I don't know if what I've heard is true or not...

I've heard that a good part of the Guigiaro Masers left the factory with red cam covers and that a later bunch came out with blue cam covers. I was also told that the red cam covers represent that they were built while Maserati was being run by Ferrari and that they switched to the blue cam covers when Maserati changed hands.

Is this true???
What color are the cam covers on your Maser???

Paco;

Only the Quattroporte Automatic engine has changed to blue valve-covers.

All of the current DuoSelect QPs, and Gransports until production ended were with red valve-covers.

Thanks for clarifying Mark...

spares

In case anyone is interested in having their's done in blue (or a smooth and glossy red lik I had mine done in), I have a spare set of cam covers (stock red) available.

While you're at it, I also have a spare intake manifold cover (black plastic) and a complete intake manifold (goldish stock powdercoat). I had my stock one stripped and polished.

PM me for more details.

not only the QP AT,
you forgot the MC12.

Blue is for the wet sump - Red is for the dry. I suspect the 08 Coupe will have the blue cam covers too.

Red is look a lot better and hotter than blue but I don't mind to have blue cover in MC 12

MC12 has wet sump???

 

[pganmol]

No. MC12 has dry sump. I think they just want the cam cover color to match the car color.

I think the coupe has a really neat engine layout, look so clean compare to QP's.

Is it possible that with the disassociation with Ferrari that the Ferrari Red covers were dumped?

07 QP's with DS still have the red covers. they were not dumped.
