Subject: Re: [Ferrari] 575 run to CLT Jokes aside, guys, I found this on the ol’ interwebs... If you look closely at the right hand side of this photo, near where there is a red tag that says: “Rossocorsa” and has the Ferrari & Maserati logos, look at the cylindrical object and that is the oil pressure sending unit. At the base of the oil filter housing, you’ll see a complex cast aluminum tee with braided stainless lines and that feeds oil to both turbos and this pressure sending unit. Okay cLyDe, if you say there’s no room and you don’t mind replacing the unit on a regular basis, I’m cool with that...

Well, if you want a race car for the road, step one on most maintenance tasks is “pull motor”... Peter notes “If I’m not mistaken, I think Ferrari did the exact same thing with the 288 GTO/F40.” And to think that I cuss about when I have to get into the Weber carbs on our ’78 308 GTS to change jets at smog time or just change the air filter without removing the rear deck lid. *&^%$*(6 Doug So I took a look at the parts diagram for the 575... I see that the sensor is mounted way down there, on the bottom front of the oil pan assembly. So there is no room to plumb a hose to mount that sensor to another location? Even when you remove that front belly pan, you can’t find a convenient location on that front subframe to mount it? If I’m not mistaken, I think Ferrari did the exact same thing with the 288 GTO/F40.

Boss There is not a lot of room down there for that ![]() RF4-4EVR

Whatever thread it uses, have a high-pressure hose made up, or find a suitable one already made, thread it in and route it to an area where the sensor wouldn’t be subjected to the harsh (or less harsh) conditions it’s already in. Maybe even install a tee fitting and have a small mechanical gauge on one side and the sensor on the other (to verify readings). I did this for my truck when I rebuilt the motor. Worked great.

Ok did a round robin to CLT out of ATL ( you guys will learn your city codes before this so all over!) one of my good friends had a retirement party from AA, 40 years of flying! Car turned 32,000 plus on this trip so I’ve put a little over 5 K on it since I picked it up in late May. Oil pressure sensor is acting up, again!!! Above 4K the pressure pegs to 140!!!! Below that it returns to the 70 Psi level This is the second sensor it’s had and to be honest the damn thing sits in a horrible place What is it with the Mustang crowd anyway? Why do they feel that they have to rev the engine, drop a gear and make noise when they see a Ferrari on the interstate? Had 2 do this on the way home today. Big trip coming up in early November, cold weather starts, you name it, maybe even some SNOW!!!! ![]() RF4-4EVR
