an update: the engine is now ready to be refitted in the car. due to the size and weight will install the block first and then assemble the heads on (this is also the way i had removed the engine from the car) will check compression before actually starting up will keep you posted watch this space!

To all my friends who have so kindly guided me every step of the way................
Wish you a Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2009!

Reminds me of an old song by the Beatles "Come Together.......Yeah!"

Thank you for your input Tom K, Tom Y and Mike. Have found the shop manual for the 330 GT-The engine is basically the same- a two cam engine, and am following the Torque specs from that. The assembly is progressing now, and hope to report back soon! Would have been completely lost without you guys.....

By the way, forgot to add: i have bought Ferrari Tunung tips and techniques, and have registered on the Ferrari owners site. The service manuals are not available on the owners site (only owners manuals) and the ones that i got from Ron are for the 330 GT 2 + 2 WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE A DIFFERENT engine...

Hi Tom

Hi Guys, Its been a very long time since i posted. You must have seen the news about Bombay.We have all been through a very very difficult and terrifying period. As updated you earlier, in the end i landed up opening up the entire engine, and ordering a lot of parts.All of these have come in, seem t...

Hi Tom and all you experts on the 365 GT 2 + 2 who have inspired me to keep going to one day get my car looking and running somewhat like yours. Thought i would give you a status update. Upon opening the engine and examination have found that the clearances are fine although the valves are covered w...

Hi Tom

Now that i have the engine out of the car is there anything else i should do besides the above?

I have written out some questions for which i seek your guidance.

An update: The heads are off-besides changing the gaskets have decided to valve grinding.The valves were not stuck-however due to the excess carbon being generated they were not closing fully and were therefore causing compression leakage. Since i have most of the engine in pieces in my garage have ...

Hi Tom,

Where are you posting your experience on the removal of the 330 heads?

Hi Guys, Its been a long time since i posted. So here is the current status from sunny India. After having got the carbs back on the car, and starting the engine from time to time, havent yet taken it for a carb synchronisation and a road test thereafter. However, have noticed oil in the radiator co...

Some progress-Got the engine started! Couldnt run it for very long though as the neighbours started complaining about the smoke (due to the oil that i had put into the cylinders). Will run the engine for a shortwhile everyday to burn off this excess oil, and then take the car for a tune up-will keep...

An update: Have now fitted the carbs on the car, changed the fuel line, changed the fuel filter, cleaned the fuel tank etc as described earlier. We cranked the engine, but the car did not start (cleaned the plugs etc-usual cheks)-i am told because the car has been lying shut for so long-almost 9 mon...
