    Very cool! Looks like a lot of intricate and hard work! Will you also be replacing the clutch/flywheel during this major service?


    Any pictures of the engine/gearbox numbers since that stuff is visible/accessible in the car's current state?

    If you remove the air pump and hardware, you will need to fab up some block off plates for the head ports, not hard to do at all. Getting all that crap out of there really cleans up the engine bay too.

    The air pumps job is to help reduce emissions during warm-up, and get the precats and cats up to temps quicker. After that it's just extra weight and clutter. If your state has emissions testing, you probably should not remove it. Other than cold starting / warm up emissions, there is no reason to keep the air pump on the car in my opinion.

    Hi ,
    When i bought the TR it didn´t have the air pump , just the surrounding hoses and valves.
    So i think that it´s easier to take the rest out like carguy saied.

    I will post some photos of what i have.

    Since i don´t have the air pump it´s easier to remove the rest.
    On the next photo you can see a unplugged black connector just above the oil pressure valve.

    It was always like that since i have the car.

    Does it have any relation with the air pump system ?

    Thanks for your help

    great work!

    Be careful of jacks. Even jack stands will tip over too. I have heard horror stories of jacks failing and it happened to someone in my neck of the woods. Jack stands toppled over and crushed the guy.

    I believe that that is the connector for the air pump electromagentic clutch. If the wire colors on the two wires in the harness are ZN (violet/black) and RN (red/black) that would confirm it. Here's a shot from Jeff Pintler (circa 2004) where part of the connector is just barely visible at the left side.

    Yesterday we worked on the engine again , this time we confirmed TDC markings on the flywheel .

    We also started taking the plastic fuel lines out to be measured .Dodgy work to do !!!!!!
    I will send an email to Verell with the total amount needed plus 1 silentblock for the gearbox linkage.

    Some new water hoses were placed with new clamps.

    My friend RGigante took his lovely 328 to my house. What a dream garage !!!!

    I got the parts from Ferrari today , so more work during next weekend!!!

    More photos soon

    All the best
