Howdy Grumps ... thanks so much thats great mate !! cant go wrong now.yes it is a good machine and i always throw a new belt on with a job like this years ago wen i was a yung fella i worked for a ferrari dealer in adlade n had a call one morn from an owner his 348gtb made sum weird noises n then wouldnt turn over n wen we looked at it the mice n rats had chewed the timing belts and it had crumpled half the valves ...i figure if this beasty was built in 1988 or so and its lasted this long with little maintenance its gotta be a good bet with a few bucks spent thanks for the great info party
