Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Maserati Merak

[Brian Keegan (bks281]

The cam chain over the forward bank intake cam sprocket was only hitting on 
about three teeth, and if the chain tension got loose, they had a tendency to 
jump a few teeth, resulting in bent valves. Not a rocket ship by a long shot, 
but they had a nice growl to them. Comfy seats and good driving 
position/visibility over the nose of the car.

Sort of like a "baby " Bora. Now the Bora was a actually quite a spirited car 
to drive.
