Even though I'll never have the "opportunity" to DIY anything on a Ferrari, I found this very informative and enjoyed watching. Your narratives and explanations are great the editing, like all your videos, are done very well.

Hey Dan if you aren’t happy with loosing timing one your timing belts change a old mechanic told me a trick just cut the timing belt with a sharp knife length wise in the middle off the belt slide the new belt over the same as the old belt when it’s on perfectly the same cut the other half of old belt away and slide the new belts one always works with this kind of belts.greets from Holland 🇳🇱

I've never seen a car with 2 oil filters. Great video Dan. I love that car and the noise the gated shifter makes.

There's a few Ferraris that have 2 actually. Mostly their older v12s

As an owner of an ‘05 612, which shares the 575’s powerplant, I love this DIY. Did you see that a factory 6 speed 575 sold for $400k today on BaT?

Easy timing belt in this car, i really like this car, sounds so good and looks great. Good to see you using original good quality UFI oil filters, they are the best. And the kid is so big.. amazing, he was a baby not long ago.

I see that’s my water pump my company manufactures and designed. We designed the shaft seal to be far more robust than stock, using viton material. The prototypes were torture tested for 90 hours straight. Superformance, AW and some others sell them

There is a phone app for the harmonic check that I’ve seen used for Ducati timing belts that use the same method, it seems accurate.

@normalguysupercar

10 ай бұрын

Parts $1500. Probably $4-5k at a dealership all in

the belts on that V12 are harmonicly tensioned ; you need to set the tensioners manually until the belts resonate to the corect frequency. that being said ; they are just like any other belt on another car ; as long as they are not loose or mega tight ; the fact we are asked to change them so regularly makes them not really an issue on longevity. ( 550 owner here ) ive had E30s with belts 5 times more millages than ferrari tells us to do it ; and some that where close to 15years old not showing any sign of fatigue ( after inspection and replacement preventivly )
