Your points are well taken! This is why for the owners and the technician IMHO it's imperative to fully document what was done so that you know and can come back to the info if and when there may be a dispute. In the aviation world it's the 'law' because of the heightened safety requirements of safe flight(you can't just pull over and check when things go wrong at altitude). It's also valuable information if you want to sell your Ferrari and/or have a PPI done.

This is precisely why I have done all my own work for so many years. If something gets screwed up, I know exactly who did it, where and when. I did the top end on my 2+2 four years ago and had a very similar problem; thankfully, I caught it before the cams got scored...and I made sure I had all the parts to do my GTC, which doesn't need it yet. The prices of internal mechanical parts for older Ferraris have skyrocketed, and they sure ain't gonna be coming down, so maintenance is even more crucial than ever. I keep telling people who ask me about vintage Ferraris to ALWAYS have the car inspected by a competent specialist. And that means a real, detailed appraisal of condition...like pulling the valve covers. It won't be cheap, but it's cheaper than buying a nice-looking time bomb. Good video...but "a little bit more expensive"?? Hmmm...what would a LOT more expensive look like?

@@tomyangnet I keep running into people who've been royally screwed on old cars (and mostly NOT Ferraris) because they didn't have even a modest idea of what makes a car in worthwhile condition. Cruel as it sounds, let the buyer beware is still an operative idea. I'm an old guy, and I've had all my cars and bikes for dogs' years, but I always got informed before pursuing a purchase....even when I had lots of money coming in. So many fellows these days see shiny paint and lovely upholstery and have no idea what a compression test is!

Another Utube channel I follow is an engine builder/ dyno tuner of muscle car Mopars. He has a similar problem with inferior quality parts. Usually valve train parts, flat tappet cams for instance. They say some engine builders are going to roller cams instead of flat tappet to avoid the angst of failure down the road. Does the Ferrari factory offer anything for rebuilding their cars? I'm sure if they did the cost would be pretty high. Good looking out before those parts let go.
@tomyangnet3 ай бұрын
@@gitchermotrrunnin the factory gets their parts pretty much from the same suppliers as I do. There are some mods you can do to the valve train, but I don’t think the benefit outweighs the complexity. Other builders may disagree. Thanks for watching.
