    Hi!
    Quick question regarding oil pump chain drive sprocket nut. Is it left-hand thread or right-hand thread?

    Right handed, normal thread, very few things on that car is left handed. At least the Italians had some sense with that.

    Yep, I'm here and yep, that's my failure bearing. Glad I listened to Steve and checked.

    That's Tony @Autohaus of Boston performing the full update on my '89 348.

    It's surprising this issue is still out there. This is a 30 year old Technical Bulletin and not a particularly expensive or difficult remedy. Does nobody ever check this on expensive "majors" ?
