The belt is responsible for the timing of the various strokes of the engine, including the opening and closing of the valves at the right time, so...
on all the cylinders of the first bank and none on the second bank?
I agree, 1/4 of the engine going at 33% is not good. But i wonder if the issue is not that bad, considering this car is overdue a service. Could...
And what do you see in this compression test? What do you think could be the cause?

I went to see it today. There's a gap between 2014 and 2024, then had this big service in 2024. The car had no kilometers put on it in those ten...
It seems that the current owner bought it last year... red flag?
Did you have a look? You're serious?
Thanks for the answers! The service was performed by the most respected (licensed) Ferrari service in The Netherlands, so I do not think it's as...
