Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Digest, Vol 186, Issue 219

[CHRIS HILL (hillchris5421]

Clyde, that’s a seal housing , not a cam retainer, I’ve seen a number of 355 
ones cracked, my guess is a cam seal may have been installed unevenly and 
cracked that housing, they are fairly fragile and can be damaged putting new 
seals in them, the ones I have seen cracked were  around the area where the 
rubber o ring portion meets the main body of the seal housing. 
Buy a new one and put it in. 
The cams are retained by the front cam bearing cap and journal. 

Thank you 
 Chris Hill
