Ferrari Mailing List: Fun laced with a little frustration

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Morning again Friends,

   Earlier this morning I wrote, regarding my '83 Mondial QV,

   Well, I got the exhaust cleaned (its stainless so it cleans up really nicely 
with WD40 and ScotchBrite) and remounted.  Everything went fine, I used new 
bolts, lock washers and nuts and polished the chrome tips.  I then cleaned up 
and went for the keys.  A few minutes later I started the car.  It leaped to 
life, as usual, and sounded great - except for a rattle!  Something is touching 
something in exactly the way that it shouldn't.  So my job is not done.  I've 
got to do some detective work and possibly pull it apart again and figure out 
what's touching what.  Still, its been a fun morning.

Regards,

Rick
