wait a minute .... did I send you my invoice yet ?
Send it to todays sponsor, keeps.
On it like a car bonnet geezer
Ratarossa's invoice(s) will bring the "estimated" total cost to $60,000.00
So I didn't get an answer on the last video but my question is: Towards the end of the video you were int here was still an engine misfire issue but it got resolved. Something about a relay? Can you elaborate? Great work by the way!
check's in the mail.
Hold on.... did you just use my photo for a hair loss prevention ad?
what hair.....
Rich Rebuilds i think he did. Also Alex’s photo.
Yeah, that just happened...
Rich Rebuilds Still less disturbing then that Shake Weight! 🤓
SAMMY THE SNAKE!
Toyota owners be like: "imagine needing servicing at 22k miles 😂"
Reminds me of the guy that put more than 1 million miles on a 08 Tacoma.
Sam, for the love of God give that Ferrari a nice wash and detail job already.
Haha I was completely thinking the same thing during every single video about this car
So that's why you kept taking pictures of my head.
LSC will remember this betrayal.
LegitStreetCars not gonna lie, you getting some spots on your head :/ i hope it doesn’t happen to me
LegitStreetCars skin is in, brave the shave baldy.
Start looking for sponsors of male enhancement products
Slowly, and with enough time and video, everyone’s secret desires, even Sams, will reveal themselves
Answers: No to stop leak. Yes to leaving the paint as is and driving the hell out of it
Yeah I replaced the rear main seal in my f 150 and it still leaked a little bit( slowed the leak down a ton) then put rear main stop leak in it, and it did nothing
Agreed. With a part like this... just do it right. The last thing you want, Sam, is for that seal to blow on the road, and you don't need that stop leak gumming up other nooks and crannies in the oil system.
extra yes to pulling the engine and painting it ferrari red because that green looks horrible with the spec on this 360
Honestly I ran Bar's rear main seal stop-leak in a Lotus Esprit and it worked like a charm. Five years later and it's still fine, no complications. It's at least worth a try if you're already willing to do the full repair anyway. Worst case it doesn't work and you have to do the seal. But it's a fully chemical formula, so there's no particulates in there to clog anything (like head gasket sealer has) so it's really a risk-free option. And I would not want to tear that car down again after all that.
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg NOT a risk-free option. I'm an automotive engineer-if you put that crap in your high-performance car, God help you!
"Remember never fall in love with a salvage vehicle" ... Rich Rebuilds
I really do like the color dude. It Un-douches the car tremendously.
100%
f-car people are weird though. Green looks great but it might be hard to sell. Red & tan seems to be the go-to if you want to make reselling easy.
foodiusmaximus IK I’m late but Clean title also seems to be the go-to
I love a green Ferrari.
Lmao
Just keep a check on the oil and leave the rear main seal alone, until it's time for a clutch then do both
Exactly my thoughts
wouldn't bother with a bit of oil if the clutch has to come out in the next 10-15k miles anyway.
Dragonchiller for what I’ve seen ferrari’s don’t go 10k-15k miles without needing some repairs, he should try to fix right now, and don’t have to worry later.
edit: I mean fix it he right way from the the start and don’t go the cheap shady route
If Sam says it's leaking "A little" oil, it's probably a big puddle in the driveway. He's clearly afraid to do the real work of properly maintaining an exotic car (or paying to have it done). Much of the work he's already done could have been easily and more quickly done on the bench when the motor came out for the oil seal repair. Trying to cheap out, or take the easy way, often leads to wasted effort and doing things twice. For example, if it took him 8 hours to do the timing belts when the engine was in the car, he wasted at least 6 or 7 hours, because it's a slam dunk job when the motor is already on the bench. With cars like these, you don't cheap out on maintenance, and you do as much as you can when the engine or trans is out of the car.
Having an expert fly in from England to fix it for free is not something most of us can do.
Definitely true but the assessment of the cost is legit for people who are involved in automotive with good connects. There are lots of people who repair and build cars and they have a network of people to get help from. This is definitely not something everyone can do like you said.
Well, true, but also his connections made by his RUclips family is Similar to the connects one gets when exploring your local people who are in the automotive trades
He accounted for the cost of the service that Ratarossa performed into his final tally. True, most of us cannot do this, but we can all get the same service performed by a reputable mechanic.
Congrats on finally finishing this rebuild/repair. The first time I ever saw one of your vids you were talking about overfilling the oil level. I then went back and watched most of your vids on the pizza car, lambo, etc. Thanks for the good content.
Nice, Sam. So glad the interior carbon fiber is coming out. It really cheapened the look of the interior.
Since you’re going for a stock look, please remove the tint from the rear lights
Uhh... why? I hope he doesn't.
Get yourself a car lift for Christmas. Or get a car lift company to sponsor you with one for free.
That was a good deal, Sam. Thanks for sharing your 360 with us. Drive it and enjoy it!
Honestly I think it's a great deal, and I'll tell you why. You can actually drive this car and not worry about devaluing it. You will enjoy it more I think. You are also learning a lot about this and other Ferrari. That knowledge is value. All told, you are getting to enjoy a Ferrari guilt free, you have pride in what you've been able to do, and who cares what other people say. As long as you are happy with the results and are enjoying this car, you are coming out ahead.
Do not ruin the engine oil system with stop leak.
It might seal it for now, but six months from now it'll be leaking everywhere. Just say no.
Yep. No easy way out. Good luck to your valvetrain and anything else the oil touches @samcrac
i agree with it. u spend so much time and appox 10k on it , dont spoil its engine as it got real low milage.
Lol stop leak doesn't ruin engines, it works by making the seals swell, and in his situation it's totally worth it. I've used it on all my cars. The only issue I could see is it making the oil slightly thicker, but I only use a third of a bottle if that and it still works. I've saved time and money with transmission seals, and hard to get to engine seals. There's a time and a place to use products sometimes
@@devilmonkey yeah. it uses solvents to make the seals swell and stop the leaks but those solvents evaporate and the seal shrinks back but now with a worse gap, making it pour oil.
Yes, use stop leak! Clog oil passages blow the engine then replace the whole thing. No need to mess with seals
Yea and maybe he will get an engine with a clutch on that has '60% life left' and save on the price of a new clutch 🤣
I've used stop leak on all my cars to make to seals swell. No issues
You have to put *sarcasm in your post somewhere, or else how will we know???
you don't understand how oil stop leak works. It swells the seals and doesn't have stuff in it to clog passages. It's not like a radiator stop leak.
BLISSFUL FAPPER make sense. I would still test products before using on Ferrari engine. Probably more useful for orings and gaskets. main seal is really thin and most of time the compression spring is stretched
Sam, I honestly envy you my friend! It feels to me as your life infused with sun, cool cars, auction gamble deals and a hobby that you love....huh this is true Florida life. Greetings from cold and snowy Canada ;)
Sam has the most random type of ads on his videos.
I'm just waiting to see this car to get washed and cleaned inside!
I honestly love that you overfilled the oil cuz it proves you're a relatively normal guy and that you don't need to be a wizard to do some of these things
It's just a Ferrari, it'll be fine. As to Samcrac being a relatively normal guy...hmm.
At one point I thought you were going to give up on this project. Well done!
I'd like to see this Ferrari performing in the street just to close this chapter and continue the fun!
Great vid sam man keep the great content coming
How much did you pay to fly out, put up and employ ratarossa? That should most definitely be included in the final cost.
Probably did it in exchange for content.
Why should he pay him? I’m sure samcrac woidl do it free too
I'm guessing that as the knowledge of what was needed to be done was shared here, if you were to do the same project at home, you'd have the knowledge here, so it's not relevant to add the expert advice. I think this makes sense. The $10k of parts and transport is a fair number to give you a sense of what it takes. Of course every project will be different, and so whatever expert advice would be different too. You could go to the extreme and add the price of phone calls to the parts suppliers ... the cost of delivery of parts ... the cost of petrol and wear and tear on your vehicle driving to/ from suppliers etc etc. It's very possible the advice and help from Ratarosa could have been supplied offline in a forum or something (I'm guessing as a super enthusiast he's only too happy to help problem solve on various forums ). So it might take you longer to get there, but you'd get there in the end.
Got a chuckle that the guy who used rivets and panel bond to fix the floor is critiquing someones speaker install.
One fix is seen and one isn't.
Ya really. Wtf?
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 exactly! These guys would have no clue he fixed the floor that way but he's honest and legit so he shows everything. That floor will be fine and will not cause any problems moving forward. Yet everyone has to rip the guy because they are all so perfect. Sam is a smart dude and knows what he should spend big money on and what can be done cheaply. I respect his honesty.
@Charlie Vetsworth lol there isn't one. His fix will work and last just fine. They're just being snobs.
a great deal :) well done and thx for the video's Sam, i'll be sure to give it a like.
A Teflon based oil additive can stop leaks without destroying the engine.
So, too, can a "proper" repair using the correct parts. In the case of Italian automobiles, however, the "correct" parts are those with "standard" part numbers which have very broad application.
Samcrac I truly believe you’re a marketer by profession 😂😂😂 How the hell im i thinking about buying a hairloss product when i have no hairloss 😂😂😂😂
Syndromicate haha same
I have too much hair with no family history, but he had me running my fingers through my head wondering too.
Mr. Majestic Weak minded, but strong haired
Personally I’d remove the tint on the rear lights too and that would really finish the rear off nicely!
Agreed! Get rid of that tint. The rear lights on a Ferrari are a signature look. You want those to be bright red. Not dark tint!
James Blatchford its painted idiots
@@7777Android we know this fool. He can still get rid of the tinted tail lights though? What's so difficult to understand?
ThePirat easy tiger! Regardless of the terminology used, I believe they should be replaced with original units
@@Blatchie224 lol. People get so aggressive online. Yet in person they're so meek and soft.
I think what you've done here is really impressive and demystifies (a little) what it is to fix a Ferrari.
Glad to see you finally have it sorted (mostly anyway). Took a lot of time, $ & effort and I'm happy to see you can finally enjoy it for a while now. Well done!
Congrats Sam, maybe you can teach Rich a thing about finishing.
Savage Elle Buddy, read my comment again, and then read your reply. Lol
@@savageelle9077 he always ask friends for help ;)
This thread is fucking tragic
Rich has kids so clearly he is capable of finishing something if not his projects
"Anyone could do this", no, you had a lot of help and you yourself stated that you could not have done it otherwise..
I thought the exact same thing.
He meant to say that any youtuber could do this. Everybody knows that means other channels will do it for you. Unless you are B is for Build, in which case Oscar will do it.
It’s not impossible. He wants it done faster, so he gets help
He clearly give the cost he would of paid if he didn't get the free help! Anyone can get a car fixed or buy new parts and fit them themselves. He isnt saying just youtube channels. Car enthusiasts I think he mean't, you know, his target and only audience as its a car rebuild channel!
No I mean anyone can do this. Just because I have interesting people come in to help with these projects doesn't mean it's impossible to do, but work is always better done with multiple people. If you're in to cars, maybe you have a friend who is also in to cars. Anyone can do what we've done on this build. The only specialty thing was done by Specialized ECU repair and I mentioned and included their cost in the final number. If you can turn a wrench you can do this. Don't limit yourself.
NO to the stop leak , Do the job properly , then it won’t come back to haunt you
Don't worry I'm sure he'll do it anyways then rub it in everyone's faces every chance he gets just like that hack job of a floor repair.
As he said, he just want the 15% out of it, BEFORE doing it properly.
The question is, what would happen if he did. Personally I think he should, so far I understand, this channel is about learning. :)
I once put four ounces of DOT3 brake fluid into a Lamborghini Countach (with owner's concurrence) to cause some seal swelling in order to forestall a rear main seal replacement.
It worked better than expected, caused no other problems, and the "repair" lasted for over ten years, after which he sold the vehicle to someone in China.
@@edwatts9890 how the actual fuck do you people know this stuff. I've been a mechanic for a little over a year and there's still so much to learn and I thought I knew alot
@@calzone9033: Well, get some more time on the job. I am a mechanical engineer, and I have been repairing automobiles -- and trucks, tractors, heavy construction equipment, and a bit of everything else -- for over fifty years, with a fifteen-year hiatus working in the aerospace industry. I recently retired, but I owned a repair shop for the past twenty-five years.
One can learn a lot from workmates and a lot more from reading and actually doing the work. I thought I knew a lot after a year or two. Heh.
Also, clean up your language; customers (and bosses!) don't want to hear that.
Nice job Sam ! Look forward to seeing it all completly finished
Who else can say 'my beater is a Ferrari'?
r u ok
Ratarossa!
I can. I have a 360 spider manual as a daily
The chickens need their own channel
I would totally watch that!!
Why is this not a thing yet? I would totally watch it.
Nice chickens
The chickens can make nests in the broken cars to lay lots of eggs.
I want to see Sam teach the chickens to stay off his cars.
Love this rebuild. Cabt wait for your next. Sam you do it right!!
Very nice car Sam. Hope we get to see the restored interior soon :>
I thought rear main seal leaks were a dealer-installed option.
No. It's factory installed.
Like ball joints on a ford the factory installs the broken ones.
Jake 👆fact!
Its also an option on Porsches and to be fair on any car that's not an EV ;-)
Drive it until it stops. You have spent enough on it. Screw the re-spray. Just drive it and enjoy it.
Love the rebuild and you’re keeping it NICE!!!!!’
I may be repeating what others have said but I'll add; "better the devil you know." You've dug sooo deep into this beauty that any problems after this will be minor in comparison. Short of a fire, that is. Great channel Samcrac! keep at it!
Got Uncle Rich lookin like Roger from American Dad LOL
Sam! Just live with the oil leak and change the rear main seal when you do the clutch next time!!!
That is what I would do. It is only a drip.
@@ShilohRowden Exactly! It's not going to be perfect. He needs to just enjoy it at this point.
Agree
Depends on how bad it's leaking, but yes, if it's minor. This isn't a Camry.
Sam...you have close to a million people living/experiencing their car desires and fantasies, vicariously through you and your excellent channel...This fact alone is proof of your eptitude and excellence in what you do. So dollar value doesn't really matter, you're living your passion and having fun, too...Many thanks...Cj
Wait to do the rear main seal. do it when you need a new clutch. Just check your oil once in awhile
Well you already glued a piece of aluminum to a Ferrari's floor ? Why not add stop leak to the engine oil ? Lol.
I thought the same thing. That fix still bugs me.cram a srick under the carpet as a heatsheild and weld it properly.
That's what I am saying - fuck it at this point - it's worth a shot.
Does his fix in anyway impact the suspension or integrity of the vehicle? That small little area is not going to cause some catastrophic disaster and you'd never know but he's honest and shows everything he does. His rebuilds all seem great to me, and although he takes shortcuts, that's the point of a salvaged vehicle. You can take those shortcuts that do the job but aren't allowed by insurance companies. Stop being so negative. 47k all in for this car isn't bad.
@@mattysmall22 It's a Ferrari, not a Chrysler Sebring.
Finally a conclusion video! whoop, never thought it would come, great job, turned this one around
I have used engine stop leak many times on old 60s-70s trucks and cars with great results. Recently used stop leak on an 80s Corvette with a leaky main seal and it worked.
Finally got caught up, thanks Sam, glad you got it finished at a some what reasonable price!
Dont do the stop leak, get a new clutch and sell the used clutch .
Who's going to buy a used Ferrari clutch?
@@thomprd well then just buy a new clutch and scrap the used clutch.
This is a beautiful car, worth every penny, the sound of that 4 cam V8 with the top down is glorious. Plus it is a Ferrari !
Minus its a Ferrari 😂
@@corwin881 right, cuz what he'd really want is a Corvette, Challenger, or Mustang or some other Dollar Tree "fast" car lol
Honestly the Pioneer D Series component speakers in the front doors made this whole project worth while.
Lol snake oil in a can - never seen the “stop leak” stuff work, if it’s going to stop leak on seals what’s it going to do to your galleries and drive train ?
Only do the clutch if oil has been leaking on to it.
I wouldnt change that seal at all until clutch replacement time
I guess that depends on how much it's leaking. If it's a drop a day, I wouldn't replace it either. If it's leaving even a small puddle, it needs doing.
I really enjoyed watching you rebuild this car. For $50k, you did a great job and I would drive the hell out of it. You made a good call on this one, happy driving!
The shade thrown in the beginning of this video is inspiring.
Rear main seal in a bottle?
If you want other engine issues later..
Is that what you want?
God there is nobody that can tell me Sam doesnt look like Adam Sandler.
@@michaelfoster3871 facts
He looks and sounds like wreck it ralph
He doesn’t look like Adam sandler
he looks like Jim Neighbors. I'm waiting for him to say "gollll eee!"
Sam doesnt look like Adam Sandler.
Sam, I've really enjoyed this F 360 Verde project of yours. The 360s are on my radar so your work was interesting to watch. Thanks for your trouble.
I used stop leak in my 911 turbo and it worked just fine !!! All it dose is recondition the seals and gaskets. I drove it for a few months, then did a oil change ( no more leaks )
5:09 Glad you lug’ed out on those stud bolts! Retail prices are nuts!
Yeah the aluminum is going to look a lot better.
IKR THAT YELLOWING WILL BUFF OUT YOU DAM BUFFOON
The advert 😂I’d it made me laugh 😂
Great work bro hands down good job 👍
22,000 mi and needs everything rebuilt. It is lawn art.
That's a ferrari precision for you
that car just got right in time to a guy like sam to make it nice again, someone drove it good and 'rarris need a lot of care not just makeup
Those cars aint built to actually be driven. 22k miles and the engine and tranny failed. Just saying.
@@dangol6848 It's a 2004, the big issue is it wasn't driven enough nor was it maintained.

He'll then give them a Doug score. 😂
@@bubbie3533 Yup !! Lol
1:04 oh my gad sam that cracked me up 😂😂😂
it seems like a pretty good deal, especially after knowing it's mechanically sound.. i had the same skateboard bearings thought just b4 you mentioned it.. personally, i'd just do a good paint correction & keep it as a daily driver, not having 2 worry about every nick & scratch, until it truly needs it.. i love this car & the color, and would keep it around since i'm guessing w/ the salvage title it doesn't command the value of having a good running/driving 360 spider in you stable of rides.. well done again, sir
Would've pulled whole engine and transmission
Yeah agreed..
Right? Up to where he's at, he would've had a better chance buying one of these Ferrari's from one of those shady used car dealers.
Exactly. He could have pulled it at the beginning, gone through it the right way, and had an easier time of it.
@@alouiciousjackson5812 with the engine out a lot of things would have been easier.
when did Adam Sandler start a youtube channel
😂😂 I am so glad youtubers are friends and make fun of each other. I love the car stuff and the friendly feuds are great satire
Dude,you did a great job.
enjoyed the videos.
When your showing the progress on the Lamborghini?
AND the focus (but yes Lambo first)
I’m sure it’s a giant pain in the ass but I love this car.
Do the clutch and seal, I hope to do a project like this someday. Awesome bro, keep up the good work.
Loved every second of restoration of this beatiful car. Please do a recap of your existing cars in your shop.
You already have a salvaged title with a piece of aluminum used to patch the floor. This car is a driver, not a sought after collectible. I say skip the clutch, try the rear main seal product and simply drive the car. You should be able to find a body shop painter that can do a thorough paint correction for a lot less than a respray. I've seen amazing chip and scratch blending work done on Fantomworks, so it can be done Several hundred dollars? At this point, don't quibble about the cost.
Did you put a number on your labor, or was the 47k just parts and other people’s labor?
He's not including labor other than the ECU programming.
He did not. All this for a 15 yo salvaged title car... terrible buy.
@@woozleboy such as? What repairs of his do you have to fix? The engine is good. Wheels are good. The only suspect issue is that floor which from a structural standpoint isn't going to be a problem anyway? It's a daily driver. He's not taking it out on the track. Let's get a breakdown of every thing you think needs to be redone. I've watched this with guys who repair Ferraris often and although they're slightly more specialized (higher end stuff only) they had no issues. They love his videos.
Matthew Small the wheels a good? Did you not hear him he picked up Chinese specials. $300 for a set of 4 Ferrari sized tires.. With the heavy foot of Adams and the torque of that Ferrari those tires are going to disintegrate and blow up
@@TheSponge945 I didn't say anything about tires. He also said he bought cheap tires and was aware and would buy new ones if he decides to keep the car. The WHEELS THEMSELVES ARE OEM FERRARI WHEELS.
Samcrac, thank you for clarifying the after market carbon look and the logos. I was wondering why the Ferrari looks so horrible. Definitely restore it all back to aluminium!
The 360 is one of my favorites!!
It's as if someone just like you owned that Ferrari before you owned it.
:0)
actually no, he properly maintains his vehicles even if he makes mistakes while doing it....
Without RUclips you couldn't never afford something like this, glad you're doing this for the internet..
I was thinking it would be nice if @Samcrac keep repairing regular cars, not luxury. It may be helpful to more people.
@@cza99 Yes, I agree but thankfully we have youtubers like CrishFix for example whose work can be helpful in a lot of cases :)
@@cza99 he fixes cars he likes and keeps until he decides he doesn't want it. Let the guy live his life lol. Why do you care? Because he has a successful channel and can buy cars you can't? Don't hate, appreciate!
I use that gasket leak seal and it works great! Even used it on my snowblower and sealed the leak!
Definitely try the sealant. And then change the oil afterwards!
What if you've already lost your hair? Do they have "GETS"?
Dead
RUclips must pay very well. I haven’t seen so many commercials in a video before.
Sam, you spent so much time and love on this car you might as well do a good paint on it.
It’s worth it!! You learned a lot saved a lot!! And you are still under budget!! Win and Win!! Plus I loved watching you beat the car into submission [Priceless]
I would not put anything like stop leak in that engine
Dan Newton can you imagine what it’s like to live with this guy? ‘Why is there packing tape on your ceiling?’ ‘Oh that’s just holding up the roof, we had an issue there. People told me to get it fixed but I’m a cheap bastard’.
these videos reminded me why I would never get a Ferrari...not just the cost of the repairs and service, but also the frequency. If it isn't one thing, it's another
If you service them yourself they aren't too expensive. Most parts are made by 3rd party manufacturers and dont cost much from them. You just need to stay on top of maintenance.
@@chrispekel5709 did you not notice all the tools required and the troubleshooting it takes? Plus the space needed and the time required. Truly, and sadly these are bridges too far for such a beautiful looking car. But looks only get you so far. Just put this in the perspective of a gf. Looks are only one aspect, and only gte you so far. You need more than looks in a gf to have a good relationship.
If your rear main is weeping you can use AT-205 reseal into the oil, and if you have access with a spray bottle can spray the product over the outside of the seal as well.
awesome. thank you for sharing.
I like the car, but all the annoying beeps and whistles at start up would drive me nuts
And you should get Ferrari wheel caps for the rims ;)
Hub caps?
badass huh nah the center caps for the wheels
While you’re at it using stop leak coat everything with flex seal. Haha
The stop leak works great on my rear main seal no more oil lost ! It works !!
