Videoscope a Ferrari

Shell People asked me yesterday to witness the videoscope of a Ferrari. The explanation of this procedure, which greatly resembles a medical examination, run by the specialist in lubricants and Alberto Fernández Jorge Perez, the only authorized by Maranello in the country and author of the famous phrase "with no Ferrari fuck is ".

The videoscope is to introduce the engine in a tiny video camera guided by a robotic arm to inspect the status of the head of the piston, cylinder sleeves and valves. In this way, we can identify early potential mechanical damage and save the laborious opening of the engine.

The demonstration was done with the engine of a 208 GTB in 1982 Turbo, a V8 with 220 horsepower. It was in perfect condition despite being over 100 thousand kilometers. "Most of the time, the engines are impeccable, but this year and saved a 360 Modena with this system. We detect a micro-time in a piston and prevent the engine being merged, "said Perez.

The videoscope is used by machine shops and art workshops for maintenance of vehicle fleets and freight transportation, which saves time and money with this diagnostic predictive. "This is not like a pre-diagnosis, which involves opening a switch engine and parts before it is broken, a predictive diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary repairs and anticipate possible damage, "Fernandez graphic.

The meeting also served to admire a 355 GTS, one of three Maserati Quattroporte is in the country (the owner uses it with a driver) and to its dispatch Pérez always interesting anecdotes about the microworld of the maintenance of the Ferrari mechanic who Argentina is in the.

"With inflation now more than ever should have a Ferrari," ironically. "You laugh, but the basic annual maintenance service of an order I will charge 3,000 pesos, because the rate is fixed from Italy. That any owner of a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz more or less good about what they are charging. In some cases, more than double the annual maintenance.

Another advantage is that users of the Ferrari oil change done cheaper in the country. "Some time ago I decided to charge my clients only the price of oil. Using Helix Ultra 5W40 synthetic. The labor is free because it does not seem fair to charge them for so little work. However: as the engines are dry sump, leading many liters of oil. The V12 charged 12 liters and 10 liters charged V8. "

An additional task is to give Perez his workshop to take delivery of all new zero kilometer Ferrari: "I still remember when he came to look for the 360 F1 was the girl who won the Marlboro for a few years ago. I wanted to hang out and then sell it. We were two hours explained that if a given round the block because the car loses 15% of its original value. At the end sold it for a very good money, but during days came to shop with friends and family to be taken pictures in the car. "

Perez also revealed that just delivered the first unit of the 430 Scuderia, the latest extreme sport and the current V8-engined Berlinetta: "There came a man with his son and said: 'But this is not the charge that Ferrari! The photos were of different! " And the son said:
No, Dad. It was the same, the Scuderia.
- You're sure?
-I say yes.
Well, okay. Total, where are you going to use.
