Ferrari Mailing List: Re: '81 308 reaction tie rod

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Hello Mike- first, I guess we are pointing at the rear rod from the valve 
cover to the bulkhead - right?  If so, will the engine move? - I hope not. 
Secondly, how to replace those bushings.  I did on some suspension parts and 
ended up using a car jack from the foundation of our house into a cement 
bulkhead - tho a guess a sturdy bench vise for smaller parts would work too. 
Careful tho - A LOT of energy getting those things in there and if they are 
one half degree off center can do serious damage to anything surrounding 
them (read - you) if the dang thing goes ka-BOING.  Just a thot.
