Whilst I was at it I thought it would be a good time to sort out the poor A/C so I located the ports & hooked up my A/C machine to the car. The system had very little pressure & gas so I vac'd the system down & left it for 30 mins while I cleared up.
I then checked the guages hadn't crept up to zero before firing in 600gms of refrigerent.
Tested the system & it all works beautifully!
I then locked up & took it for a blast on the way home & the performance difference is sharper with the new plugs & super unleaded fuel in the tank.
All in a few hours well spent getting to know my car while giving me the confidence to rev it as hard as I want to for as long as I want to!
The belt that came off was in very good condition but I'd commited myself to it by then & I had the new one here so it made no sense not to fit it.
If you've got one of these engines then most competent home DIY'ers would be able to tackle this on their drive. As mentioned earler the ramp is not a neccesity, merely a more comfortable option should you have it.
DISCLAIMER: Guys, if you tackle yours & it goes horribly wrong then please don't flame me here! I got lucky & it all worked out well for me. This does not guarentee it will for you. If in doubt leave well alone & pay a professional to do it.
I have never worked on a Maserati before & I searched high & low for a guide like this to no avail. It should be treated as a guide, no an actual how to.
At your own peril.........!!!!!
Good luck!
