Hello Alfred, When I restored my 3500GT two years ago, none of the two pumps was working. They were both neatly packed into plastic bags: the...
The original manual of 1961 requests to put SAE90 EP in the gearbox. With that kind of oil the gearchange during the 10 first km is very slow,...
Hi Alfred, I have another idea: it could be that something in the pump is worn out or broken. In such a way that the pump makes a good pressure...
Alfred, I hope you have not run the engine too long in this state!!! Because you most probably had LOW OIL PRESSURE : the level was so low that...
If I understand your description well, it is the rubber tube from the oil pan to the pump which vibrates most. This is the succion part of the...
Good, well done! By the way, I did not remove the hood, but removed only the brackets which fix the lower end of the two extensions (?) which...
Hello Mark, To your question: the bellows must be installet upwards. The rubber bellows you show in the picture are differtent to the ones I got...

Hello Carlo, I had my Maserati 3500GT not used for 30 years. When I commissioned the car in 2009, no pump would work. I found both well protected...
Hi Mark, Have you now installed the brake/clutch pedals? I forgot to warn you that the rubber boots (separating the engine bay from our feet)...
My problem is that I do not know how to post pictures..... Wilfried
I had the same problem of leaking oil on my Mk2. I found a simple solution to that problem: installing an electric crankcase ventilation system....
Hello Mark, Have not heared from you for 6 weeks now! What are the progress you made? Regards Wilfried
Hello Alfred, I live in Switzerland and had the problem of finding good tyres for my Maserati 3500GT. First of all I wanted tyres with the 80...
Hello Ivan, What I did: Put the two shoes together with the spings. Slide them behind the disk with the 4 bolts. Unscrew the adjustment scew in...
Hello Mark, I am very well: the 3500GT is already several months stored away, and I have been working on my Aston Martin DB2 to put some small...
