[EnzoKid330]

Hello everyone. I've been keeping an eye on my father's house and cars while he's away on vacation with his girlfriend. He has a '67 330GTS 2+2, as well as a '96 Bentley Azure and a little Mini Cooper for the times when the previous aren't running(like now). My dad instructed me not to touch either cars, but being twenty-four, I couldn't help myself. I took the 330 out for a quick spin last friday, and on the way back the engine felt sluggish. Since I don't live with my father on a normal basis, I had no idea about the service of the car other than what he told me, which is not much. So, in an effort to correct my misdoings, I decided to change all twelve spark plugs and change the oil. I couldn't afford the recommended oil, so I had to settle for the dollar-store brand. As I was letting it drain out, it got pretty black as the last started to come out. Twenty minutes later and there was still a small strand, so I figured the engine was gunked up. I looked on ask.com and it recommended that I flush the engine, so I took off the oil cap and put in the hose, and ran some water through it for about an hour to clean it out. After which, I added the oil and now the car won't even start. Any suggestions? I only have about two more weeks until my dad's return.

Oh, man.....pop the corn...

just kidding man, looks like you'll need a pro for this....but, water in the oil isn't unusual...don't do what you did again [I see why dad told you not to touch], but thinking you'll need a lot more oil to go through that system and more filters than one can shake a stick.

Guessing you also got the distributor wet?....plugs too??, maybe more???

oh, ya' and welcome...... :{}

[EnzoKid330]

Yes, the whole engine compartment was pretty much soaked. About 20 minutes ago I tried to start it again and this time, the engine rumbled around for a few seconds and now nothing happens at all.

[Granucci]

are you an only child dads are quite forgiving if so

otherwise.....guessing there might be a will change coming soon.

Um, gotta ask, seriously, you can change sparkplugs and oil but took a water hose to interior of engine?

We here on Ferrari Life, well, are a nicer sort.

That's about the extent of my knowledge, my dad showed me how to both.

oooo, this is bad news...was thinking if he were an only child = no will adjustments.....now

next time references to eye-candy, needs pics of the wrappers...just to read the ingrediants, ya' know.

BTW: This license plate on wifes Silverado

can you post a picture where you put tht water!

[simon klein]

I,m thinking of an orifice enzokid can stick his hose...and it,s nowhere near a ferrari.

[Boxer]

Engine rebuild is roughly $25k...................

New identity is $10-15k........

[simon klein]

Seems enzokid has hybrid Ferrari:330GTS2+2 ?I may be corrected on that.Maybe he has one in his garage and another in his hand.

[Granucci]

It IS a hybrid....caught sight of his Enzomatic the other day: OH MY : A VERY special car

[Granucci]

This is him working on the oil thang and trying to cover up with a good spray job....gotta look closely as, it's in there.

Think dad'll notice?

Guessing from his fine work on engines he'll be a snap on oil repairs too...few welds and ready to go.

OMG: LIKE the WORST Engine rebuild EVER

[simon klein]

Hmmm wonder if I can get him down to Aussie.I could do with some pipework like that on the 330.

ya' don't want him laying your pipe mate

matter of fact, I'd keep him well away from any spray can or grinder.

I just do not know what to say. I cannot believe a kid would do something sooooooooooooooo stupid as to take his father`s prized possession out, and to top it off, try to fix it by changing oil, running water through the engine, and I don`t know what else. I wonder if his mother set him up to do this for his father taking a hot chick out on vacation. Something just does not add up.
