Yep, that's it, I will check that. Does the valve cover need to come off to swap the solenoid? Also, what do you like to use to clean the oil off the valve cover? That red paint does not like to be rubbed too hard...

 

Yes valve cover has to cone off to replace the solenoids. I just did it to

 

Thanks everyone for your input. I am going to clean the valve cover in the area around the solenoid and keep an eye on any oil. I saw that Maserati makes the same exact variator solenoid but with a slightly longer wire pigtail available at a better price. If indeed I do need to replace the solenoid, I will replace all 4 and will go that route and do it myself over a winter weekend. It looks like getting the engine frame out of the way makes the job much easier so I will figure out how to do it that way.

 

Super clean! Can’t wait until I can get under there on mine.

 

Any tricks /tips on adjusting the exhaust tips

Looks incredible Allen!

Mine had that wood screw too, is it possible that's how it came? I put in a proper machine bolt and nut, now it's secure.

 

Finishing up doing a belt and fluid change on the 360.
A big thank you to @EastMemphis for taking the time to make (and share) an excellent collection of tools to help with the job.

Hands down this is one of the best car forums out there!

 

Hi AandSC, been reading this thread and the work you've done looks incredible. Do you by any chance know what type of software and hardware I would need to DIY a Ferrari 360 ECU remap?

 

That IS interesting, mine isn't threaded, just a hole in a plate and the screw went in on an angle

Mine's been monkeyed with as I have an aftermarket amp I just remembered, so who knows...

 

No expert here ..started in this journey but never finished

Sent you a PM since not good enough to post ..I try to only post verified/correct info I tried ..and this is not one of them

thanks so much!

 

Great thread! Had my 360 since October. So far have just done a few minor repairs / changes.

-Replaced clutch MC (with help of wife in our tiny messy garage)
-Replaced seats
-Replaced blown lower speakers with Focal units. Aligned windows to seal better with door and refinished interior door handles at the same time

Looking forward to it's annual this summer, and a major in about 2 years

Someone mentioned a warm up and re-fill procedure for the gearbox that is in the workshop manual.

My mounts "looked OK" but were so done.

Ive got quite a few videos on youtube documenting all the service i've done on my 360, but due to rules here i can't really post links to it as its considered self promotion. So far i've covered:

Engine mounts / Gearbox mount
Timing belts
Variators
Heat exchanger / Thermostat
Intake manifold plenum gaskets
Injector cleaning and rebuilding

All engine maintenance so far, but i have some suspension work to do still.

 

Is that HP Sticky shield on the axel heat shields? If so, that stuff is fantastic and well worth the money paid for it. Used it a bunch on my Viper in the side sills by the doors to keep out the radiant heat and also on the exhaust itself and it made a dramatic improvement.
