Adamlar Kafayı Yemişler Ferrari 512TR Detailing

Alıntıdır... Motora bile detailing......

Hi everyone :wave:
Another thread from KDS this time it’s an iconic Ferrari shape from the late 80's / 90’s.
The later version of the testarossa the 512TR in red :argie:

showing my age now , i can still remember the first time i watched a TR on Miami vice and then the arcade game out run :D , to think that many years later i would be removing an engine from one of these cars for engine correction work :doublesho .

The owner of this car also owns another Ferrari which i will post in the future this one also had engine / brakes / steering work and a detail by KDS.

One of the owner’s cars has been posted on here already seen here

Now onto the car in question, the owner tells me that around 40 odd of these cars are in the UK, not sure how true that is?

This car is a recent buy for the owner and booked it with us as soon as he picked up the vehicle :thumb:

First up are the engine work / correction.
I may add that the work you are about to see on this thread is all undertaken ONLY by myself not third parties.


The car on start-up had horrible noise from the belts, oil leaks from many places and in need of a service and TLC.

Now for some pictures


Engine before removal



Masked up and wing covers fitted



Some pics of the parts being removed and the rear engine cover removed





Good picture showing how low down the center of gravity of the engine is





Being a flat 12 cylinder engine with integral gearbox and diff the complete assembly comes out in one piece.

Views from the wheel arch liners showing where the engine is positioned





Liners removed





Now removing the engine after draining down fluids, disconnected drive shafts, engine mounts, gear selectors, exhausts, engine looms, removing dry sump hydraulic pipes.











Engine out showing engine bay and chassis, which will be cleaned later







Complete engine showing how dirty it is













Now time to clean the engine




















More cleaning of engine





Dirt from underneath of engine



Engine just a bit cleaner now :thumb:















Parts ready for mechanical work







Now to strip down the rocker covers and cambelts.







Cam timing marks under the rocker covers





Cam wheels marked as they are veriner type wheels



When i removed the rocker covers it did not surprise me why oil was leaking from them, the gasket maker was not uniform from the last time it had a cam belt service.



There is no need for gasket making here :wall: as there are proper o rings




Closer inspection showed a large oil leak from this area







Nice damaged oil seal on assembly :doublesho













So it was decided to change ALL the outer engine gaskets, oil seals and o rings.

When pressing in new oil seals it helps a lot to have the proper equipment to press them in evenly.











Refitting the housing for the oil seal











Running a soft plastic edge around the lip of the seal as it is pulled on while tighten the bolts, this stops the same problem happening again





Both seals fitted



Cover and cam wheels back on



Same process on the other bank,

Here shows the old oil seal and how worn and weak the spring that runs around the lip of the seal, shown by the gap which should be a tight fit



Next with new seal not gap :thumb:



While i was working on the engine one of the kds staff got to cleaning the chassis and engine bay















After cleaning





Back to the engine

New cambelts all timed and ready for covers







Rocker covers with all the old gasket maker removed and degreased







New o rings fitted



Once the tappet clearances where checked





Cylinder heads cleaned



The rocker covers where fitted back with new gaskets.
then the threads that did feel too good on strip down are cleaned and retapped




The last job was to change some oil return pipes and emissions hoses
Finished engine





The last thing to attend to was the strange mod of the wiring loom for the starter motor, which had extra wires not being used











Engine back in all tested






Nearly forgot a good idea when removing a lot of components to to bag them in freezer bags and write what they are
