Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines like the M177 may develop oil leaks around the valve covers, oil pan, or rear main seal.
Carbon buildup
Direct fuel injection (DFI) engines are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves over time, which can affect performance.
Turbocharger issues
Turbocharged (TC) engines can experience turbo lag, oil leaks in the turbo, or even turbo failure.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in 4-stroke cycle engines can wear out, leading to potential misfires or engine damage.
Cooling system problems
High-performance engines often generate a lot of heat, leading to possible issues with the cooling system such as leaks or radiator problems.
Engine misfires
V8 engines can experience misfires due to ignition coil failures, spark plug issues, or fuel injector problems.
Excessive oil consumption
Some high-performance engines can consume more oil than usual, leading to the need for frequent top-offs.
Check engine light
Various sensors and systems in modern engines can trigger the check engine light, requiring diagnostics to pinpoint the issue.
