Problems:
Oil consumption
High-performance V8 engines like the one in the 2018 Dodge Challenger can consume more oil, especially under aggressive driving conditions.
Cooling system issues
V8 engines generate a lot of heat, which can strain the cooling system, leading to potential overheating or coolant leaks.
Timing chain problems
V8 engines sometimes encounter timing chain issues that can lead to engine misfires or significant engine damage if not addressed.
Fuel economy
High-performance V8 engines are known for lower fuel efficiency, which can be a concern for daily driving and long-distance travel.
Engine knocking
Poor fuel quality or incorrect octane rating can cause knocking or pinging in high-performance V8 engines.
Exhaust manifold leaks
The high temperatures that V8 engines operate at can lead to issues with the exhaust manifold, including cracks and leaks.
Spark plug wear
V8 engines with higher horsepower can wear out spark plugs more quickly, leading to misfires and decreased performance.
Carbon build-up
Direct-injection engines, like those often found in modern V8 configurations, can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance and efficiency.
