[DeTomaso] Ferrari 360 maintenance costs-- NPC

[pantdino at aol.com]

That $8K for belt service is not what I am hearing on the Ferrari board-- $3K seems to be the usual.
It is not an "engine out" service-- in 1999 Ferrari finally figured out how to make a bulkhead with removable section, a la Pantera.

If your Ferrari 360 transmission has problems, that's a $30K fix too.

I saw a 360 at Ferrari of Seattle with a cracked cylinder head (due to
verheating). The cost to replace the head and fix the source of the
verheating problem was $35,000! Also, they told me the "every three year"
iming belt service cost around $8,000. This includes replacing the belts,
elt tensioners, seals, gaskets, bearings, etc., etc. I believe this is an
engine out" service. 
 
The 360; however, was the last Ferrari to use rubber timing belts. With the
430, Ferrari switched to timing chains.
