    Or better yet go to a ferrari repair shop that carries tf1055 and have them sell you it .. that will probably be the best and most cost effective

    Plain water is fine for transferring heat. The usual reasons for excessive temps are air pockets in the cooling system, or the inability of it to hold pressure. Did you go through bleeding procedures, or use a vacuum system for adding water? Is the expansion tank cap on?

    The fans haven't gone on because the temp sensors for activation are at the top of the radiators and there isn't any water up there. The cooling system still has air in it.

    I don't have the experience with Ferraris to advise. I recommend that you peruse this forum for solutions; you aren't the first one to experience this problem. If it was a BMW (where most of my experience lies), I would advise raising up the bleed point and increase the RPMs as you bleed.

    I understand. A $150 tool looks really cheap when compared to 2 hours of frustrating labor.

    Ehi Lars. yes all set. Even changed the water pump after replacing the HE. The vacuum filler is a life saver. Car is back on the road same as first day was built.
    washed the intire engine, fix and paint the bottom covers, change back tires cleaned all the hubs.
    Car is in perfect now.

    As i told flash 32 i hade an issue with the roof. Afeter to many try the flappy door snapped and got stuck under, that caused the roof not to respond.
    After taking to dominick he suggested to buy the new flappy door. After hearing the price i got almost an Harth attack LOL. 850$ only primed. i figure ill fix my self and have somebody painted:)
    AND WEILA’. Good is new.

    Yes, I admire your willingness to tackle Ferrari projects you have never done before (or even heard of). I will follow your example.

    Well done! Such a great feeling to have the satisfaction of a job well done and getting more mystic out of your Ferrari. This is a pretty simple machine, all things considered.
