>>Now if you don't have the talent to do this type of thing then you need to take it to a mechanic who learned the same way.<<

REAL Mechanics Apprentice From MASTERS...Who Apprenticed From MASTERS (plus MANY yrs of schooling &amp; training)...they don't learn from billyjoebob that taught hisownself..contrary to this threads insinuations!

JRV I agree and was not implying that all you need to do is pick up a wrench and you are a mechanic. As I'm sure you know you need to have some talent and a willingness to learn to be a good mechanic. Although all of the good o boys of nascar and the sports car world did not have the opportunity to go to master mechanics program the paved the way for the how to's of the sport. I understand the need for training and have 8 years of mechanics education in NY and continue to take refreshers as the new technology become more complex. But compares to todays cars the early basic ferrari's are simple to work on and easily understood by the backyard mechanic . Things like points , plugs , wires , oil/filter change , all fluid changes , cam belt change , valve adjustments , cam timing , gearbox rebuild , carb sync/adjustment , carb rebuild , alt. rebuild , AC work , wheel bearings , brakes and more can be done by the backyard mechanic with a great savings to the owner. This makes the early f cars inviting and cost reasonable. Even after more experience engine rebuilds are viable. I recall the 30k service bill I received when I bought my 308 and could not believe it to be $2k. I'm not as good as a mechanic as I see you are based on your responses on the site her but feel I have enough knowledge to get buy. Sorry if I am affending anyone so I'll just continue to absorb the site in silence.
