Problems:

Oil leaks
V8 engines, especially older ones like the '87 Camaro, are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and rear main seals.
Overheating
The cooling system can struggle to keep a high-performance V8 engine cool, leading to overheating issues.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum hoses and gaskets can deteriorate over time, leading to performance issues and rough idling.
Ignition system failures
Older ignition systems can develop problems with distributors, ignition coils, and spark plugs, affecting engine performance.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, causing poor engine performance and potential damage.
Fuel delivery issues
The fuel pump, fuel injectors, or carburetor (if applicable) can develop issues, leading to poor fuel delivery and performance problems.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V8 engines can experience cracking in the exhaust manifolds, leading to exhaust leaks and decreased performance.
Worn piston rings
High mileage can lead to worn piston rings, resulting in decreased compression and increased oil consumption.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
These gaskets can fail, causing coolant leaks and poor engine performance.
Sensor failures
Older engines can experience failures in sensors like the oxygen sensor, affecting fuel mixture and performance.
