Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, such as the AM29, often have complex seals and gaskets which can wear out, leading to oil leaks.
Timing chain tensioner issues
The timing chain tensioner can become weak or fail, causing improper timing and potential engine damage.
Cooling system problems
High-performance engines like the AM29 can suffer from overheating issues if the cooling system is not maintained properly.
Spark plug fouling
With 12 cylinders, there is a higher chance for spark plug fouling, leading to misfires and reduced performance.
Fuel injector problems
Direct fuel injection systems in high-performance engines can suffer from clogging or failure, leading to poor engine performance.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can reduce airflow and engine efficiency.
Sensor failures
High-tech engines have numerous sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) that can fail and cause the engine to run poorly.
Exhaust system issues
The complexity of the exhaust system in V12 engines can lead to issues such as exhaust leaks or catalytic converter failures.
Vacuum leaks
The numerous hoses and seals in a V12 engine can develop vacuum leaks, leading to rough idling and performance issues.
