Part 2 of the Ferrari 348 DIY Major Engine Out Service. The Ferrari 348 requires the engine to be pulled every 3-5 years or 25,000 miles to replace the timing belts. Usually this also entails replacing many other components such as the tensioners, water pump, bearings, and pulleys. Typically this service starts at around $10,000 at most reputable shops, and can easily cost upwards of $25,000. We are going full bore and replacing almost everything that can wear so the engine will be almost as good as new and give Tim many years of use.

In Part 2, we continue to prep the engine for removal by draining the fluids (oil, coolant, brakes) and unfortunately, some of the parts don’t come out easily. The radiator drain plug snaps off and Tim gets a coolant facial. Josh shows us some interesting techniques for removing parts that aren’t cooperating.

Day 9 on the Normal Guy Super Road Trip and it’s the home stretch to Austin from New Orleans. I got to hand out some more Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Gift Cards to some random people making their days. When I got to Houston, some of my friends drove all the way to Austin just to come meet up with me and drive with me on the last leg back home! My friends are amazing!

The Normal Guy Super Road Trip concludes with almost 3,000 miles in only 9 days on my Ferrari 458. I gave away almost $1,000 in Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Gift cards! What an epic road trip this was.

The new Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Premium gasoline has 4 levels of defense to help protect your engine. Up to 70% less gunk, less corrosion, less friction, and less wear! It’s the reason we took this road trip and it certainly has kept my Ferrari running perfectly!

My dog & my best friend DIED in the same week. Life & Channel updates…

Check out the Dan & Meg YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/dannmeg

Unfortunately I’ve been having a rough few weeks. Hobbes was diagnosed with bladder cancer about a month ago. The vet told us that given the circumstances, we had very few clinical options. But they also told us he had probably about 1 year to live. Sadly, Hobbes only lived a few weeks after the diagnosis and was euthanized while we were on vacation. It has been very difficult for Meg and I.

To add to our sadness, shortly after Hobbes passed, one of my best friends from my childhood died. Out of respect for his family I’m not going to discuss this so please do not ask.

I’ve concluded that I need to change a few things on my channel to help it grow, and be a success. This means click bait titles and thumbs may be coming. I also want to do more DIY videos, but I need to have more funding to accomplish this. That means I need YOUR HELP to grow!

Please consider sharing my channel and encouraging people to subscribe. Without your help, I’m going to eventually run out of money and probably will have to stop or significantly slow this channel.

Consider buying my sponsor’s stuff so I can keep doing this.

Day 8 on the Normal Guy Super Road Trip and I head out from Birmingham to New Orleans with stops in Mobile and along the way. I discuss why having a functional stereo system in the Ferrari is important for road trips but best of all, I got to hand out some more Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Gift Cards to some random people, even making 1 person tear up.

I’m a strong believer in helping others when you can, and being given this opportunity to help people by giving out gift cards thanks to Shell has been a joyous experience that really was amazing.

FERRARI F430 Exhaust Headers FAILURE!!!

My F430 Exhaust Headers replacement video: https://youtu.be/5NmZdzba9I8

The Exhaust Headers in the Ferrari F430 are prone to cracking and complete failure. This failure can result in metal fragments being sucked into the engine causing a catastrophic failure resulting in HUGE repair bills, including engine replacement!

In this video I show you what a failed exhaust header looks like once the heat shielding and insulation has been removed. The only viable solution is to replace the headers with aftermarket ones.

Spending 10 HOURS IN A FERRARI | NGS Road Trip Day 7

Day 7 on the Normal Guy Super Road Trip powered by the NEW Shell V-Power NiTRO+ and I begin the journey home. Scot and Meg had to fly home to get back to working their real jobs, so I’m left all alone for the 1200 miles home. It’s just you and me viewers.

We start off in Asheville and head South to Atlanta where 3 of my viewers met up with me at a Shell V-Power NiTRO+ Fill Up. After joining me for lunch and getting some free gift cards, I head out and hit some serious Atlanta traffic. I had to go on a serious detour to avoid some of the traffic but it still slowed me down a bit.

Once past the traffic, I managed to make good time and get in to Birmingham a little early.

He ALMOST set his Ferrari ON FIRE! + Biltmore Mansion Tour | NGS Road Trip Day 6

On day 6 of the Normal Guy Super Road Trip sponsored by Shell V-Power NiTRO+ we continue our 2nd day of rally. First we visit the Bachman collection which unfortunately we could not take any pictures/video.

After that it was time for another Shell V-Power NiTRO+ fuel stop and I put the drone up to catch some cool videos of the Ferrari take over. While there, one of the drivers accidentally left the fuel pump in the car and started to drive off!! Thankfully the pump came out of the Ferrari without any damage.

Finally we visit the Bitmore Mansion and got a tour with Meg providing lots of the information. After the tour we had a lovely dinner and concluded the Ferrari Club of America Biltmore Experience.

Day 6 on the Normal Guy Super Road Trip powered by the NEW Shell V-Power NiTRO+ and the Ferrari Club of America was able to arrange having all of the Ferraris put in front of the Biltmore Mansion for some incredible pictures!

After that, we had another rally and drove the Rattler again, but this time the other way. We drove all the way to Tennessee

Just about all the modern Ferraris were represented including the 599, Superamerica, 348, 355, 360, F430, 458, 488, California, Portifino, FF, 550, and some amazing older Ferraris including the incredible 250 GTO!

We drove the Rattler which is supposedly even more twisty than the famed Tail of the Dragon. It was an outstanding day.
