Do you remove the engine to replace the timing belts on a Ferrari 360 Modena?
No. You take out the behind the seat interior panel, after that, take out the engine compartment panel. You need to remove the alternator belt to get access to the right bank …of the timing belt. then, remove the cover of the left hand bank. Also, remove the AC belt. You need to remove the undertray of the vehicle and the crash box, sitting in front of the crank shaft pulley. Now, turn the engine 2 times and put it on TDC. Make sure that cylinder 1 is up , now you need to remove by the gear box, the cover with 4 Allen screws. When you remove that cover you have access to the flywheel. Make sure you lock the flywheel so the engine won't move and proceed to remove the crank shaft pulley. There are other procedures to be followed, like setting up the cam shaft angle when you replace the timing belts, it should be 655, 656, 657, equal on both sides or the check engine light will come on. You also need a pin to hold the tensioners in place so you can remove the bearings and the timing belt. Remove both cam shaft covers on the rear part of the engine, there's a mark on each cam shaft and they all have to line up equally in the upright position. (MORE)
