    I am hoping someone has some instructions for the timing belt replacement on my 1981 308 GTSi.

    Before anyone makes a rash decision about my ability to perform this task, heres my background. I have been working in the auto industry for the last 9 years, hold a college degree in Automotive Technology, am an ASE certified master tech and turn wrenches for a living. This is my first Ferrari and I just want to make sure there is nothing specific to do that may throw me for a loop. If anyone has a breakdown with/without pictures of the directions for the timing belt replacement on my car it would be helpful. Im sure I can figure it out without directions but with some help it would definitely make it easier. Thanks for the help everyone.

    I am none of the things that you are, I'm just a serious shade tree mechanic. Go here :

    he has it all, I have owned my car, a 328 for less than three weeks, I spent one week waiting on parts, it took 8 hours with two of us working on my car, take away 45 minutes looking for a lost A/C bushing and you are in for a long, but casual day.

    Worked fine.

    It really isn't as difficult as it may appear.
