I will buy this car from you, Sam.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Complete your millions of unfinished projects first.
Sell it
Just finish your others already Freddy, for the love of god
I only jump into my cars now. Doors are overrated.
Looks like Hone is working.
That's legit.
That sh*t must be working. Congrats!
Looked like a smash and dash to me
If the Hone was really working he wouldn't be able to get in through the driver's window.
I'm actually a fake pretentious Ferrari owner .... none of mine work either !
Best Ferrari channel by far! love your videos man!
LoL , sorry man. You’re the real deal.
512 BB my dream car in the 80's. Looking forward to it being alive again
LOL been there!
Glad to hear the 360 is finally working mostly the way it should.
I want to hear your Alfarrari singing, Jeff
Are you and Alex competing for the 'Most Frustrating Car of 21' award?
They sure win the funniest YT commercial 2021 award 😂😂
Bruuh he has been struggling with the Ferrari since 2020 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At this point take it to the Car Wizard
This episodes are getting old
@@Juan_T1 Car wizard next episode buying a new yacht
Woah, don't forget John Ross (WatchJRgo) and his 2009 Audi R8 TTV8.
@@marionelson3264 he’s done
The first sponsor part of the video that I didn't skip over. Too funny!
Samcrac - The only RUclipsr with commercials better than the content!
Hahaha this guy's content is TOP NOTCH! Great seeing our stepmom again!
I love that you just push thru despite things breaking!
Considering the overflow hose was spraying onto the engine, and you had old seals leaking prior to the repair....its very likely the hot water, washed some old oil down the engine block making it look like there is a front main leak, when it was just some old residual oil mixed with hot water.
I'd clean it off as best you can and just watch for new traces.
radiator cap
I think the oil was dropped by the aston that was sitting there earlier.
I was thinking maybe crankase presurising due to overheat giving the oil a bit of as push and the seal being softened?
@@daveblack5109 when he first bought it first-day overfill the oil he didn't know that he had to have the car running to put in oil and check... he over filled oil was every where
he overfilled oil in first episode
Someone should calculate the days it took Sam to "finish" the 360 and compare it to how long it takes Alex to "finish" the CL65. Either way awesome job Sam. Now hop a plane and go help Alex lol
These videos are excellent for me, as they reinforce the idea of getting rid of cars, and not getting any more of them. I was up to 7 at one point, and I spent almost my whole life dong nothing but being a slave to their requirements. So, I sold a bunch of cars, and now I'm down to a '69 911 S, an '82 928 S and a '97 Tommy kaira M20b wagon. Three of the most amazing cars ever made. And that is more than plenty for me!
Now I get my car fix and restoration enjoyment vicariously, through you, and other RUclipsrs, and it saves me tens of thousands of dollars, and much heart ache every year! Thanks, Sam.
Been following the Ferrari saga since the start. Feels amazing to see it running
Somehow I know this is rich rebuilds fault
Rich does have a lift.....
Maybe that fluid on the floor was where the overflow pipe washed the crap off the engine block when it overheated
Great showmanship at the ending. Keep handling everything like a champ.👍
Other things... When cars sit for an extended period of time... Temperature humidity, ECT... Gaskets and seals will shrink. You will have to start and let stuff idle every few weeks to several months... even putt around... easy because a shrunken seal or gasket can develop a permanent leak going too hard.
Oil thins out when hot... Kept at a proper temperature it shouldn't seep out. I would replace the front seal just for the channel in my opinion... If there's no leaks and you plan to keep it for awhile I wouldn't worry about it.
Enjoyed the video keep em coming
Lovely to see her finally running Sam.
We need more step mom!
5 miles for $14,000? The economics of that seems to be about one should expect with a Ferrari like that.
Ok about it 2500 per mile;o )
Awesome meeting the legend himself the other day! Can’t wait to see you conquer this 360
Love it how you not only show us the reparations but also the failures and how you fix them again…. Great video 👍😀
I have a Honda about the same age as this Ferrari. It just ticked over 200,000 miles. It runs reliably every day. I can recount all the maintenance it's had done off the top of my head - normal service (oil/filters/fluids), AC compressor, 1 O2 sensor, front suspension (control arms, ball joints, tie rods etc), engine cooling fans. That's about it, period.
Rich said you would never finish it , But here you are driving it In CGI , Good Job Sam .
Good to see your stepmom back at it! Was worried about her!
This whole 2 year journey has convinced me to never ever buy a Ferarri! Seems like you will just end up spending all your time reparing it!
Just when u run out of funds it doesn't break.
BS, he bought a POS. The moral is don’t buy a cheap beat up Ferrari.
Ferrari learned from Ford: Fix Or Repair Daily! 😆
Ahh the Ferrari 360 has a special place in my heart too! It was the first exotic car I beat with my C7 lol
One day Sam will accidently run that rooster over.
Yeah, I was thinking a shot gun would solve the problem.
🐓 That rooster have the attitude of a RUclipsr with @least 3 million subscribers. 😳😁
And it will be back the next day
@@louisfkoorts5590 lol facts
Running the rooster over 21 times is not an accident 🤣
Smooth Sam.. love the Ferrari build and cant wait for the Austin update
Whenever there's no wood to knock on, I just knock on my own head in recognition of the fact that I am an utter plank
Sam, we missed you Bro! Good to see you back with more great content!
Sam I am so happy you finally got her running ❤️
I really love the Aston videos so pls provide more updates and bring it back to life
wow that car sounds bad ass. ill give you 2 thumbs up from tyler texas. congrats ive waited along time to see you get to drive it. love your channel.
Good to see everything is fine. Lots of time between videos this time. Makes for long weeks without samcrac vidoes.
As cars have become increasingly sophisticated they've introduced more and more points of potential failure, as you get older you realize that tinkering is more fun when it's an option instead of a necessity.
That’s the first thing everyone should do to a rebuilt drivetrain, run it to the redline and then complain when it breaks lol. Makes for good content though
I always redline my cars after an engine-drivetrain repair you want to stress the car to be sure the repair was successful
@@pier11francesco lol.
@@RotNcroch you know engines are not made of glass they are made to rev that high when up to temp right? I don't know what have you worked on in the past or if you ever got up from your smelly chair but ok stranger. lol.
@@pier11francesco easy bud
@@RotNcroch easy champ
The best Porsche salesman I ever met was Samcrac and his Ferrari.
I got sucked down the rabbit hole for ALL of these Ferrari videos. Oh boy - it's not doing much to inspire me to do the whole "buy your dream car" thing!! Either way - you're a hero - for putting this whole thing back together - slowly but surely - and keeping a classic alive.
9:23 I wouldn't replace the new thermostat at all as it seems to be working fine, would be wasting a good part 😃
Plus that Carquest part being made in Israel says it's probably from an OEM and reboxed
Makes a great conversation starter, spent $11 for a Carquest one vs $150 for genuine Ferrari one. 😜
And if it's stuck shut, you can simply check the hose to the radiator - cold? it's shut
You nailed the marketing on this one, specially with the blond girl, lol.
that's his step mom....
A "Slow Down" light in a Ferrari. I love it. Is there a way to keep it on permanently?
Very good video and good job running the channel and videos and "story arcs" as they nearly are now. Can't wait for the Aston video!
TIL: 2 cars known to be HUGE pains in the ass, are in fact huge pains in the ass. Thanks Sam!
Can you really enjoy a car knowing that it can generate a failure just around the corner? I couldn’t.
Same
Great job all the same with getting the Ferrari running. Interesting and informative. Must be a nice feeling to finally wind it out on some nice roads.
You can put the old thermostat in a pot, cover it with water, and bring the temp up to......lol was typing this up as you tested your old one :)
Yup, remove the lowflow 92°C factory one with a high flow 82°C one.
There is so much love there for that car, it is inspiring.
0:31 Imagine the pain and suffering you would have been spared had he only driven it off the front of the carrier instead of the back.
Reminds me of the time I did the clutch on my 98' VR6 , got the clutch decided to check the chain guides, removed the chain decided to do the valve seals, removed the head and did the rings😂 , put it all together with an engine gasket kit and a new clutch!!
I remember the day this car was backed off the trailer....I can't believe it's been 2 YEARs ...wait... this is Samcrac's car... 2 thumbs up Sam!
That's why I've never buy European cars without service records. I'm a used car dealer since 1983.
Make sure you put the antifreeze in 🤔
Every ad agency "creative" needs to call you, Sam, to learn how to build an ad that's actually compelling.
As a viewer,I will watch a funny or interesting add from a channel sponsor.
This add was almost seamless,it felt like part of the vlog.
So much better than the usual, half bald bloke talking about keeps, or a guy with a beard telling me to sign up to the Dollar shave club 😲
Bro Sam’s commercials are the best on you tube hands down😂😂
A good detail and wash would be a nice upgrade : )
If it only leaked oil after overheating, keep in mind that oil thins out with temperature so it would be thinner than normal operating conditions at that point and leak out easier. Also the overheating could have caused some internal pressure somewhere that helped force it out. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it started happening regularly.
I think it's more likely the overheating caused the metal to expand beyond the point where the seal could keep the hole plugged. Different thermal expansion coefficients...
@@nicholasvinen Yeah I think you're right
C'mon Sam, you know the rule with British cars. If its leaking fluids, it means it has fluids. Only worry when it isn't leaking anything! And as for the Ferrari, my guess, like others, that overflow from the coolant cleaned some oil from the top/crevices of the block. While part of me says replace that front seal as a good PM move, I'm also worried that everytime you crack something open to fix one problem, you risk opening up more problems. But really happy to see that 360 on the road under its own power. For many years of my life the 360 was I car I dreamt about too!
i watched this ferrari overhaul like an netflix series.....u reminded me of my honda civic, the pain i took to fix and the love i had for it.... i love ur job, wish i had space like you, i would have tried some hondas and suzuki. Japanese only.
Kudos to you, Sam. It finally works. Well done.
Nice to see you driving it🤠
17:32 Wow, Sam shaved for this drive. This means something! 😁
My 06 Charger RT did the evap leak check engine light and I put my Autel on it and it actually said a very minor evap leak. I snugged up the gas cap before when it first set but it wouldn't clear so I reset it and so far so good. Maybe the cap was loose, maybe one of the vacuum hoses are starting to harden and crack seeing how it's 15 years old. Can't do anything on modern cars without a capable code reader.
You did it Sam! That car sounds awesome. Sounds badass, that Ferrari is solid now. Sadly Rich's channel is going downhill while yours is getting better, thanks again.
Anyone else wondering why Sam has a "spare" Ferrari engine and transaxle sitting in front of his 360?
Love the Step Mom cameo!!
Even though this is a long series, I’ve loved every episode because I always learn something new
Love your videos. Missing them when you are on hiatus.
Holy hell, is it really 2 years since you started this sub-series?! Time flies... I can't even remember what the original problem was with the Ferrari and what were the parts you had to fix in this past 2 years.
Are you sure it was an oil leak and not the overflow just melting some oily dirt from the engine that dropped in the floor?
I remember it wouldn't run, kept cutting out I think
Was the computer problem
The 360 is my favourite ferrari.
Top Gear raved about them when they first came out so it’s still going to be a pretty good car.
I was actualy laughing out loud at that sponsored segment, you Sam are a gem !
I promise you your Ferrari will give your years of content for RUclips
Make your own front seal installation tool. Put a washer the same size as seal, spacer then washer on top and use the crank pulley bolt to install. As you tighten the bolt it pushes in the seal?
harvard wants to know your location
My admiration for your patience. 👍
I swear, that hone ad was the funniest thing ever, sam is a funny af guy
CAT ECU's on F cars are junk even when they are new. Super high failure rate. Pull them, put themin a box and give them to the next owner. Thats what I did.
Good stuff Sam! Thank you
Ive never coveted a ferrari, merc or aston. Ive always coveted the LS. From the 430 and now a 600hL. Such beautiful cars to drive and I feel like Im the man when in them. Especially the 600 which is unsurpassable. 430 with 300k kms and the 600 approaching 150k kms. Nothing wrong with either of them. Running as if new. The 600 with 400kw and 800nm.
I’m still in love with the Green color. it’s too classy
Sam, i really want you to fix this car dude, at this point you deserve this ferrari working more than anyone else who owns one.
You play a wicked game. You could straight up loose your ass. Somehow you pull it all together.
On God
Samcrac: King of the seamless promo.
Tip on the seal. Take a 3/4 drive socket sized to the diameter of the seal and use the crank bolt to gently press it in.
Why does a $300,000 car have a plastic water pump impeller? At the manufacturing level they saved about $2 with the plastic.
If I bought one of these new I'd be ecstatic for saving that $2!
weight.
@@ruk2023--
Probably. It's good they saved that quarter pound. I'm sure the owner is still thankful for that weight saving when he has to replace a $50,000 engine. 😂
With that kinda engineering I can well imagine what other "great ideas" they incorporated into this car.
My guess is they tried to save a $. If the car companies can save a penny over a thousand cars they'll do it. Even if it costs the owners thousands or kills hundreds.
@@Iconoclasher They definitely did it to save money, all businesses want to maximise profits. It's not just the cost of the part they save on. They save on the shipping costs of the car and the shipping of the parts. It's a fraction of a dollar for each one but if you're shipping a 10,000 parts and 10,000 cars all the weight savings translate into real money saved.
"as smooth as a tesla without a V8 engine in it" - nice
You're a blessed man, Sam!!
Love your projects.
Sam is one patient guy. With some of the recurring problems he's had with his cars, I would be tempted to light one on fire and invite the neighbors for a marsh mellow roast!
You need to drive that 360 daily to keep the engine/electrics operating correctly. They go wrong if they just sit there stagnating for weeks on end.
Nice to see the Ferrari running under its own power. Looks great! Good luck with the Aston Martin
Great job Sam!!! Finally!!! Great to see!!!
“The screeching and rattling sounds add to the character of the car” 🤣🤣🤣
Nice to see that car driving around. Looks like an aftermarket exhaust. What kind is it? Also, don't forget to change your cabin air filter. That thing looks pretty dirty. :)
So nice to see your step-mom is doing well
Next step: Sam fixes the speedometer showing too low readings :D
The sound of that engine is like cloud nine for the ears!
Poor Alex. I didn't even know he was having Testosterone issues. It might be from absorbing so much Pentosin into his skin.
Glad to see its not an issue for Cory Chase
overheating engine causes pressure and this goes through the head gasket forcing the oil to pressurise and force itself out ......
Maybe use one of those air bag expanders to push the pulley back on if the frame could help it. Great seeing that green machine!
I was half expecting for them to be sitting in tubs looking out into the sunrise during that commercial.
front crack seal could of been leaking from the car sitting and the seal being dry, once driven and heat cycled the seal was able to be conditioned
Ls swap would of saved you 2 years bud...just saying 👍 always enjoy your content
This proves that with enough hard work anyone can accomplish anything.
I’m going to be honest, I normally fast forward through ads, but that was hilarious
