Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in the V8 engine can wear out, leading to issues with engine timing and potentially severe engine damage if not addressed.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifolds on V8 engines can develop cracks due to the high temperatures they endure, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The intake manifold gasket can deteriorate over time, causing coolant leaks and potential engine overheating.
