I got the parts from Ricambi… I did the “kit” he sells for $1700. But
there’s more: I got the 2 new plastic rub blocks for the oil pump chain
which were somewhere around $400 a piece(!!!!!). Then throw in some anti
freeze, brake fluid etc. so it adds up. Those new plastic should last a
long time though. At least I figured out a way to do the spark plug wires
for dead cheap… as seen in the video.
As I said in one of your previous videos, the seal needs to be perfectly
flush with the face of the hole, not pushed in. Go look at your older
videos and see how the old seals were originally installed. ALSO, The
outside of the seal and the surface of the hole the seal is going into
needs to be dry. Any kind of lube on these surfaces will cause a leak. The
only place people usually apply lube on is the inner leap of the seal and
(in this case) the crank shaft surface.
Also I would not have made the spring shorter to make a tighter fit for the
seal. Believe it or not, the tighter spring will either cause the seal to
wear out prematurely or worse make a nice wear groove on the crank shaft
itself, possibly scraping the crank… I hate to see something go wrong
with all this work you have put in your Ferrari. If you have not done so,
next time you get into a project like this for the first time take good
quality photos of everything before you take them apart.

sweet, thats for posting on youtube, the first DIY cambelt replacement on a
Ferrari ! I would pay you to do mine !
Bravo!
This is a great how to do it step by step so thank you for posting. Did you
torque the fasteners on the cams in any special order?
Very solid piece of wrenchwork!
Great job and video to you are amazing wow thanks for video 🙂
I was wondering if you have a total parts cost and if you got any prices
from dealers before?
