    Hello everybody!
    Soon I'll make a general in the engine of my 348, I intend to replace the majority of bearings, gaskets and seals!, I also enjoy to touch up her makeup! kkk! (repaint)
    But I'm afraid to replace the timing belt!, it is difficult the making?

    It is easy once you remove the engine.

    It is easy to take it off and put a new one on.

    The harder parts are things like setting the belt tension and other little things that can destroy your whole engine.

    Not bad, just hard to follow the instructions sometimes. Depends largely on how well Italian translates into Portuguese.

    At least download the manual - that would be a good place to start! :)
    http://www.ferraridatabase.com/The_Downloads/Manuals_Workshop.htm

    Next, do a search on fatbillybob to find his how-to on degreeing cams, and then find one of the many engine-out threads on here.
