    That looks spot on that Steve.

    Is that a standard level of service for a belt change, or are you spending some of your hard earned polishing the beast up? Are you selling it?

    Wow that is just toooo cool!! I've seen a few Testarossa engine-outs...had mine out twice...but that's the first time I've seen pics of an F512M service. Thank You so much for sharing it with us! I'm going to be looking at them...and drooling....for a while.

    It surprises people how dirty the boxer 12s can get in a TR, but you have to understand the fans suck air through the radiators and blow it back on the engine. That's why they have such a messy area on the cam covers.

    Your engine looks just terrific!

    if anybody wants any more pictures i have 58 of them i will email them if anybody wants them these was taken but the mechanic and put on a cd rom to go in with the service history he does this to all ferraris he works on which i think is an added bonus to a stamp in the service book and an invoice

    answer to little bro yes i would sell it if ferrari would make a newer car with 12 cylinders in the rear in RHD

    Great job.....However, that's not a belt job, it's an engine restoration.

    The after shots look just great, but it's amazing what a mess the engine was before all the work.

    I think you've set a new standard for us.

    Cheers
