    Hello gang, i am getting ready for my major dervice on my 355. I will be buying the parts for it, i know ricambi america has the kit for the service. I will be doing exhaust upgrades to it as well, i am going to be buying a capristo exhaust, anywhere in particular i should buy the capristo from? I will also be upgrading the exhaust manifolds to naperformance. Who sells those? anything else i should be doing to the car while the engine is out?

    Very good. Maybe your cam cover gaskets and seals arent leaking now, but maybe you should replace them while you are there? Incase they are hard/perished. They may not be leaking now, but they may in 6 months time, or they may not till the next cam belt service? Repaint the cam covers if need be and clean/detail the engine while its out? It all depends on how far you wanna go I guess. :)

    Wow. You're going all out! New manifolds & exhaust might as well get rid of the Cats while you're @ it. We have the same year & model 355. I did the 30k in 3 days. I had both small hoses from the coolent reserve split on me after the 30k. You may want to change those while your at it. Its a cheap fix. Does your throttle sticky at all? If so might as well do the throttle cable too. I'm doing it myself this weekend. Good luck! I'm here if you run into some 30k issues.

    Mine is going in next week. In addition to the previous mentioned and standard apparel, we are doing the power steering hoses, tensioners, and a water pump. Oh yeh... and Tubi Headers!
