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!
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
Glad to hear the 360 is finally working mostly the way it should.
I want to hear your Alfarrari singing, Jeff
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
Been following the Ferrari saga since the start. Feels amazing to see it running
The first sponsor part of the video that I didn't skip over. Too funny!
Samcrac - The only TH-camr with commercials better than the content!
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 TH-camrs, and it saves me tens of thousands of dollars, and much heart ache every year! Thanks, Sam.
Maybe that fluid on the floor was where the overflow pipe washed the crap off the engine block when it overheated
I love that you just push thru despite things breaking!
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

Woah, don't forget John Ross (WatchJRgo) and his 2009 Audi R8 TTV8.

Hahaha this guy's content is TOP NOTCH! Great seeing our stepmom again!
Good to see your stepmom back at it! Was worried about her!
Lovely to see her finally running Sam.
We need more step mom!
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
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
Awesome meeting the legend himself the other day! Can’t wait to see you conquer this 360
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.
Rich said you would never finish it , But here you are driving it In CGI , Good Job Sam .
Good to see everything is fine. Lots of time between videos this time. Makes for long weeks without samcrac vidoes.
Somehow I know this is rich rebuilds fault
Rich does have a lift.....
Love it how you not only show us the reparations but also the failures and how you fix them again…. Great video 👍😀
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
Sam, we missed you Bro! Good to see you back with more great content!
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
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.
Sam I am so happy you finally got her running ❤️
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.
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 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.
Smooth Sam.. love the Ferrari build and cant wait for the Austin update
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.
I really love the Aston videos so pls provide more updates and bring it back to life
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!
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 TH-camr 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 🤣
A "Slow Down" light in a Ferrari. I love it. Is there a way to keep it on permanently?
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.
As others have already mentioned, probably just thin oil. So long as you take the time to warm the engine before doing power runs, I'd suggest going up one step on the viscosity using a high grade synthetic. You could also do a short oil change with some high mileage oil, just to get some seal conditioner to everything; just change it after 1-2k miles.
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 )
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!
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 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.
You nailed the marketing on this one, specially with the blond girl, lol.
that's his step mom....
Hey Sam I'm going to give you another tip if you're having issues with your evap system maybe it's the canister itself it could be as simple as your mass airflow sensor or your gas cap not being tightened just to let you know Ferrari is very sensitive just talking about it might make it break but that is a very simple solution before you start doing a smoke test on the EVAP system
A good detail and wash would be a nice upgrade : )
Ahh the Ferrari 360 has a special place in my heart too! It was the first exotic car I beat with my C7 lol
TIL: 2 cars known to be HUGE pains in the ass, are in fact huge pains in the ass. Thanks Sam!
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 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.
I was actualy laughing out loud at that sponsored segment, you Sam are a gem !
Nice to see you driving it🤠
I’m still in love with the Green color. it’s too classy
Make sure you put the antifreeze in 🤔
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!
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
I just love seeing that smile on your face while driving the car!
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
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!
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.
Nice to see the car running :) just reminding sometimes water isnt ideal to use for cooling. Coolant fluid boils at 130°C. Some cars "faking" the temp gauges and running at higher temps, at 100°C (emission reasons) and just showing 90°C on the gauge. (2003 VW does that)
Good luck driving the car , thumbs up :)
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.
I love the design feature from Ferrari which gives you a kettle whistle to know when it is overheating. Fantastic.
That's why I've never buy European cars without service records. I'm a used car dealer since 1983.
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.
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.
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.
Have you considered fixing the Oil Temp Gauge? Seeing it sitting a 0 is a little unsettling.
Your stable looks very reminiscent of our own, the only problem is it has 3 horses in it! The whip sounds great. Thanks for the ride along. 😁👍💪💪
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.
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!!
So nice to see your step-mom is doing well
Great job Sam!!! Finally!!! Great to see!!!
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.
My admiration for your patience. 👍
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 😲
Glad you have had luck getting it sorted out. I have gone through similar issues with other European cars and it gets old.
I finally settled on a Lotus; fantastic handling and brakes with modified Toyota based engines. Dependability is almost Camry like, but with a manual tranny option; it is an amazing thing to have your exotic car start every time. I do my own maintenance and the insurance has been cheaper as well. I changed the oil, flushed the brakes and antifreeze and spent about $120 total and a day of my time. Next few years should just be oil changes at about $30 each/year running costs.
You can drive these hard and typically nothing breaks. Ironically, they are relatively rare so it gets more looks then many of the other exotics. You get most of the benefit but in a car that is cheaper to run and holds its value well. I could actually sell mine for more than I paid for it a couple years ago. Something else to consider down the road.
The best advice I can offer is to test drive one .... like nothing else I've ever driven and my favorite so far. Just drove a Porsche 991 and while it was a beast/amazing car, it felt numb and isolating and surprisingly it didn't leave me wanting one ; I prefer my slower but more engaging Lotus. To each their own and there are a lot of great cars out there to choose from.
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
Have you given this car an Italian Tune yet? Usually that fixes and cleans a lot of problems on Italian cars... but it introduces new ones... ;) So happy for you, Sam.
overheating engine causes pressure and this goes through the head gasket forcing the oil to pressurise and force itself out ......
Bro Sam’s commercials are the best on you tube hands down😂😂
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.
Congratulations on the Ferrari! Anxious to hear what happened with the Aston.
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! 😆
I saw the first video with the Ferrari and am so happy to see it finally runs mostly smooth!
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. :)
Love the Step Mom cameo!!
Even though this is a long series, I’ve loved every episode because I always learn something new
reverse press to get the seal on the crank, brace one side aginst the body shell, and the other side to the front main seal....i made one for a car i worked on many years ago.. worked great.. simple to make
Poor Alex. I didn't even know he was having Testosterone issues. It might be from absorbing so much Pentosin into his skin.
Lets help rookies : T-Stat is pithing the water cooling system : if you live in the cold like Buffalo you need water not moving in the engine so it will heat up
once a temp is met the water temp valve should open and allow water flow to radiator for cooling.
Can you really enjoy a car knowing that it can generate a failure just around the corner? I couldn’t.
Same
The fun part is that Sam tries to be lookin’ worried about the Aston Martin, but can’t stop hiding the relief he has because his determination pays finally off. I hope you got plenty of fun with the green machine Sam!
Great to see the 360 ripping around. Hopefully it will hold up for a while. Also, good luck with the Aston. I really hope you can sort it out.
I swear, that hone ad was the funniest thing ever, sam is a funny af guy
You play a wicked game. You could straight up loose your ass. Somehow you pull it all together.
On God
The best Porsche salesman I ever met was Samcrac and his Ferrari.
Anyone else wondering why Sam has a "spare" Ferrari engine and transaxle sitting in front of his 360?
Per owners manual you should not exceed 4000 rpm until the oil is at or above 165-170 degrees Fahrenheit. Roughly the 1/4 mark on the oil gauge. You should put some miles on it and some of the issues will resolve naturally. Especially since this car has not been regularly used.
I promise you your Ferrari will give your years of content for TH-cam
Don't GIVE UP ... Love that CAR !!!
