Fine-Tuning a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona V12 Engine | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

This Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ is a car that has made an appearance on the channel before, but this time, the focus is on the finer details of making it drive exactly as it should. With its powerful V12 engine and precise steering setup, ensuring everything is working in harmony is no small task.

Iain begins by describing the steering, highlighting the importance of correct setup to achieve the balance and feel that the Daytona is known for. Even the smallest misalignment can affect the car’s handling, so careful attention is given to ensuring it responds precisely as intended.

Under the bonnet, the Daytona’s 4.4-litre Colombo V12 presents another challenge. Not running as smoothly as it should, the investigation begins with checking that all twelve cylinders are firing properly, ensuring full throttle opening, and fine-tuning the carburettors to restore the engine’s characteristic smoothness and power delivery.

With adjustments made, it’s time for a road test. Armed with a notebook and pen, Iain takes the Daytona out to assess how it performs under real driving conditions. Any lingering imperfections need to be identified and corrected before the car is returned to its owner, ensuring that this iconic Ferrari is operating exactly as it should.

This is a detailed, technical look at what it takes to keep a Daytona in peak condition – an essential watch for those who appreciate the engineering and precision behind these legendary machines.
