What the Tech? In this episode, we dive deep into a 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB engine. This one is broken and out for repair so we get to check out carnage and all the cool technology of1970's Ferrari. This engine was oddly overbuilt and had a very low horsepower output but the retro features and creative ingenuity definitely make up for it. Enjoy this show!

What do you guys think of naming the series "What the Tech?" Give me some suggestions for other mechanically interesting cars. Cool old or new tech, weird designs, bad designs, good designs, crazy engineering, etc.

Timing belt service can be done without removing engine , same with clutch

@richardremund 3 года назад

Seriously, Ferrari dealerships do not do 308 engine out timing belt or clutch service. I’ve done my share of belt service via the wheel well and it’s fairly straightforward. This job however is more than a belt service yet still can be accomplished in car if the piston is not damaged.

@glenmynard3926 3 года назад

100% engine does not have to come out, I own one and do my own belts. Rear wheel off and wheel arch liner off and all is accessible. 348 onwards the engine had to be removed (up until much later cars)

@dmcars147 3 года назад

Engine out for a 308 belt service?? Well, that's the first I've heard of that. That alone would make me nervous about using this shop. "North of $6K" for a belt service on a 308? Let me rethink that...run from that shop!

@andrewmclaren8890 2 года назад

Yep, I've owned a 308 GTB for over 20 years now, and the engine has never been out. Belts are changed every 4 years irrespective of mileage - see some more frequent suggestions around, but have an older Ferrari mechanic and he is totally comfortable with that. It's a bit of a fiddle with the engine in - one of the gas tanks has to be moved an inch or so to get clearance for the belt cover, but after that it's all plain sailing. Costs around NZ 2k (about US 1300), so not that expensive (as are most other parts for the 308).

@gerritvisser 9 месяцев назад

Exactly. But the babble sounds impressive for the video :-) I did my own belt change on 1976 308GT4, same engine. A couple of hours work taking my time.

Would be a fun short video of your Mom hanging out in that shop, maybe in a comfy chair watching “her shows” and she is there to translate the shop / parts manual for the mechanic. Eventually the mechanic is sitting with your Mom watching Judge Judy. Your Mom then cooks lunch for the shop... “you are putting that transmission back in this afternoon. You need to eat! Have some lasagna.”

It's easy to think that double or hard valve springs has to do with high hp engines, but as you mentioned, it has more to do with high revving engines. It's at high revvs valves start to float with to soft springs. High boost can also induce valve float at some installations

The original minis also had a weird engine/clutch/gearbox setup with the drive doubling back from the clutch through a gear to drive the gearbox mounted under the engine. The engine and gearbox shared the same engine oil. Bit of a challenge doing the clutch if you didn't have the tools.

Any ideas why the belt snapped Alex, it's pretty rare for them to do that. How long since last belt service in mileage time. I've had belts on my Testarossa and Boxer that are about 15-20 years old and look ok, obviously with rubber belts its impossible to tell from looks alone. Belts are easy and accessible on the 308 if its just regular maintenance its through the rear passenger wheel arch.

I'm not really sure but they did look old. I showed the broken one in the video. Can you tell anything off the markings on the belt?

Ajoj Valve clearance is adjusted using these washers. There is a hook for which it is compressed, and special pliers come into those grooves and you remove the washer and choose the right diameter due to the clearance of the valves.

@alexjenner1108 Год назад

08:32 The European engine spec was 255 hp and redline was 7700 rpm so the dual valve springs were probably a good choice. The Group4/Group B 308GTB rally cars were 288-330 hp and revving higher. This was all before mass adoption of 4-valve heads, ECUs and before the wide availability of synthetic engine oil.
