Demoralized is an understatement. Driving to the shop just to take a snapshot of damaged valves for this "chat" is a waste of time. Thanks for...
QUICK UPDATE: My car has been in the shop now for 158 days with no "start date" despite purchasing a newly rebuilt engine replacement back in...
I sold the Scorpion in 1984 for around $5,000. The vehicle hasn't appreciated in value much due to its Fiat 1.8 liter engine.
I once lost it coming out of turn 3 in my Lancia Scorpion while following a Europa... I backed off as I came upon the Europa too quickly and...
Jason: Will do and it would be a pleasure to ride with you and learn the track in your 348 Challenge. Here I am in the late '70's in my Lancia.
I so want to track my 348 but it's not back from the shop (remember the engine let-go) and I'm apprehensive about pushing it with its new-to-me...
Sorry Targatime that you feel that way.
I haven't visited the car in a while and I neglected to take photographs of the damage. The technician did though (as well as document the rebuild...
The purchase of a California would be a nightmare for me... Perhaps selling my 348 and my AMV8 S to purchase a F430 and converting it to a manual...
In just 19 months of ownership I'm into this car $72,000... and the work isn't done yet. I paid just $41,348 for it. The used 1992 348 engine...
Regarding photographs of the damage... I'll have them but I doubt I'll have them until the much later this month... I will definitely post them.
It's funny how my "blown engine" thread has been hijacked... but I also have a 2013 Aston Martin Vantage S (manual) which I originally leased and...
Not yet. I managed to locate a used '92 348 motor which will replace my original '90 motor... mileage difference is just 5K miles... it will gone...
That did cross my mind. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Nope... that didn't happen on my watch... nor over-raving without load.
I went to the shop and saw the damage... the technician took photographs so I'll have photographs later. I'm really at a loss as to how this...
Sorry for the delay but the tear-down revealed that a valve bucket and shim let loose causing the cam to basically jam and freeze hence the...
Targatime: Go easy on me... the engine failed and I didn’t “money shift” my 348. I did accelerate “hard” to about 7,000 rpm on the Garden State...
I was merely accelerating after slowing for the toll booth. I may have hit 7,000 rpm’s but that’s doubtful due to traffic... I’m looking at a...
