    Don't sweat it. While kluber is the proper grease I have used other hi temp greases. It is for nothing other than to control rattle noises that upset the TDC sensor. You need hi temp so it does not turn to water. I got some that I know works at least as well as Kluber, I forget the brand, in a new tube if you don't buy the real stuff. I think it cost me about $10 bucks.

    I think too it is possible to take another grease, the ferrari are not so specials that a grease would be created specialy for this car...but to find exactly same tech details on anther grease it is hard..but if you have done it give us the name and type you took.
    Thanks for the answer from ricambi america but as I m in europe it wont be the easiess way to do...

    If you just want the SKF bearing all you need to do is get the number off of the side of the outer bearing race. Or, you can take the bearing to any good bearing shop and have them match it up for you.

    In the phone book look for Power Transmission distributors. A few of my customers are such creatures. Someone said earlier a good "PT" house can almost always ID a bearing and hopefully give you a couple choices. When it comes to bearings, Often times they will have several different types of tube grease and may be able to give you a substitute that will be the same.

    O-rings and belts(not mentioned here)are a great subject. These can also be had at PT houses. O-ring manufacturer's catalogs are the size of phone books. I'm curious how much FNA charges for that O-ring that they pay two or three dollars for?

    I know where to find it , it is not the problem...but often you must order and you have it in a couple of days...I wanted to do everything same day, having the ref would save time...I have done it on my 348, those photos are mine, the OEM bearing was SKF...and I paid it 30 euros if I remember well, exactly same ref..but 355 have different TO bearin 'new type...
    Will tell you 355 ref when I will do it...

    Not available as new. If you find someone with a used flywheel that is junk, perhaps you can get those from them.
