Other Engine Info
LPG conversion can be accomplished on the engine.
Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, hoses, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake pedal goes to the floor
This can signify a problem with the master cylinder or air in the brake lines, which compromises the hydraulic pressure needed for braking.
Brake fade
Overheating of the brake components can cause a loss of braking power, often due to heavy use or prolonged downhill driving.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat or improper installation can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibration and reduced braking performance.
Engine overheating
V-shaped engines can sometimes have cooling issues, especially if the coolant system isn't well-maintained.
Misfiring cylinders
A V8 engine can experience misfires due to ignition system issues, fuel delivery problems, or faulty spark plugs.
Oil leaks
V8 engines can have gasket and seal failures, leading to oil leaks, which can cause low oil levels and potential engine damage.
Lpg conversion issues
Converting the engine to LPG can introduce complications like incorrect fuel-air mixture, leading to poor engine performance.
Timing chain/belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, leading to potential engine timing issues which can affect performance.
Fuel injector problems
V8 engines with fuel injectors can experience clogging or malfunction, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance issues.
