I had a very interesting chat with an ex main dealer engineer today, we chatted at length about all things Maserati, were we got onto the subject of my old 3200 and enfload wear.
Would you believe it, but it was well know within Maserati circles that the reason for premature endfloat wear was, and wait for it.....some of the endfloat washers were installed the wrong way round. What this meant was the hardended face of the endfloat washer was facing the wrong way and the softer side was in contact with the crank face.
To say I was astonished was an understatement!
