Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Changing fuel injectors

[Matt Boyd (ferrari308driver]

Rui,

I didn't go as far as Britt did.  One thing I did was remove the intake
manifolds.  As a result, I sheared off several studs, thus necessitating
flatbedding my half-apart 308 to a machine shop to drill out the studs,
helicoil them, etc.

Before you go too far, ask yourself if you could possibly be just as happy
leaving it as is.  :-)
