|  F355 Major & Heads rebuild
As many have experienced or heard, the original request was to perform a Major service in this 96 F355 in preparation for a quick sell and is now including a full valve job. Compression and leakdown revealed a couple cylinders out of the "ideal" window. The numbers weren't terrible, but the current owner doesn't want to play games. He's looking to make a clean and honest sale. I'll continue to update the thread as we progress. Here are a couple photos of the first steps. |

Haha, I LOVE Diablos. I've got a Black 95 VT in the shop as well. They tend to travel in packs...

Yessir, it sure will. The belt service alone is a week's worth of labor, start to finish. The R&R of the heads will add a couple days more to that.
