It took 15 years to fail, so I'm not going to bother.
I try to leave the hood open after long drives, to let everything cool down.

Can you make a heat shield for it?
And/or wrap the headers?

It's a 2000.
I've had it for 7 years.
18K miles when I bought it and it just hit 38K.
My mechanic has replaced master cylinders on three different 550s

Another minor 550 issue is the master brake cylinder ($475). The seals
will eventually start breaking down
and leaking internally, due to the extreme heat coming up from the left
side header.
The factory put a heat shield around part of the brake booster unit, but
not the master
cylinder, which is hanging out in the open. Symptoms are soft brake
pedal/pumping needed to bring it up.
Bleeding the system doesn't help.
Ask me how I know...

That's what guys don't get they think because they are about to
drop 6 figures they can't bargain like its some kind of in spoken rule !
If someone is selling they want out for what ever reason
Seize on that and make it work for you knowing that you can always
walk away
I am laughing right now at the guys trying to sell 575
Superamericas for $250k
And these are the idiots who bought the car way over sticker
thinking they were going to make a killing
The worst is the poor slobs who bought the 355 spyders, OMG did
they get soaked
Those cars aren't even good cabs in 3rd world countries !
The recent Car and Driver did a thing on the issues with 355 that
everyone should read
The deal right now is a late model 550 with a stick
Pay no more than $50k for one
It's a true bargain and a 12 cylinder car not a whiny 8 !

My my Rob. Well – yes, I really did consider the Fiat-Dino.
1980. When the 246 GTS’ and B’s went out of sight at $20,000 1980 US$ I
lowered my sights to the Fiat-Dino to get the “Ferrari sound.” I poked about,
never seriously, and ended up considering the Fiat-Dino a bit bulbous.
I later completely dropped the idea pf the Fiat Dino
altogether. After that brief episode I considered that my ‘Ferrari” train had
left the station and I’d never be able to get one. With the early 80’s era
came the watch word – “you could never pay too much for a Ferrari – you just
bought it too soon.”
And speaking of soon - not too soon after that, less than a
decade, the goddess Nemesis followed her brother Hubris and Ferrari’s were once
again within reach – but woe unto those who didn’t do their homework for many
new owners found their cars suffered the dreaded disease of the wallet – PO
deferred maintenance. Alas.
It was at this point I jumped in – for a fair price for what we
got – and a 1/3 less than the asking price - - viva being a concours judge and
the hungry dealer who wanted to move this attractive nuisance (you know, all
the lot boys and techs wanted to keep the oil circulated and the battery up)
off his lot.
So in 1995, 2,000 miles from home, I was told by the king car
boss after keeping my personal “Clyde” price unbudgeable – “well, it looks like
you bought yourself a Ferrari.” And that was how we came to own a 1978 GTS. A
shade or two off of correct Rossa Corsa and detectable (get a paint gauge)
filler in the door bottoms – but we’re making a comeback after a year plus.
See you at Colorado Blvd the end of this month. Fingers crossed of course.
