Ferrari 360 Timing Belts and Manual Conversion Finished on the Unpimp My Ride Project

[@kevinmanning8214]

Another high-quality job done by the NGS crew! Now, if you could get a certain Ferrari mechanic over to add a lot more quacks to your videos, you guys could get really really good! 😂😂

Hey Dan thanks for the keychain that you sent with the armrest.

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha you're welcome

[@scottmaz4063]

Great job guy's well done

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@jacksmith8002]

I may give you guys some crap, from tie to time, but I'm impressed with your ability to tackle most projects that would make many pucker up and cry - well done

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@realbogus]

The 360 is sweet. I drove one a few years back... and I am in lust.. so sexy. I wish it had been a manual... still, felt like a 4 wheel Superbike. That 8500 RPM red line is intoxicating.

[@normalguysupercar]

Heck yeah

[@js3602]

Nice work gents! Glorious transformation. I really enjoy this content. You can replace my timing belts anytime!

[@normalguysupercar]

Ugh. Timing belts. Lol

[@arjenwennekes]

Hi Dan, Just info. The hose can stay on, just undo it from the box. The cover then can wiggle free to your right side towards you. Just fits through. Saves a lot of messing around with coolant… I did the same actually today on my 360. belt service…yeah…😬

[@normalguysupercar]

I figured changing it the coolant would be good to do anyways

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Dan, I know what you did wrong on the timing belts............................................. you didn't video it. LOL You're certaining doing a great job unpimping the 360. I liked how you showed a close up of the shift mechanism at the trans.

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks!

[@Charly_Dont_Surf]

It could use some curb feelers but otherwise outstanding work!

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol

[@greypoupon12]

There are only a handful of independent Ferrari shops here in Northern & Southern California that do maintenance work and probably would not take on a gated conversion. You should be proud.

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks! I am!

[@thechallengestradale]

Before I type this, I do want you to know that I’m not telling you what to do. I don’t want it to come across that way. You already know what you are doing and therefore own a successful business. We both have nothing to prove. Ok. With that said, some things. You’ve got a helluva nice garage and tools. Buy the HE flywheel lock tool to use from now on. You know that won’t be your last 360 timing belt change. 😉 Also, you should try and check the actual timing of each cam and adjust it to spec with the new belt. The exhaust cams can easily be checked with your reader after it is back together. Better to do it before with dial gauges. The intake cams are harder and you can only check them with dial gauges. You’d be amazed how off they can become after 20 years of just lock and swaps at even Ferrari dealerships. Get this….all 4 of mine were in the far ends of spec and the exhaust cams were 3° off bank to bank. Should 0°. My intake cams were 4° off bank to bank. Freaking crazy! Anyways, good job with the transformation.

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@chenglo8999]

Youve come quite a ways Dan. Master Ferrari mechanic soon! I actually enjoy your DIY skills so dont succumb to the haters or geniuses and edit out your work ie belt change in this case.

Great video and historical edits/cuts at the beginning of the depimping. Like others have said, would love to see how ur painter fixes the the roof and pillars if that opportunity presents.

[@juliandrake3159]

I'm sure Ferrari makes a really expensive flywheel holding tool you can buy to keep the crank from turning while removing/tightening the crank pulley bolt.

[@normalguysupercar]

Hill engineering does. I'm not spending $400 when the $5 extension works. 😁

[@stopmaverick2]

OMG SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!🎉🍻 Wish I could buy it. Perfect drivers car! Now that yall are getting the conversions down, I'm gonn have to bring the ol' F430 up one day, soon as I'm ready!💰💰🕹️

Dan screw the haters, if you do not have anything nice to say keep you mouth shut. Thank You for the content Dan, so how much does a timing belt service generally cost on a ferrari? Again you guys rock!

[@normalguysupercar]

A simple belt device like that is usually in the $3k range plus or minus

[@dominickberarducci1183]

Sick, carweek just around the corner

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah

[@ke0kie]

Is there any good way to inspect the heat exchanger w/o removing the intake? The aged ones are going to fail and mix coolant/oil which of course as you know will grenade the gearbox, not sure what the current state of tech / or way to be proactive about the heat exchanger outside proactively swapping it

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm not sure honestly but being proactive and changing it every decade or so is a good idea. Plus changing the coolant every major or so.

[@michaelrobinson5592]

Good job 👍

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thelaw300]

Dan, I was hoping to see the full belt install; sorry to hear about criticism discouraging that. The access looks fantastic for a fairly enjoyable job. What are your thoughts? Also thank you for depimping the car. It looked like a prototypical C8 decked out with a JC Whitney shopping spree.

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha the pimping was horrible

You guys ever worry about future repercussions for the work you did as far as not being a licensed repair shop or licensed technicians? Asking since these cars are for resale. Appreciate the content!

Nope. We sell them as is.

Nice work! completely different car now! Did you trip the airbag light starting it with the seats out? What tool did you use to reset it? Just did this on mine (first time changing belts)....tried to be careful, and of course caused an issue!
