Thanks for the tip. First someone tells me it could
be just timing. I'll see with my mechanic.

Mike if your car is that hot and backfiring
You have a timing issue
Check your timing I think that will solve your
problem
In victory you deserve Champagne
In defeat you need it!
Scars are Tattoos with better stories !
If you follow all the rules
You miss all the fun!
If you have no enemies, you have no character !

I finally put the new vacuum by-pass valve
(Bosch 0280160111) on. I can't say it solved the problem. I let the
temperature go to 195 once back in the city streets. The backfires came back
in 2nd but not in 3rd gear when staying at around 3000 rpm. They
are just small annoying backfires that the passenger does not even hear
sometimes. But they are there. And tonight was a very cool night. I'm sure
next summer in high heat and humidity, that's when the problem happens the
most, it will all come back.
I did solve another problem though. And I'm
very happy about that. There was always a strong smell of burned oil when I
came back from my routine trips. I just thought for a long time that it was
typical of Ferraris. And in a typical 1 1/2 to 2 hour trip, I needed a full
liter of oil to add.
Well I saw that the oil tube in TAV 9 #63 part
#107783 (51 pounds at maranello Parts U.K.) was all wet with oil, it's very
easy to touch it with your fingers, and the engine block at the bottom
of the tube (it's about 6-7 inches long) was full of dirty black burned oil.
The part under the clip at the top was broken/cut. So hot oil under high
pressure was VERY SLOWLY leaking.
I put the new tube on yesterday. Very easy job,
you need to lift the water reservoir. Well tonight there was no smell of
burned oil coming out of the engine bay.
What a race in Texas eih!

87, it was, I asked my wife of 48 years, and she got out her diaries
and found the log entries for 1987 and there it was me trying please Shaun
the instructor at the Jim Russell School.
In 84 we went to European GP at Nurberg and brought back 2 suit cases
of Porsche 928 parts (virtually paid for the trip).
I 86 we went Hockinhiem and took European delivery of our Porsche 944
Turbo.
In any case I was just getting ready to send you the email saying
1987.
Did the part for you 308 fix the problem?
