Well i did some playing today and found out a few things and it wasnt to scary! Firstly if you disconect the cam positon sensor the engine wont go! And if it...
Hey! While all of the stuff in front was off, I was planning to change water pump and the oil seals. Waterpump is off, oil seal I need to take crank cog off,...
Get the puller or make one. Don't skimp on the materials or # of bolts. I tried using my very trusty steering wheel puller which is made from good stuff but...
Hey Bob! Do you know the price of the puller? If it's not too expensive I'll just buy that. What was the problem putting it back together? Can't you just use...
OK I'll be brief about this ... I know MIE does not have one for sale and they are NLA from Maserati but really it's just a basic piece. I had one made for...
Hey! This will happen in the middle of the winter, perhaps my garage will be 5C at this point. (-10 outside) Wondering if I can even get it on again then? In...
Yeah, you could try that too. I just didn't have a freezer big enough to hold the entire engine and you do ... Norway. That in combination with the part warmed...
I'm trying to find out what Maserati used for the two oil cooler hoses on the Ghibli. Not because of originality but because it is extremely flexible and thus...
Hello, who can tell me how to make my 420i less rich on idle?Only just passed its MOT so a future worry. Reg.Palmer. ... From: staatsof <staats@...> ...
Hey Bob! My worry was the cog would cool down really quickly in these temperatures. How many seconds do you have in 5C before it has shrunk again? I guess your...
Hey Reg! There is a mixture screw on the ECU boxes, but you might want to rule out the other stuff first. Anyone else on the forum had similar problems? Air...
Well you don't have time to waste but I took mine right from the oven to the engine @ 70F about 50 feet away. It's the contact with the end of the crank as you...
jarle air is a pretty crappy heat conductor, so it shouldn't cool too quick, especially since the part your'e talking about is a reasonable size/ mass. whether...
make a mark on the screw so you know where to return it. the guy i take mine to uses this trick for testing, but always returns it back straight afterwards. ...
you could try samco flexible hose... just make sure it's oil resistant. http://www.samcosport.com/flex.asp ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hey Bob! Let me see if I get this right, the tool is a disc, with the four holes to the cog. And one large threaded hole in the middle. You put a spacer or...
Yes that's about it. I bought a 3" diameter by 1" thick steel disc and sent it to the machine shop for fabrication. Bob S. ... holes to the cog. ... something...
Hey Jonny! I have welded a lot of stuff wintertime, and it's no doubt that metal cools down much quicker wintertime. Hasn't stopped me from burning my fingers...
Check the water temperature sensor that feeds the ECU. If the resistance curve is off it will change the mixture a lot. Ron ... From: Jonathan Corcutt...
Hello! I am currently removing the entire engine loom from my car. The loom is very easily separated from the the rest of the electrics. There is one cable...
Agree Jonny, it's the most likely.. Need to measure what sort of voltage and amp it is supplying.. Later! Cheers, Jarle ... From: Jonathan Corcutt To:...
Has anyone tried one of these sets? I bought one, but for th life of me cannot get the connectors to snap to the plugs. The boots look very much like the OEM...
I'm pretty sure it's NOT my ECU that's the problem. If anything, it is doing its job -- when there's a misfire, it cuts my turbo boost in half. The misfires...
Hey Zach... Perhaps a recap of what you have done to remedy the problems? Missfires and stuff like that are known problems, and in my three cases it has been...
... I do not know what kind of plug wires I have. To reattach mine I pull the boot way back to attach to the plug, then gently slide the boot back down into...
Wrong sort of hose guys. It has to be able to bend & not collapse, take the heat as well as pressure. It also has to be able to use AN style JIC fittings. I...
How embarrassing, I totally missed Jonny's post until I saw "guys" written in your response. Glad you found something that you think will work... H Jonathan...
