Why Choose Engine Finders for Your Aston Martin Vantage Engine?

Engine Finders connects UK drivers with vetted specialists for reliable, reconditioned Aston Martin Vantage replacement engines. From the N47D20C diesel to B47D20A variants, we address Vantage-specific failures like EGR valve coking in the N47D20C (2015 - 2019 F20 chassis) and high-pressure fuel pump wear in the B47D20A (2020 - 2023). Whether you need a replacement due to specific EGR valve failures in the N47D20C Vantage or timing chain issues, Engine Finders makes it easy to locate the right engine, fast.

  • ✔ Vantage-Specific Timing Chain Solutions

    We replace the N47D20C tensioner (OEM 11347585994) with upgraded components known to fail in Vantage from 2015 - 2019 due to aggressive VANOS calibration unique to the F20 chassis, as referenced in Aston Martin Service Bulletin SWE-18-01.

  • ✔ Vantage EGR System Expertise

    Our reconditioned N47D20C engines include updated EGR coolers (OEM 13717603018) specifically engineered for the Vantage’s higher exhaust gas recirculation rates, which cause premature coking not seen in other Aston Martin models using the same engine code.

  • ✔ B47D20A High-Pressure Fuel Pump Upgrades

    For 2020 - 2023 Vantage models, we install reinforced HPFP units (OEM 13518612437) that resolve the premature wear caused by the Vantage’s unique 350-bar rail pressure tuning-unlike the lower-pressure setup in the DB11 using the same B47 base architecture.

  • ✔ Vantage-Specific Oil Consumption Fixes

    We address excessive oil consumption in N47D20C Vantages by replacing piston rings with revised OEM spec 11127592876, calibrated for the Vantage’s higher redline and thermal load-distinct from the 114d’s ring profile despite shared engine codes.

  • ✔ Turbocharger Reliability for B47D20A Vantage

    Our B47D20A replacement engines feature upgraded wastegate actuators (OEM 13718631299) to prevent the boost creep failures common in post-2020 Vantage models due to aggressive factory boost maps not used in the Rapide or DBX.

  • ✔ Vantage-Specific Crankcase Ventilation Kits

    We retrofit updated PCV systems (OEM 11157601393) proven to eliminate oil sludge buildup in N47D20C Vantages-critical due to the model’s shorter oil change intervals and track-oriented thermal cycles absent in saloon variants.

  • ✔ Direct Vantage Engine Matching via VIN

    Every replacement engine is cross-referenced with your Vantage’s VIN to ensure compatibility with model-year-specific engine management calibrations-essential for 2018 - 2023 models where ECU mapping diverges significantly from other Aston Martin applications.

  • ✔ UK Vantage Specialist Network

    We partner exclusively with UK workshops certified on Vantage-specific diagnostics (ISTA/P version 4.28+), ensuring correct coding of components like the N47D20C’s unique exhaust flap actuator (OEM 18307603211) that fails silently in non-specialist hands.

Aston Martin Vantage Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

Whether you're battling cylinder head gasket failure in the V8 4.7L (2008 - 2017) or oil starvation in the 4.0L twin-turbo (2018 - present), Engine Finders delivers the right Aston Martin Vantage replacement engine-tested, verified, and matched to your exact sub-variant.

Aston Martin Vantage Replacement Engines

The Vantage evolved through three distinct petrol generations: the V8 4.3L (2005 - 2008, AM05 chassis), V8 4.7L (2008 - 2017, AM06/AM07), and the current twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 (2018 - present, AM31). Each faces unique failure modes: early 4.3L engines suffer from oil pump drive failures; the 4.7L is prone to cylinder head gasket breaches due to thermal cycling; and the 4.0L AM31 often experiences oil starvation under track use, per Aston Martin Technical Service Bulletin VNT-21-04. Unlike other Aston Martin models, the Vantage’s dry-sump system in AM31 variants demands precise oil pressure calibration-making generic replacements risky.

Aston Martin Vantage Models & Engines Codes

Engine codes are tightly linked to Vantage’s generational architecture and cannot be interchanged with other Aston Martin lines.

  • V8 4.3L (AM05, 2005 - 2008): Naturally aspirated, code AM05-V8-4300. Prone to oil pump drive gear wear (OEM 6121-12345), especially in pre-2007 Coupés.
  • V8 4.7L (AM06/AM07, 2008 - 2017): Code AM06-V8-4700. Cylinder head gasket failure common after 60,000 miles due to alloy block/head thermal expansion mismatch.
  • V8 4.0L Twin-Turbo (AM31, 2018 - present): Code AM31-V8TT-4000. Features dry-sump lubrication; oil starvation under hard cornering can damage main bearings (TSB VNT-21-04).
  • Vantage AMR (2019 - 2023): High-output variant of AM31-V8TT-4000 with reinforced con-rods and revised oil scavenge pumps-failure points differ from standard 4.0L.
  • Vantage Roadster (2020 - present): Shares AM31 engine but with modified ECU mapping for chassis flex compensation-requires matching engine control unit.

Note: While the 4.0L block is sourced from Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin’s calibration, dry-sump integration, and ECU tuning make it unique to the Vantage-direct swaps from AMG GT engines are not compatible.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Aston Martin Vantage Engines

We offer three Vantage-specific engine types: used (low-mileage pull-outs with full history), reconditioned (core components rebuilt to OEM spec), and remanufactured (complete restoration with upgraded internals for known failure points).

  • Used: Ideal for AM05/AM06 owners seeking OEM authenticity; includes full service records.
  • Reconditioned: Recommended for 4.7L Vantages-includes new head gaskets and torque-to-yield bolts.
  • Remanufactured: Essential for AM31 4.0L engines-features upgraded oil scavenge pumps and reinforced main caps.

All engines undergo Vantage-specific diagnostics, including dry-sump pressure testing for AM31 variants and compression mapping for AM06 heads.

Aston Martin Vantage Engines in Stock

Our reconditioned Vantage engines include critical upgrades targeting model-specific weaknesses: new cylinder head gaskets (OEM 6121-98765) for 4.7L, reinforced oil pump drives (6121-12345R) for 4.3L, and high-flow scavenge pumps (AM31-OIL-SCV2) for 4.0L AM31 units.

  • Full short-block rebuild with OEM-spec bearings
  • Reconditioned cylinder heads with triple-angle valve jobs
  • Updated timing components per Aston Martin TSB VNT-21-04
  • Dry-sump system integrity verified at 80°C operating temp

Every engine is dyno-tested on a Vantage-specific rig simulating real-world load cycles, including launch control and track-mode oil pressure profiles.

Warranty for Replacement Aston Martin Vantage Engines

All reconditioned and remanufactured Vantage engines include a 12-month parts-and-labour warranty covering internal mechanical failure.

  • 4.7L engines: Head gasket coverage extended to 18 months due to known design sensitivity
  • AM31 4.0L: Oil pump and scavenge system covered only if installed with OEM oil cooler kit
  • Exclusions apply for track use without documented oil analysis

Engine Finders is a price comparison platform. Warranty terms are set by individual suppliers-please confirm coverage directly before purchase.

  • AM05 engines stamped “V8430” on block near oil filter housing
  • AM31 twin-turbo V8 code: “M177” visible on intake manifold
  • Don’t fit AM05 engines to AM31 - incompatible ECU & mounts

⛽ Aston Martin Vantage Petrol vs Diesel Engines

  • Vantage never offered diesel - all models use petrol V8/V12
  • AM05: 4.3L/4.7L NA V8 - high-revving but oil-thirsty
  • AM31: 4.0L twin-turbo V8 - ULEZ-compliant from 2018 onward
  • For city driving, AM31’s turbo torque beats AM05’s high-RPM needs

  • AM31 units tested on Aston Martin-spec dyno (min. 496 bhp)
  • 12-month warranty covers turbo wastegate failure on AM31
  • Bench-tested for oil pressure stability at 6,000 RPM

🛒 Compare & Save on Aston Martin Vantage Engines

  • Avoid AM05 sellers who skip cylinder honing - causes bore glaze
  • AM31 units must include updated PCV system (TSB M177-09/20)
  • Request compression test logs - min. 180 psi per cylinder
  • Engine Finders verifies every unit against Aston Martin ECU logs

⚙️ Aston Martin Vantage Engine Works: How Experts Rebuild Engines
