Replying to my own post, so that the info is shared. Other people did the same in different topics regarding the water pump rebuild, but just FYI:...
Replying to the old post - just because I've done the rebuild on my own: - the seal must be in the "squeezed" position when you are inserting the...
Follow up: So taken apart the 575 and a 355 water pump. Respectively 2002 and 1995. Apart very small differences in outside body, bearings and...
I have seen your post fatbillybob and will follow it. 575/550/456/355/612 pump bodies are all very similar (even identical i would say). Impellers...
I wonder why I am the first finding the issue. The answer might be very simple: I am the first one which after fitting, thought it would be a good...
Thanks rifledriver. I have checked and found out why the o ring is getting cut/jammed each time. Actually ricambi or oring from Ferrari (part...
Hello, I am in the process of fitting a new water pump on my 575. I’ve bought the water pump from ricambi complete with o ring. I’ve got the old...
Had a closer look to this particular shaft cap. So, the one which is upside down, looks like this: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I would still go in...
Well well, did use the matchbook trick. It works ok to block the camshafts for removal. It did not work for me when torquing the camshaft pulleys...

Hello, still continuing my major on the 575. Car has 30.000 kms and all seems original in the car and I have no records indicating that a major...
Yes I will use the shaft caps and it is going to be fine. I had a 355 and done two times the major on it. In one case had the engine out because...
I've used this on my 355 between the pulleys to avoid them from spinning when unbolting them. From what I recall, the bolts were strongly torqued,...
Thanks for the different advises. I've continued to check with old belts on and found out that actually on each pulley there are 2 marks. 1 much...
If I block the cams and keep the references of the pins at the same exact place, then put back the pulley, shouldn't be sufficient ?
Car run fine with this setup. I will simply keep the cams to the internal timing marks on the caps + shafts and replace the timing belts. I have a...
Thanks for these replies.. very much appreciated. At the moment whatever I do, the notches on the 4 different pullies never aligns to the others...
Hello, reading a lot the forum but never posted a lot. I have a question which I hope you can reply on. Probably even very easy and obvious but...
Problem solved - vibration coming from a panel.
Hello, I'm not writing that much on the forum but I'm actually reading a lot and learning a lot as well from FC. I wanted to share my...
