The Ferrari 550 and 575m's F133 V12 engines are robust but known for three critical failure modes: cylinder head cracking, timing chain tensioner collapse, and oil pump drive shear. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded internal components designed to address these original failure points - plus a minimum 12-month unlimited...

Thermal cycling causes micro-fractures at exhaust port junctions; exacerbated by aggressive driving or missed coolant service.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Crack Inspection & Repair | £3,500 - £5,500 | £2,200 - £3,800 | Dye-penetrant testing, weld repair of minor fractures, MLS gasket upgrade | Viable only if cracks are superficial; not suitable for through-port fractures |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt / Reconditioned Engine | £18,000 - £22,000 | £12,000 - £14,500 | Complete long-block rebuild with crack-tested heads, upgraded MLS gaskets, bench dyno validation, 12-month warranty | Recommended for through-port cracks or high-mileage engines; prevents recurrence with upgraded components |
Our recommendation
On a Ferrari 550 or 575m valued at £80,000-£150,000, cylinder head cracking is rarely economical to repair in isolation. We recommend a full rebuilt engine with crack-verified heads and MLS gasket upgrades - it addresses the root cause and provides warranty protection that spot repairs cannot match.
