Just the other day i checked my 07 Ferrari F430 Scuderia i went to gt auto and it said I could do an engimne rebuild i checked and it only had 430 kms on it.
 
Oh dear thats not good, You need to look after it better try not to race the engine to much and have it serviced regulary.
 
Lol I do the oil and all that stuff and just before i checked it I did the grand valley 300km endurance so that could explain why.

You can always do an engine rebuild.
 
Err thats what he is complaing about. :dunce:

Just because you can do it doesn't mean it needs done. Run the guts out of it. Rebuild it when an oil change doesn't restore it to anywhere near the origional HP.
I have a certain FGT that Bob and co. drive that has never had an oil change or a rebuild in approx 25,000 miles. Still has enough power to get the win so I'm not reinvesting any money into the car.

I drove the FGT with 25,000 kms and it could still win the FGT seasonal

Actually im not complaining at all I was just curious if you guys had to do a engine rebuild this quick before.

That's Ferrari dealerships for you. They'll charge you $$$ for a set of floor mats if you let them.

But having a rebuilding service regularly after dozens of races is too costly huh? I suppose you can reduce the frequency of reinforcement of the engine a little bit more, as I usually get it done through a one-time exchange of oil to get the horsepower back to what it was before the races.
 
Engine rebuild is for like 3,000 miles plus. Just do oil changes on premiums.
 
Just keep doing oil changes until the HP stops resetting to it's maximum.
Only at that point should you start considering a rebuild.
