Ferrari 575 DIY Timing Belt Service

[@michaelsturm6213]

This is great. This must be the first and only 575M DIY video on the Internet.

[@normalguysupercar]

There's certainly not much out there

[@WileECoyote007]

Even though I'll never have the "opportunity" to DIY anything on a Ferrari, I found this very informative and enjoyed watching. Your narratives and explanations are great the editing, like all your videos, are done very well.

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@joetrentmann--N0JVW--4REF1]

Loved the special Ferrari tool for holding the flywheel! 😂 Great video!

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol Ferrari approved.

[@toddjones9715]

I've never seen a car with 2 oil filters. Great video Dan. I love that car and the noise the gated shifter makes.

[@normalguysupercar]

There's a few Ferraris that have 2 actually. Mostly their older v12s

[@cobra1010]

Haha, Dan you make me laugh when you say "I don't trust my skills" - and then do a perfect job! You are just cool! 🙂 Best greetings from Switzerland, Boris

[@marklatkowski9327]

Great work! Admirable, my friend. My skills would be tested by the pollen filter replacement.

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol it's all good

[@organiccold]

Easy timing belt in this car, i really like this car, sounds so good and looks great. Good to see you using original good quality UFI oil filters, they are the best. And the kid is so big.. amazing, he was a baby not long ago.

[@normalguysupercar]

He's a giant. He towers over kids twice his age. Lol

[@ddewit1969]

Hey Dan if you aren’t happy with loosing timing one your timing belts change a old mechanic told me a trick just cut the timing belt with a sharp knife length wise in the middle off the belt slide the new belt over the same as the old belt when it’s on perfectly the same cut the other half of old belt away and slide the new belts one always works with this kind of belts.greets from Holland 🇳🇱

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh very interesting idea

[@Cavallino69]

Interesting. I hope my foggy old brain remembers this tip next time I do one.

[@michaelbutcher9343]

Good idea

[@cobra1010]

Dear Dan, thank you so much for sharing this with us!! Fantastic! You are a real buddy! You know, I will be picking up my first 575 on saturday, so all information is helpfull! Thank you! I will keep watching your video now 🙂

[@normalguysupercar]

Congrats!

[@michaelsturm6213]

Congrats on the 575 -- you'll love it!

[@billhenley6605]

As an owner of an ‘05 612, which shares the 575’s powerplant, I love this DIY. Did you see that a factory 6 speed 575 sold for $400k today on BaT?

[@normalguysupercar]

Geeze that's nuts

[@jato62]

Shifter sounds great

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh yes

[@na-uu4nw]

Great job Dan! Excellent work. Very impressive.

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@briannfs2]

Yay! timing belts! 🎉

[@normalguysupercar]

I mean, I guess yay? LOL

[@briannfs2]

I’ve done a LOT of timing belts so I was being silly 🙃 ha

[@stevenf7683]

Great job Dan! Looked like that belt was a royal PITA!

[@normalguysupercar]

The hardest part was the crank pulley.

[@stevenf7683]

@@normalguysupercar Yeah, but that one belt had to come off how many times? That made it a Royal PITA to me.

[@colmart1973]

Enjoyed that Dan, knew it was going to hard to get that big pully off and on again!, nice job on the heater fix👍🇮🇪

[@normalguysupercar]

That pulley was the hardest part. The rest wasn't so bad

[@yamahasnowmoblielove]

Love these videos

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@1855Media]

Great content. It would be interesting to hear how many hours it took you start to finish vs. what a belt service like this would be expected to cost at a reputable independent shop?

[@normalguysupercar]

It took about 6-8 hours of work

[@Ultra96706]

Way to go man!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@SeunJacob-k2n]

Wow great work

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MS28227]

Love these videos!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@jerrypeevey]

Well ,,,, you made that all look easy enough !

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah... It wasn't. Lol

[@ndpesicgroup]

Great diy video !!! Thank you !!!

[@normalguysupercar]

Glad you liked it!

[@jrodsrides8945]

good job! Dan, I was hoping to be there to help you do that timing belts and probably do the gaskets.😎

[@normalguysupercar]

Maybe next time? Lol

[@155stw]

I’m doing my 4C’s belt next week. So watching your do a V12. Is a good source of inspiration for me. And why did you say He-Man put the oil filter on? Don’t discriminate Dan, it could have been She-Ra….

[@normalguysupercar]

True. Either way it was on very tight

[@andrewbuckley2892]

Nice work ! Ferrari charges so much for that work! Next time I will be brave and have ago !! Cheers Andrew

[@normalguysupercar]

You can do it!

[@michaelrobinson5592]

Good job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@davidrogers1964]

Why is the engine light on? Great video.

[@normalguysupercar]

It was just some electrical BS that was unrelated

[@hughmann1908]

Omg, that major is huge! What are parts versus parts and labour at the stealership? Thanks for the DYI stuff!

[@normalguysupercar]

Parts $1500. Probably $4-5k at a dealership all in

[@gregmtech]

the belts on that V12 are harmonicly tensioned ; you need to set the tensioners manually until the belts resonate to the corect frequency. that being said ; they are just like any other belt on another car ; as long as they are not loose or mega tight ; the fact we are asked to change them so regularly makes them not really an issue on longevity. ( 550 owner here ) ive had E30s with belts 5 times more millages than ferrari tells us to do it ; and some that where close to 15years old not showing any sign of fatigue ( after inspection and replacement preventivly )

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah honestly these belts were in perfect condition. But once you're already in there might as well put in the new ones.

[@gregmtech]

@@normalguysupercar so true; every time they look new ... but as you said ; while you're in there ... and considering the cost of parts and or a block ; best not risk it ;)

[@supermotos]

There is a phone app for the harmonic check that I’ve seen used for Ducati timing belts that use the same method, it seems accurate.

[@normalguysupercar]

Interesting, I'll have to try that.

[@TheJaredsalinsky]

Great job man. As a manual 456 owner, I will be using this video in the future to do my major. Keep up the awesome videos! How long have you had your manual 575?

[@normalguysupercar]

We had it about a year

[@Selmerpilot]

I see that’s my water pump my company manufactures and designed. We designed the shaft seal to be far more robust than stock, using viton material. The prototypes were torture tested for 90 hours straight. Superformance, AW and some others sell them

[@normalguysupercar]

Very cool!

[@sp4604]

my dream car. would u ever tune the ECU and install a Flammenghi race exhaust w headers?

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Nice job Dan. I see you blurred out the speedometer. 😄

[@MrJbipes]

for speed or miles?

[@normalguysupercar]

Nefarious activities.

[@RyanV78665]

were you not able to pressurize because the tstat was closed?

[@normalguysupercar]

That could be.

[@RenAndShrimpy]

When I buy it, might get you to do oil etc again, in 6 months ?

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm not sure why you'd want to change the oil in 6 months unless you've driven it quite a bit.

[@RenAndShrimpy]

@@normalguysupercar just to make sure all is ok, as you said didn’t no the service history. Let’s talk when you are ready to sell it. :) one beautiful car, enjoy.

[@normalguysupercar]

@@RenAndShrimpy I changed the oil in this video. I have some offers on the car already. Feel free to throw your hat in the ring if you'd like.

[@todi5088]

"Check engine light is on.... everything is good here!" :)

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol the light works!

[@freddaniali]

If it aint broke don't fix it.... very smart move!

[@normalguysupercar]

I think so.

[@kevinmanning8214]

You fixed the heat, but now your speedometer’s all fuzzy…🤔

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol damn fuzzy Speedo

[@SeunJacob-k2n]

Wow but y is Ferrari using 2 oil filter

[@normalguysupercar]

That's just what they did

[@mavericknonconformist69721]

I am not a Kennady, but I like it

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks!

[@markheld995]

Is this a old video you put 9-23

[@normalguysupercar]

September of 2023 is this month so???

[@juliandrake3159]

I'm sure Ferrari makes a flywheel holding tool. Probably costs a thousand dollars though for something you'll likely only use once.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I think Hill engineering does

[@kfrdubber]

Lots of grunting removing the oil filters. Not enough for a drinking game.

[@normalguysupercar]

LOL

[@alistairblane9458]

Scary! Are any of you guys Ferrari trained? Guess it's your own car, own risk...

[@93LT1RamAir]

Kinda the point of the channel

[@normalguysupercar]

No I'm not, never claimed to be.

[@fldigger]

If you feel you need training to change oil and belts then you should probably stay away from car maintenance

[@alistairblane9458]

​@@93LT1RamAirSorry, I thought they were professionals, my mistake 🙁

[@alistairblane9458]

​@@fldiggerI'm ok with my 2001 Toyota, but I'll steer clear of Ferraris, thanks for the advice 😊

[@haroldmclean3755]

Good job 👍😀

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks 😁
