Timing Belt
Product Description:
Ferrari part number 187744 is a timing belt for certain Ferrari models, including the 456 GT/GTA, 456 M GT/GTA, 550 Barchetta, 550 Maranello, and 575 Superamerica. The timing belt is a critical component of the engine that ensures that the pistons and valves operate in sync. If the timing belt breaks, it can cause serious engine damage, including bent valves and piston damage.
The timing belt is made of a high-strength rubber that is designed to withstand the heat and friction of the engine. It is also coated with a special lubricant to help prevent it from drying out and cracking. The timing belt should be replaced at the recommended intervals, which are typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
The cost of replacing a timing belt on a Ferrari can vary depending on the model and the labor rates in your area. However, it is typically a significant expense, so it is important to budget for it when owning a Ferrari.
Here are some of the symptoms of a bad timing belt:
- Engine misfires
- Rough idle
- Loss of power
- Engine overheating
- Oil leaks
- Coolant leaks
- Belt squealing or chirping
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to have your Ferrari checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. A broken timing belt can cause serious engine damage, so it is important to address the problem before it leads to a more costly repair.
This car part is suitable for the following models:
456 GT/GTA, 456 M GT/GTA, 550 Barchetta, 550 Maranello, 575 Superamerica and 3 other model(s).
