Well then I won't show anyone the alternator that I have been running on my 550 for 5 years now that comes from a John Deere marine motor :-)
Well being that the pump is $50-75 as a non-Ferrari OEM purchase, and based on the fact that I know my pump *looks* old and corroded, I may just...
So John, I replaced the fuse and the car runs and charges normally. I am going to take down the fender tonight and look at the pump. Do you...
Carl, I thought of your fuse board adventures when I read this also, but I can tell you that the footwell of my car is absolutely virgin with no...
This is one of the MANY reasons why I love this forum (and you guys). I discovered that I was out of 7.5A fuses so I couldn't replace last...
Fascinating, but I just developed the SAME problem today in my 1998 550. Went for a nice drive, and 6 minutes into the drive I noticed that the...
The case is the same. The only thing needed was to enlarge the bolt hole slightly for the long bolt that fastens to the block frame.
Best wishes to you Dave...I know exactly what's involved in this operation and I am sure in 3 months you will be feeling like a completely new...
They also didn't put the minimum effort in to vacuum the damn thing. I wonder if the price goes up to $345K if you get them to clean it for you...
Dave, this vehicle you pictured here is NOT a Maranello, no? The lifters appear to be close to aligned vertical with the cams, and NOT angled off...
Problem solved by correctly installing the side plenum gasket. Everything is normal again. Purrs like a liioooonnnn.... :-) Hard to see, but...
Carl, as you probably know I checked those timing marks like 18 times :-) Ground wires, checked. Timing sensor, checked. I have another...
"The Defense Department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid" (Goose, from Top Gun) This is how I feel now....
Very nice! Where did you get that tip? You can't see in my photo, but I am using a right angle tip to do the same thing but mine is not nearly...
Everything seemed to go back together well, and I finished the job today and restarted the motor. Started right up, but as I walked around and...
Things went back together reasonably well with the front cover. Again, it is a real PITA to hold that oil chain sprocket plus chain plus crank...
The mating surfaces were cleaned with acetone, REPEATEDLY. No oil products remained on either mating surface that I could tell. Assembly lube...
Timing cover was reassembled; and I even got a replacement cover in case I have warped the other one over several removals. Trying to ensure no...
Looking carefully at the gearbox drain plug, doesn't seem to be a lot bad going on in there. [ATTACH]
So I began the yearly service while I was waiting for parts. For me, yearly service is engine and gear oil, coolant including block drainage, and...
