365 Tank

March 26, 2014


3/26/14
365 Tank

fuel tank

I pulled the tanks out of a 365GT 2+2 about a week ago, and I got word back from my radiator repair shop that they found the leak in the tank. Ferrari switched to aluminum tanks on their production cars in the late 60s, and you would think that would put an end to rusty gas tanks, but evidently, aluminum tanks can still corrode! My radiator shop thinks it has something to do with the alcohol in the fuel systems and how it absorbs water. This mix seems to corroding the aluminum and causing these leaks.
hole

After grinding away the fiberglass covering on the tank, they exposed the pinhole leak and prepped it for welding.
welding

I took the tank to a welder so he could tig weld the pinhole up .
patched

The material around the pinhole seemed pretty solid, but we’re going to seal the inside of the tank with gas tank sealer to coat the interior of the tank with a special resin. This fuel safe resin will seal the inside of the tank, and hopefully prevent any future leaks.

400GT Flex Lines

March 23, 2014


3/23/14
400GT Flex Lines

brakes

As I was changing the left rear hub bearings on the 400GT, I noticed the rubber flexible brake lines were hard as a rock and had probably never been changed on this car. The proof was the original plastic factory clips were still on the lines. Having something this old on a car made me me call the owner to discuss what to do. I explained to him the brakes felt O.K. but the old lines were well overdue to be changed. Normally, replacing the soft lines on a car is pretty straightforward and a no-brainer on going ahead with the job, but on this particular brake system found on 400GTs, it had the potential to be painful. Ferraris from the early 70s to mid 80s used a dual circuit brake system that had two hydraulic lines feeding each caliper. I don’t believe there was much benefit from this over complication because no one uses this system today. Unfortunately, on the Ferraris with this dual system, access is tight, the securing nuts are often seized, and getting the soft brake lines installed can sometimes cause more time than one would expect. I warned the owner that what starts as a simple job had the potential to be several hours of skinned knuckles, cursing, and extra labor. It was not a job I was looking forward to, and was not really volunteering to do, but for the sake of safety, it was prudent to do this job now. 

Unfortunately, with a 400GT, the cost of repairs is the same as it is for a Half-a-million-dollar-Daytona, so the motivation is different. That is often the case with lower prices Ferraris: the labor and parts to keep them running is the same. The owner of this 400GT is committed to making his car right, and does not want to short-cut the maintenance, but one can understand the struggles. I see this problem all the time at the shop with other cars that have recently gone up in price. A perfect example is the 330GT. Series II 330GTs have gone from being $120K cars from 2 years ago to $250-$300K cars today. This fast rise in prices has brought a lot of cars onto the market, but some of them were maintained much like the $40K cars they were 15 years ago! I often inspect cars being offered for top dollar that look shiny and new, but underneath show unrestored suspensions, leaking seals, and a whole host of problems in their engines. When these 2+2s were cheap Ferraris, their owners didn’t all maintain them with a budget commiserate to a much more expensive car. I have no problem with people paying the rising prices for good Ferraris, but they need to watch out for the cars that may look like good cars, but hide a whole lifetime of deferred maintenance.
flex lines

I started the brake line replacement at the rear of the car, and found the easiest way to get the lines out was to cut them out.
front lines

Installing the new lines requires some specially bent wrenches and some well placed swear words directed to the engineers that had no care for the mechanics that work on these cars! You can see in this picture of the front brake lines how limited the space is to get a wrench on the brake lines. Access from the other side is limited because the engine is in the way!
parking brake

After putting in the new brake lines, I reassembled the left rear hub and brake assembly. Changing out the axle bearings required disconnecting the parking brake cable from the brake shoes, so I had to get that all hooked up again. It took a little bit of fiddling, but I eventually got everything back in place and working safely.

365 Fuel Tanks and Radiator

March 19, 2014


3/19/14
365 Radiator and Gas Tanks

tanks

I’ve been trying to repair some fuel leaks on a 365GT 2+2 we have at the shop, and I just can’t seem to win. My motto is “easy things first,” but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. This car came in our shop with a fuel leak. On inspection, I found fuel leaking from the soft rubber fuel hoses that connected the two tanks together, and felt that was the most common and obvious place to start looking. Leaks of any fluid in the car can sometime be hard to find because it works its way to the lowest point of the car, and then gets blown around when the car is driven. Sometimes we have to thoroughly clean the area dry and wait for the leaks to reappear to find the tricky ones.

Always one to avoid excessive work for no reason, I didn’t think there was a need to pull the fuel tanks since the leak was probably from the bridge pipes, so I drained the 2 or three gallons of fuel out of the tanks, pulled the bridge pipes out, changed the old and cracked hoses, and refilled the system. I filled the system with about 5 gallons of fuel to check for leaks, and found everything bone dry. Proud of my diagnosis, I thought we solved the fuel leak issue without delving further into the fuel system. I added more fuel to create some head pressure to prime the fuel system, and that’s when I started smelling fuel again!

In a couple of days of sitting, with about 8 gallons of fuel in the tank, I found new leaks forming on the right side of the trunk. The bridge pipes with the hoses were dry, but now the padding under the tanks were wet! All the signs were pointing to a leak somewhere from the right tank, and pulling it out for inspection was the only solution. I would have to now drain the tank again, take out the new soft hoses I installed, and move onto removing the tank. I hate doing things twice, but I tried to save on time and lost! Sometimes I feel if I went into this job expecting to take the tank out without definitive proof of a leaky tank, it would have seemed irresponsible. Whatever the case, I was going to smell like gasoline again!
filler hose

Looking at the left tank, I found the original fuel filler hose with the Pirelli stamp still on the hose. I think this was a good time to replace a 45 year old hose!
tank

I decided to pull both tanks since it was only going to be an extra hour to pull the second tank to have it pressure tested instead of finding a problem when everything was put back together. I pulled the padding off the bottom of the tank and photographed it so it could be reinstalled after the leak was fixed.
radiator

The radiator is back from the radiator shop. A new core was installed and a fresh coat of paint was applied. We’re at least moving forward with the cooling system on this car!

GTE 2709 Frame Repair, and Hood Scoop

March 18, 2014


3/18/14
GTE 2709 Frame Repair, and Hood Scoop

2709

I’ve been sorting a couple of things on a GTE I mentioned several weeks ago. The new owner may not jump into a restoration just yet on this car, but we found the fog lights and a set of original bumpers to make the car more complete.
hole

Even though we’re not restoring this car, I wanted to fix a rusty frame section on this car. Ferrari frames are pretty stout, but every once in a while a car will have a problem. The floor section in this area was replaced, and I suspect the old floors where they were attached to this section of frame may have been the cause of the rust. The rust on this section of frame was from the outside in because after cutting out the rustted section the inside of the oval tube frame looked pretty smooth. Any signs of corrosion was on the outside of the tube.  The classic fiberglass sandwich Pininfarina used to insulate their floor pans absorbed moisture, rusted through, and continued onto the frame section. The only shame is when a previous body guy replaced the floor section, they should have taken the opportunity to fix the frame. Now I had to cut the new floor pan out to get better access to the frame for welding!
frame

Luckily, Francois has original Ferrari frame tubes in the original profiles and thicknesses to make this repair much easier. After making a cardboard template larger than the rusty area, I cut what I needed and welded the repair in place.
frame

After some grinding and sanding, the frame section was repaired and undercoated.
floor

The cut sections of floor pan were bent back in place and welded back together. I didn’t spend a lot of time making everything perfect because the replacement floors were not done exactly like the original, and should probably be done correctly at some later date when the car gets restored. For now, however, the floors are solid, watertight, and functional.
hood

A neat feature  on this car was the hood scoop. There has been a lot of discussion among GTE owners if hood scoops were originally made by the Pininfarina factory when these cars were new, and I wanted to show some of the details on this hood to prove or disprove their originality.
hood detail

The hood pad stays run longitudinally along the length of the hood on either side of the hood scoop. The profile of the aluminum pieces look similar to the ones found on normal GTEs, only they’re longer to run the length of the hood. The Phillips head screws look to be the correct oval head type found on original cars. The diamond quilt stitching is the same size as the one on my car that has an original hood pad, and the material looks the same.
scoop

Here’s a picture of the underside of the hood scoop and its hardware.
scoop

The hood spear is deleted, and the hood scoop has a thin chrome trim around the opening.

365 CV Joint, and Fuse Panel Woes

March 14, 2014


3/14/14
365 CV Joint and Fuse Panel Woes

CV Joint

I took the half shaft out of the 365GT to replace the torn Constant Velocity Joint Boot. The grease looked relatively clean so hopefully, no further damage was done to the joint. I cleaned everything out and replaced the old grease and will install a new boot as soon as it comes in the mail.
wiring

The electrics on the 365 continued to baffle us as I worked my way to the electric windows. Our electrician managed to get the headlights working, and installed a modern flasher unit to get the turn signals flashing again. I pulled the window switches to try and decipher how some previous repairs were done, and how to make things work. The jumpers in this picture were the first “shade tree” repairs someone made trying to fix some of the issues with the fuse panel. The electric window motors draw a lot of amperage, and as they get old, more and more current is needed. Compound this problem with a poorly constructed fuse panel that was riveted together, the connections on the fuse panel heat up, causing the junctions to overheat, oxidize and lose continuity. A bad mechanic, “repaired” this problem by adding a parallel jumper across the junction, hoping to bridge this bad connection, but he left the old fuses in place! He basically, doubled the amount of current needed to blow the fuses, jeopardizing the circuit with this “fix.” This repair didn’t last long because it was abandoned by running wires to another circuit all together. I was left with the task of tracing this jumble of wires to unmarked terminals and mysterious circuits. The real solution is to at least replace the junction block, and I think help is on the way. When I mentioned I was having trouble with this fuse panel, my friend Zac told me he had a spare fuse holder! Let’s see if we can get some of this spaghetti out of here and get this car working properly again!

I had a request from a GTE owner to post some details on a hood pad for a GTE. I have some details in the restoration tips section of this website for a 330 hood pad, and now there’s information about 250GTEs. You can find it here.

365 and 400

March 8, 2014


3/8/14
365 and 400

365

The work continued on the 365 GT 2+2. I fired up the engine after the valve adjustment, set the timing, and started the carburetor tuning, but soon found another problem that needed addressing.
radiator

A seam on the radiator started steaming once the engine got to operating temperature. The only solution was to stop what I was doing to remove the hood to take the radiator out and have the leak fixed. It’ll be up to the radiator shop to see if the core is salvageable and patched, or if a new core is in order.
cooling fan

As the engine reached full operating temperature, I checked the cooling fans and heard a horrible noise coming from one of the dual cooling fans. A bearing in one of the fans was bad and with the radiator removed, it was a lot easier to pull the fan.
fan

A new replacement motor is available with an adapter bracket and was the cheaper alternative to having the original one rebuilt. The owner will put the original one in a box and perhaps rebuild it when it becomes worth the expense.
wiring

The electrics on this car continues to challenge us. The list of electrical issues included, inoperative left window motor, intermittent stop lights and fuel pump, no headlights, parking lights, and turn signals. I started to diagnose some of the issues, and found some clues to solve some of the problems, but decided to bring in a specialist. Our electrician is much better at finding tricky issues and would allow me to work on some of the other issues on this car.
relay

The intermittent electrical problems were traced to a poor connection at a terminal board, but the headlight issues was a little harder to find. As you can see from the previous photo, the fuse panel had been butchered and modified to try and resolve these issues with little success. Eventually, we found the light issue tied to a faulty relay, but it was compounded by a bad connection at the fuse panel. Ferrari used Lucas relays, and without taking time to tell some Lucas jokes, I still had to find a replacement. Luckily, we had a good one in our box of spare parts.
flasher harness

When it came down to finding out why the turn signals weren’t working, we first had to decipher the wiring diagram. By the late 60s, cars built for the American market required a four way flasher so Ferrari had to find a way to make this work on their cars. There is very little documentation on how this was done, and after a Lucas flasher unit failed on this car, the previous owner decided to simply eliminate the problem with some wire cutters. Needless to say, finding the components, figuring out how it was wired, and then figuring out what was broken was quite a challenge.
CV Joint

While I was sorting out the fuel pump at the back of he car, I noticed a split one of the constant velocity joint boots. The grease looked pretty clean, so I think a good cleaning, packing new grease, and replacing the bad boot should fix this issue. The other boots looked to be in good shape.
400GT

On the other side of the shop, I had a 400GT to finish up. It’s been tuned and the interior freshened up, but as we drove the car we noticed a definite growl coming from the rear of the car. Francois suspected a left rear wheel bearing, so when I put the car in the air, I could just feel a little roughness in the wheel when it was spun. Once the caliper was removed, the problem was definitely isolated to the hub bearings.
bearing

There was only one offending bearing of the two supporting the left rear axle, but we replaced both bearings. With one wearing out, it was probably over stressing the other one accelerating the wear.

330 Heads and 365 Window Parts

March 4, 2014


3/4/14
330 Heads, and 365 Window Parts

valves

The heads came back from the machine shop for one of the 330 engines we’re rebuilding. Each of the valves needed to be lapped into the new seats so I had my work cut out for me.
heads

After lapping the valves to the heads, I continued the work by double checking the machine shop work on the spring heights. After that, the valve stem seals, valves, springs, and keepers were installed. With a 12 cylinder engine, you end up with a lot of parts!
Heads

The valves were finally installed and set aside to wait for the block to be finished by the machine shop. The rockers are a whole other story which I’ll explain what we found next time.
windows

I mentioned the 365 at the shop is filled with electrical gremlins, and whenever I have some time, I try to sort some of them out. So far, I found a large voltage drop from the main power lead to the switched side of the fuse panel. Somewhere there is a bad connection, and suspect it’s in the fuse block. I’ll need to do further investigation, but while I was checking the car’s electrics, I found none of the window switches were working. Symptoms like this could have been attributed to low voltage, but I wanted to look a little further. I stuck my finger inside the electric window manual override connection and found something weird, or rather, something missing. After taking the right door panel off, I was surprised to find all the window mechanisms missing, and the window was held up with a 2×4 wedged in place of the regulator!
window

Luckily, the rollers are still in place, but the electric motor, transmission, drum, and cable are missing. The search begins!

I’ve been steadily sorting out the 365GT 2+2 at the shop, and it was time to turn my attention to the ignition wires. The wires that were on the car had resistor ends on the plug wires. These help lower the RF interference for the radio reception but often wear out, so checking their values was a good place to start. I soon found several wires without any continuity. Looking closer at the way the plug ends screwed into the wires, I could see some burned connections. The best solution was to replace the wires and start fresh.
tubes

I am trying not do spend too much time on this car because the owner is on a budget, but after removing the old wires, a lot of the wrinkle paint flaked off the spark plug tubes. Now was the time to strip these tubes and paint them with new wrinkle paint because once the wires are installed, there’s no chance of painting these correctly.
routing wires

Getting everything routed correctly takes patience and an understanding of what needs clearance when routing the wires.
grommets

Grommets are installed on the spark plug tubes, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen cars without these grommets (looking like the one on the right) because the previous shop took a short cut.
stud

I’m trying to sort out some of the incorrect details on this car so the new owner can be proud of his 365GT, and one problem was a broken ball on the valve cover. There are four plastic balls mounted to the valve covers on each end, and this one had a stud that was too long. When someone tried to screw the ball down all the way, the long stud broke the ball. Shortening this stud would prevent someone from breaking the replacement!
fuel line

While sorting out the fuel pump I found another issue with the fuel system. This car has a replacement engine installed from a later 365. Although it is the same engine found in other 365GT 2+2s, it came out of a later car which was slightly different than the earlier 365s. Early cars had both mechanical and electric fuel pumps installed, while later cars went with only an electric fuel pump, deleting the mechanical fuel pump. This car still had the fuel lines for both pumps as it was originally equipped, but the engine was missing the mechanical pump.
fuel rail

The fuel rail has a small return line like most 365s, but…

The front of the fuel rail shows it’s from a later car where the main fuel line feeds directly to the return. On earlier cars, there would have been another line at this connection that would have been fed from the mechanical pump. Where am I going with all this?

Looking back at our fuel line, the old yellow hose that was no longer needed to run to the mechanical pump was still in place, but not feeding anywhere. We decided to remove this yellow line to avoid future leaks and run only one line from the solitary electric fuel pump. eliminating an old cracked hose saved us from potential future leaks.
engine

The carbs were serviced, and reinstalled. I should be ready to fire up the car soon!
400GT

The 400GT that was at the shop several weeks ago is back from the upholsterer’s shop.
seats

We had the seats redyed, along with the dash and contrasting insert pieces, and it’s looking pretty good.
