WE YANKED THE ENGINE OUT OF HIS FERRARI!!! Ferrari 348 DIY Major Part 3

[@mariodesmo]

Kudos to the car's owner, for taking on a huge challenge. It's obviously his first time! Are they opening up the engine or just replace a bunch of serviceable parts? Good stuff here for gear heads! As for people getting on your car, I just don't park at busy places and leave my car. Or I'll park it away from where people are gathering, walking around, hanging around, etc....

[@normalguysupercar]

You don't normally have to pull the heads but you should pull the cams.

[@Rhaspun]

If I'm stopping at a restaurant for a quick meal. I always park away from the restaurant and if possibly I try not to drive across the front of the restaurant.

[@airmike1271]

Wow, that is a labor of love! Several months ago, I did my first head gasket replacement job on a v-6. It took me 9 days. If I bought a Ferrari like this, wow, it would probably take me a year to pull that engine out and put it back together. Great video and inspiring 👍

[@sw651]

I am amazed at this project. The views of the engine, transmission, suspension, it seems overwhelming. I hope everything goes smoothly. Can't wait to see the car going down the road again, with a smile on the driver's face.

[@normalguysupercar]

It's not been as hard as it would seem..

[@wldsnk]

You guys remind me of that married with children episode when they are installing a satellite dish. You guys are funny.

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha perfect

[@col_klynkgaming8288]

Totally jealous that you and your friends are doing all this amazing Ferrari stuff! My uncle has a 328 and a Testarossa (original owner) and that’s what started my love for the cars in the 90s and it’s only grown more by watching your great videos Dan!

[@normalguysupercar]

Badass. I hope to do a Testarossa some day. Similar but a little more difficult and expensive.

[@col_klynkgaming8288]

No matter what you’re working on I know it will be some good videos!

Thank you

[@themessenger5868]

Great vid's on the 348 Dan. I know that the 348 and the Mondial QV are two different animals, but 4 hrs to do a complete cam belt job on my Mondial is why I won't go up to the 348. They are super cool, but being a "normal guy" it's just way too much effort and cost. A cam belt job on my Mondy costs me $250 AU. Because of the ease in cost and maintenance, you can afford to keep them in really good condition. Cheers.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah the ease of transverse vs longitudinal. Lol

[@bstrang6]

The Dubai guy was just wanting to give you a gift. Its part of their culture. You missed out on a free gold ring lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Perhaps but I guess I'm too skeptical of anyone doing things like that to think there isn't something bad about to happen.

[@Rhaspun]

@@por964 I ran into a scammer similar to the one mentioned in the linked article. They wanted some cash and after I told them I don't carry cash the dude wanted me to use my ATM to get some cash. He offered a gold chain in exchange for $100. I told him I'm not interested in gold jewelry and kept on walking to my car. Keep on walking stay aware of his position.

[@Patrick94GSR]

“I did my own engine out, but I smashed a couple valves” aw man you shouldn’t have said those words!! 😂😂😂

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah little did I know I just jinxed us...

[@ReviewedByAndy]

I’ve done a lot of DIY on my cars and usually hate it, but it might be worth it to own a 355. I would never be able to afford to pay a shop for the service but since it would be a second car I could take my time with the job.

[@tedshirai6747]

Amazing job! Tons of work. I’m tired just watching. Nice to have the Ferrari technician on overwatch duty.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah Josh is a life saver

[@michaelgiordano2093]

What a big job.... nice to have friends that know what they are doing...😁😁

[@normalguysupercar]

For sure that helps

[@ricsu3462]

oh my god holy shit...great awesome work, fantastic documentation. But man am i intimated to own one of these. You either need a lot of money and confidence to let others do such a work on it, or you have to be super handy and be blessed with unlimited time. Mind blowing amount of work. I dont think i can sleep all i will think about is trying to remember which bolts go where lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha that's why you film it or take pictures as you go. And use lots and lots of ziplock baggies.

[@JayDKB]

Damn the kids sitting on the car would send me off the deep end, Oh HELL NO!

[@normalguysupercar]

It's pretty frustrating. But they are kids so you can't kill them.

[@JayDKB]

@@normalguysupercar you a nice dude and I agree killings a little harsh. But a foot to the ass is definitely doable:)

[@mariodesmo]

@@normalguysupercar Yes you can. It would be totally justifiable! Just get the right jury...

[@normalguysupercar]

I have pushed a kid off my car once and I yelled at another that was hanging from my side view mirror like it was monkey bars. The parents of that kid got all pissed, and I said "I just saved you $5k" and they shut up.

You're welcome

[@mikemorrissey4543]

Great video, I must admit I was nervous watching!

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha yup

[@discogodfather22]

Man, this seems IMPOSSIBLE to do without a 2 post lift. Also with the dry sump it seems so much more complicated on the hoses and lines, etc. All the electronics. Is it easier on a 308/Mondial?

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes the engines in the 308 and early Mondials are transverse mounted so you can do the belts with the engine still in the car.

[@lityear4604]

Isn’t this the Ferrari they bought from out of state and you accompanied them and it was trailered back to Texas six months ago. I remember they test drove it and gave it a clean bill of health.

[@normalguysupercar]

We trailered it him from Knoxville. It was in good shape but we knew it needed the belts and other maintenance items.

[@opethmike]

I've caught people trying to open the doors of my DeLorean when I've come out of stores. Unreal.

[@normalguysupercar]

Wow that's bad. I had people just jump in my car at a cars and coffee before. Baffling.

[@opethmike]

@@normalguysupercar Yeah, drives me nuts. Sorry to hear you've experienced similar.

[@jackvanepps7301]

Oof

[@HollywoodF1]

Really depends on where you live- I drive a DeLorean, too. The culture in Southern California is you’re more likely to get your ass beat if you touch someone’s car than if you touch their wife. Even little kids know the drill.

[@dannewton5363]

That’s awesome it’s out, i enjoy these videos Dan, btw Samcracc here on youtube is having trouble with his 360 spider and i commented on his video that he should try to contact you to maybe get your opinion and or help but with how many comments he gets it’ll probably go unnoticed🤷🏻‍♂️but hey i enjoyed the video and figured I’d at least tell you about this👍

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh, I may go check on that video and see if it's something I may actually know about. And thanks for the shout out. 😁👍

[@EA40]

Now I wanna get a 348 and rebuild it to Hillclimb...

[@normalguysupercar]

That would be fun

[@ralphralphin]

This is going to take 5 or 6 times (at least) to put back in as it did to yank out. but its been entertaining to watch.

[@normalguysupercar]

Probably!

[@surfdaze]

I want to do the same on a 355 I plan on getting. :) I will keep ricambia america in mind :) I do love the DIY vids :)

[@normalguysupercar]

Heck yeah I encourage this.

[@quicktraderz6854]

Hi. You said that Shell reads the comments, so here goes. If Shell wants to market their gas more, they need to figure out why people do not know about how good their gas is. Or why spend the extra money vs. no name gas. Ask people where their local Shell station is and I bet 90 % don't know. Create a contest named Name that Shell (as in where it is) or name the 4 things their gas corrects and if they get it right, give them a gas card. Create a jingle that people can't get out of their head. But do something... If it were me, I would do everything to get a Ferrari Club endorsement, and go club by club. And oh yes, send Stan a gift card,,,LOL

[@normalguysupercar]

Well they do sponsor the FCA.. 😁

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! That's the easy part... :-)

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@apriliaracing7]

Almost finished!

[@normalguysupercar]

Well not really

[@TheMentalblockrock]

At this point, $20k dollars on a full engine out service at a Ferrari dealership is looking very good value, WHAT A BALL ACHE!

[@normalguysupercar]

It's a lot of work for sure.

[@MEGLITatUT]

Lol, "what a ball ache."

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

Its not the yanking out part that concerns me. Its the proper putting it back, to spec. The stuff of nightmares...

[@normalguysupercar]

True

[@staneyler]

Hi. Can you do a video about which Ferrari's will have the most depreciation and which ones are about the bottom and will probably appreciate, and take into account the repairs costs of an older one - like the F50 scares me - change the belts takes repairs to a whole new level even a billionaire would cry... I like the 430 Spider your friend drives that smokes the cigar but how much for annual maintenance if I drive it 7000 miles per year? Oh yes, if I buy a car to drive, better to buy a low mileage one or one that has high miles and I will pay less? Thanks.

[@normalguysupercar]

I'll consider this

[@crazykevin4388]

Maybe the guy was asking for your hand in marriage?! LOL

[@normalguysupercar]

[@revinot]

WOW to think this was part of normal Ferrari ownership on a 348 or 355. Still gonna get a 355 though :-)

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha yup

[@neoanderson7]

Don't get me wrong, I love Ferrari, but having to do an engine out service is a total nightmare! Gotta have alot of time, patience and money to do this. Not to mention a lift! I think I'll stick to my rotary vehicles. I contemplated getting an F355.. but after seeing all this.. forget it.. Pretty car! But not worth the headache for the little time I'm able to drive it. Not to mention my RX-7 will outperform it by a large margin... :-) P.S. 1 of the main reasons why I don't take my car anywhere if I know I'm going to need to park it. You never know what idiots decide to pose with the vehicle so they end up sitting on it, touching it, or breathing on it. No respect!

[@normalguysupercar]

I think there's something endearing about having to suffer like this too have a passionate car. It sorta puts you in a "club" if like minded freaks. Lol!

[@neoanderson7]

@@normalguysupercar Endearing? LOL Sure, you can say that since you're the one filming all this ordeal. Yes, I know you've done a good share of your work on your own cars. But none of them needed an engine out service. Look at this nightmare? You think anyone wants to put themselves through this to own such a vehicle??? And it's not even the pretty F355.. it's the "awful" 348. ROFL. Alas, there are no such "like minded" people around my area. Everyone is always driving the latest and greatest... :-( I miss the good old days...

[@grahaminkpen5436]

What were Ferrari thinking of with that design. Like the car though. 👍

[@normalguysupercar]

Well, that was back when the attitude was, "if you can afford a Ferrari..."

[@grahaminkpen5436]

That’s very true, but still if that had been a Brit or American design it would have been slated, the Italians can get away with it. 🤑. How about the new Stingray however, I think there may may well be cancelled orders for other cars. The price for you guys is a real game changer for a mid engine car. Let’s hope it meets the launch hype, and making it right hand drive too. I can see them struggling to meet demand, can’t be bad, I lover it, which says something as I never give American cars a second thought, but this looks special.

[@jpdosey730]
