Hi Gang â .
If the factory makes one of these reproduction engine
blocks (is that theyâre called? or is there no distinction other than the star?)
is the engine built to modern tolerances? Iâm told the reason
many new cars (like Porsches â sorry, itâs what I know) use 0W30 or 0W40 because
of tighter tolerances â just wondering if the new block would be to tighter
tolerances made possible by better machining equipment and techniques?
then again, how could they *not* build them to modern standards?
And if Ricky works on it are the tolerances cut in half?

The only issue IMHO is if the owner attempts to misrepresent a car saying it has a completely original engine when it in fact received a new one. Other than that, a new motor built by Ferrari in Maranello is as good or better than one that was in the car since the '50s/'60s. Some things in life are just taken too seriously. What about that Volvo guy with 2.x million on his P1800.....if he hasn't gotten a new engine already, should it really matter? I guess the new Ferraris can be built 100% the same except now Enzo is no longer around to baptize the cars as they leave the factory. :) FG
