FROM 19 TO 32 EURO: 4 “PRO” TOOLS FOR THE ENGINE, RECOMMENDED BY GALIFFA KART
Regardless of whether it is a MINI or a Senior, Direct Drive or Shifter, if you want to extend the life of your engine, the care and attention you give it are essential. To do this, however, you need the right tools. Some are well known and indispensable for working on the engine in a safe and precise way, such as the torque wrench (also read "Must Have | Which torque wrench should be used for karting? 4 models at a cost ranging from 50 to over 860 Euros"), a set of screwdrivers or a set of feeler gauges. Others, however, are known only by professionals with a capital "P". These are tools designed to simplify and speed up some recurring operations in the management of the engine and its components, such as the carburetor, reducing the margin of error and avoiding damage that can be costly, both in terms of performance and expenses. During our visit to the headquarters of Galiffa Kart (find out more in the article “Once in a Lifetime | Visit to Galiffa Kart by Gianfranco Galiffa: where karting is a family affair”), one of the most successful tuners on the international scene - among the most recent successes we mention the title won in the KZ FIA Karting World Championship 2022 at Le Mans with CRG - we met Elvezio Mercolini, a highly experienced mechanic and nephew of Gianfranco Galiffa. It was he who opened his toolbox for us and showed us some of the “time-saving” and “engine-saving” tools that he uses every day, both in the workshop and on the track.
