I'm referring to changing timing belts in less exotic cars but with stuffed engine spaces; eg MB, Lexus, Audi. I had a 2.7T (V6 w/ twin turbos)....
If I was getting Ferrari shop rates, my motivation would be different. ;)
PROBLEM FOUND!!! The air sensor plate was firmly stuck closed. Took a little thumb pressure to free it. Now she's back to normal; started...
My WSM seems to leave engine removal as discretionary; the belt section just gets into the details of the belt replacement process. The front...
The battery is pretty new and cranks fine. I'm thinking fuel issues because I smell no gas after cranking for a while; but as I said fuel...
The factory manuals assume a fully equipped and staffed workshop, not a DIYer working alone in his two-car garage with minimal tools and...

How long was it sitting; minutes or days? If the latter, it's not much of a concern though not proper. If the former, its significant and the...

110,000 miles. Probably an overhaul. Certainly not a new engine.
Old story here. The seller was/is a F-Chat regular. From what I see on TV, exotics at the Boomer car auctions are often real bargains. The...
The funny part is Fram oil filters are recommended in the Owner's Manual along with Lucas and UFI...Baldwin is not.
Congrats! Good decision on shipping too.
The mileage numbers posted here show that "Ferrari" means substantially more than performance and glamor. These are tough cars. It's a shame so...
Having driven a MB diesel to 480K miles on the odo, I have an issue about referring to a 25+ yr old auto with 60K or 70K as "high mileage".
A number of the pro-"drive it" comments are from Europe, where it's difficult to drive 10 km without passing through civilization. Or by those...
