    I have a buddy that lives in Northern California, he owns a 1990 348tb. Approximately 30k miles on it. Well kept, always serviced, ususally by Ferrari of San Francisco, recently had a major/30K service, has put about 1000 miles on his car since, recently saw his temp go up, not overheat, but much higher then normal, and it is 40 degrees up there. Checked his oil looked good and clean. Tiny bubbles, but that is normal. Checked his coolant and it was milky? Was told by Ferrari of San Francisco he may have a Head issue on his car. Any idea the cost of doing the top end on a 348? Ferrari of San Francisco, said somewhere above $10K ? That seems to be outrageous to me, what do you guys think?

    First I think it is the head gasket and second $10K plus is way too high, do a search call around and if your buddy lives up in Northern Cal. there are few good independent F specialist in the Bay Area. Rifledriver (Brian) is one of the specialist give him a call.
