Problems:
Oil leaks
V8 engines, especially older ones, can develop oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.
Spark plug issues
V8 engines have more spark plugs, increasing the likelihood of misfires and wear over time.
Cooling system problems
The larger engine size generates more heat, which can lead to radiator and cooling system issues.
Timing chain/belt wear
V8 engines have longer timing chains/belts that can stretch and wear out, leading to timing issues.
Fuel injector problems
More cylinders mean more fuel injectors that can clog or fail, affecting engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V8 engines can generate high exhaust temperatures, which can cause the exhaust manifold to crack over time.
Valve train issues
The 2-valve (2V) configuration can sometimes lead to valve train problems, including issues with lifters and rocker arms.
