Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 575 down

[JOHN ASHBURNE (jashburne]

So the obvious question is what can be done to prevent a fine driver from becoming a parts car?  I know that you are on top of all the conventional maintenance procedures. Is there some unpublished preventive maintenance that you would recommend to other owners should do at , say, 50,000 miles, that would eliminate that catastrophic event?

I am sorry to say there are no pictures to speak of

The drivers side tensioner or drive cam failed which caused a catastrophic failure of that head

It swallowed numerous valves into the intake 

Which caused internal damage 

This type of failure is well known with 550/575 engines when the drive cam fails

Sometimes you get a warning most times not

The car had a recent belt service with Hill bearings 

It had 75506 miles on it

I would keep the car for parts but I am selling it

I have no regrets 

I buy them to drive them!
