    The other banks tensioner bearing arm was found to be over tightened and frozen in place. It's a good thing that it never jumped a tooth. A new sleeve has been ordered and we cannot continue until it arrives.

    Tell me those SRI coolant hoses don't look like they're right out of a Formula 1 car. :)

    Not to nit pik, but didn't see a photo of the degree wheel for timing the cams.

    Has anybody ever found the factory marks to be off or to have moved? Just curious, as if not I don't know that I'd bother degreeing the cams every time. Maybe I could see degreeing the first time the belt is changed and then after verifying the marks are correct just straight replacing for subsequent belt changes...

    It's just good habit to check timing every time, you can never trust the guy before you. So far I have only caught one car that did not line up. One is enough for me not to chance it.

    From what my Ferrari service mgr tells me, the cars will run ok using the factory marks, however to run perfect a degree wheel must be used. Most experienced mechanics know this.

    Isn't degreeing the cams part of your major service?

    I am not sure what you mean by you "check" the timing every time, as opposed to "degreeing the cams" every time.
