It definitely wasn't a matter of water in the distributor… Here you are the problem (no problem with this picture copyright, I took it personally, you can share with who you want) ciao Image Unavailable, Please Login
That's right! I remember that from your book. The design of the vents directing air into the air boxes are smart but it was mentioned that in rainy conditions it would collect water? Something like that? Ill have to revisit your book. This is just MY thought... if that car was just driving in the rain and the air boxes collected water that engine would've locked up. But since the car was just at a carwash and they sprayed water in the engine bay there might've been a chance of water in the distributors, sensor connectors like the crank angle sensor or whatever and if the boxes were to collect water just sitting at a carwash that engine would've locked up even just cranking and not starting(The air boxes actually have drains so that wouldn't be the case). Bent valves or a possible bent rod. But the engine did start after sitting for lil while and they continued with the testing correct?
Materazzi original technical design had the air boxes intake in a different position, not on the engine lid. The shape designer team (Pininfarina with Fioravanti) moved them there (BB 512 style, always a Fioravanti style) and the result was a lot of problems, then fixed with an air box mod (which included draining holes). Materazzi heavily criticized (=insulted) who moved them there. ciao
Looks like the road towards Concorso Italiano at Black Horse Golf Club in Seaside, CA. Marcel Massini
I don't. Do tell... As an fyi after seeing all the pictures and history on the GTO, I decided tonight I must have one in the future! What a beautiful significant automobile! Raj

Mod, I never post this picture in this thread! If I remember well, it was 288Gto thread by Kizdan. In my opinion, respect the thread of Each member of communauty. Before to come the actual Fchat, Don t forget it was made by passion people not " sedentary commercial ". Regards Christian
