    I have been following the many DIY threads to setting the timing on a 348 and I am getting very frustrated. I want to do the work myself for several reasons, the satisfaction and the cost savings. I have been working on cars for over 20 years almost always American muscle cars and have done full restorations, engine work, transmission work etc. This is the first Ferrari I have owned.

    I have a degree wheel setup and have been following the various instructions on how to do this and I can't seem to get the timing to come out correctly.

    Is there anyone in the Columbus Ohio area that has experience on this process? I am willing to pay for the assistance and want to get this car back on the road. I know there are several places here in town that could do this job but I wanted to be able to put this back together myself.

    What is it that you have tried and what is it that is the problem?
    What method of cam timing have you done? I found that the center line method works very well for the 348.

    If you figure it out and feel ambitious, if you could video the process and explain it clearly to us morons who consider it black magic, and stick it on Youtube, you would do a great service to all. If you can't figure it out, go with the factory marks...
