348 Average cost of major service

When you consider that the additional parts alone: 40 new valves and guides, 14 rebuilt lifters, exhaust, intake and head gaskets, etc... associated with the head work were over $5k , not to mention $1k for the machine shop and all the labor to R&R the heads which wouldn't be required for a typical major, it was a bargain.

 

I agree is great. Do all 355 buyers need to budget for heads re-done at some point?

Always had good service from superformance. I also use Maranello spares here in the UK. Now a great website, helpful and bloody quick shipping. (It’s where eurospares apparently get their oem parts from.)

 

4 out of 10 F355 I see needs a valve job. That is an exceedingly high rate for a car.

 

Ask Mini and BMW shops, probably a higher percentage there, same reasons, small stems, poor cooling

 

Yes but those dont cost 80k used, 10 year old minis and 3/5 series are almost free.

And they have more than 30K miles

 

If that's for a 355 then, yeah, apples and oranges for this thread.

 

Yep. That was for my 355.
