Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 engine out service how much? actually need

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

what kind of sealant did you use I have spent untold hours removing and cleaning my valve covers and heads I may go dry, use hylomar on the top only, may both sides, maybe use some grease on the head?????

I do not want to go through this again. I spent at least 100 hours on the gasket areas..............

Robert,

 

Matt Boyd (me) has done a timing belt change and valve adjustment on his 308 in a weekend. I logged my hours and it took 25 hours. I am not a mechanic, and some of those hours were wasted trying to figure out the best way to do things (for example how to deal with removing the A/C compressor and moving it out of the way without breaking lines, etc.). If Matt Boyd can do it in 25 hours, a real mechanic can probably do that in 10 hours or less.

 

Note, this is not a full 30k service, but just the timing belt and valve adjustment.

 

Parts were a couple hundred dollars ($400, as I recall, to include cam belts, cam belt tensioners, gaskets, distributor seals, the o-rings on the other end of the cams at the pulley end, etc.).
