Can you spot the cylinders running on coolant?

I have no idea what to call them since Ferrari's cylinder numbering is so weird.

I am going with #3 & #6.

The stuff on the pistons is goo....assembly lube, running rich and such.  Carb cleaner took it right off



On the bottom of the gasket the compression mark make it pretty that on the sides it the flame ring not gasket material trying to make the fluid seal...which clearly doesn't work. Sealant it is.



I did recheck the cylinder protrusion and all readings on this bank were .0015-.0030", so right were I left them.

That looks like the extra flats on #6... What's going on with #3?
Did the leaking cylinders get extra flats or get fly cut somehow? Why isn't #1 leaking?



That's good to find.

How are the cylinders numbered in this engine? Isn't it left bank forward? I thought that would mean #1 is in the other bank.

All the cylinders are the same, so yes there are unneeded flat on the ends....which are 1, 6, 7, 12

Ferrari numbers in a horseshoe pattern. The right/rear bank start at the front/damper end are 1-6, then the left/front bank starts numbering from the flywheel and 7-12, so 12 & 1 are at the front, 6&7 the rear

Like I said... weird.

Going to take Lana on a road trip when you're done?

Oh hell no!

Sealer on



and head on



While it was off I took the opportunity to grind the snot out the bosses that hold the inner cam cover studs hoping it helps with intake install.
