once again. My local dealer has told me I need two 02 sensors (no big deal, off to Bosch right now), but also I apparently need two Catalytic Control Units. Does anyone know of a lower cost option for these control units, as they are US$795 each from EuroS and I didn't even bother asking at my local Ferrari dealer, as they seem to think everything is gold plated. I may have found a lower cost option for the AC compressor, but will post info once it is fitted and working next week. Thanks, Foxy.
Don't use Bosch O2 sensors. Walkers are $30 each on Amazon, have top quality crimp and solder connectors, and do a better job. On the cat controllers, I can't remember what it is, but I thought there was some alternative.
Are the Walker ones a straight swap or do you have to solder on new connectors and rewire? Thanks for the advice by the way.
All I will add this item to the 348 parts interchange spreadheet. Any other recent adds since I assembled this 2 months ago? See attached SN flyer. Please advise. 4MARIO Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not a straight swap. You cut off the existing connector, slide on the supplied Walker heat shrink tubing, crimp on the supplied Walker butt splice connector to connect your old connector to the Walker O2 sensor, and, if you want to do it right, solder the crimped connector through its little hole put there for that purpose. Then heat the shrink tubing and you're done. It might have taken me 20 minutes to do both of them. Nothing wrong with reusing the old connectors as long as they not broken or anything. I treat all my connectors with Caig Laboratories D5, then follow up with S5 Shield, so they work better than new anyway.
Walker also makes a direct OE version for those that don't want to solder or crimp their old connectors: Walker 250-24040 They run about twice the price of the generic Walker sensor.
Um, yeah. Because I'm running them on my car. Don't believe everything you see on Amazon. http://www.oxygensensors.com/catalog.php?&pkey=1103825 Image Unavailable, Please Login
My pleasure, although I did hesitate posting their site - even though I ordered the correct part # from that page, they sent the wrong ones (completely different part #) the first time I ordered. They did correct the order promptly; may have just been a glitch with their system, but it did require follow-up.
I started a full clutch rebuild this weekend on Eva with the help of Plugzit and when I got to the ringnut securing the flywheel I did not have the socket to do the job. I checked online and the socket is over $100.00 dollars and with the wife laid off explaining why I spent $100.00+ on a socket would be problematic... So I did some stooge investigation and found an alternate that works like a champ and only cost me $19.99 at my local Pep Boys! The socket is made by GreatNeck and is part #33625966 and the tag says 76mm wheel bearing 1/2" drive. Yes GreatNeck makes saws and these sockets which this particular model is built for Ford series HD trucks. I personally used it today and it worked great. So you can buy a $100.00 + socket or take it from this stooge and go to Pep Boys and pick this baby up for $19.99. Your wallet will thank you later.

Could we get an update on the performance of the Kia Crank Sensors? You must have serious experience by now? Randall
Everybody seems to like them, but, for my money, the ones from Airtex are the way to go. Exact fit, exact wiring, and, hey, guess what? Unlike Bosch's Chinese crap, they are actually made in Germany! The difference between the strength of the magnets inside the Airtex sensors and my old Bosch ones was night and day. Yeah, they are $160 each instead of $40 or whatever, but you only need two, and I bet you won't ever replace them again.
