Bitch and a half of a job. Followed the writeup here
http://silverstone.fortunecity.com/ferrari/464/engine_coolant.htm
My $0.02 additions:
- Disconnect battery.
- Undo starter motor cable for pass side drain.
- Either be smart and not futz with the driv side. I guess it might have been smarter to then replace the drains and fill, start car, flush a couple times with distilled water.
- Or if you're determined to get the driv side drain, get a 3/8 or 1/4 flex head handle (not ratchet) and the shallowest 13mm socket you have. This just fits over the plug and clears the header. Crack bolt open. Undo by hand. All this for enough coolant to wet the bottom of a drain pan. Ah well. Lesson learned.
- Pour about 7 or 8 gallons of distilled H2O through with drains open.
My fav line. Installation is reverse of removal.
