Typical Ferrari oil checking: Run engine for brief time, stop engine, after 30 seconds to 1 minute, check oil. Wipe off stick as usual in doing so.
I use a twin post made by Weaver, now owned by Rotary. On some low cars I need to use a scissors jack after getting the car in place to raise it...
Don't know of any particular shop. I bought two Facet #476007 pumps years ago and they work fine, as well as match the original. Doing a web...
As the valve face and valve seat (in the head) wear, the valve recedes into the head, making it sitck up further on the top.
This car has no chassis mods. Look at the width of the vertical brace in the center of the front inner wheel well. Rear side marker lights too...
I have discussed this gear ratio change at length with my partner, who is a retired design engineer from Borg-Warner Transmission Division. We see...
One other, albeit minor, issue is that of the speedometer. Roelofs does not offer a different speedo drive gear set. Many years ago, there was a...
I too would be interested in this, but an old time and very experienced Ferrari service guy gave me the same advice as Tom Shaughnessy's comment....
Prancing Horse 77 only contains a comment by then Editor Howard Payne saying that he had the struts replaced by a company in PA called The Gas...
The Barrett Jackson auction made me angry enough to write in and complain to the television channel covering it. Only one Daytona was there, and...
The VW cam bearing modification is done as a repair to cylinder heads with severe damage to the camshaft bore. Our shop has done several of these...

dry4re, Congrats on the car. I don't think you spent too much, and here's why. The last two I've done wound up in that range after receiving all...
Tony, That's a very good question. Odd, because during judging a car begins with 100 points and deductions are taken from there. Perhaps this is...
John, See my last post in the V12 rebuild cost thread for starters.
This has become a great thread. Lots of good input here. Dave Helms comment about what was done in the past is dead on. Most of the engines I've...
I've done many. Doing a piecemeal job is a mistake. Once the engine is opened up, virtually everything should be checked, tested, inspected....
I've used a two post made by Weaver (Now Rotary) for 16 years without incident. It's a great help. If you have the space, this is the way to go as...
db cooper, You're absolutely right! You obviously have seen a lot of these, as everything you mention is common. Guess what I meant to say was...
