Ferrari Mailing List: 512 TR scare

[clyde romero (clyderomerof4]

Ok so I told you all that there were not leaks

Well

I had to go to work for 6 days

Came back and water pump seal leak

Oh shit

But I go lucky the engine had not been used in a long while and there is a carbon seal that needs to be heated up

Because when I did the first run there were no leaks

So I ran the car

Bled the coolant system of air until the fane came on

Let it idle for 5 minutes and let the fans cycle

While that was happening I was checking for the leak

Carbon seal expanded and sealed up

Got lucky big time

 

Next time I will pressure check the coolant system prior to hooking up all the hoses

Lessons learned

Oh yea and I had to use my fuel injection rail from my ole car with 100k plus on the 1-6 bank since the new engine injectors where clogged

Going to swap the 7-12 out tomorrow and fly her home
