Oil leaks
The Rolls-Royce V8 engines from this era are known for valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket failures, resulting in oil leaks.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in these engines can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine timing and performance issues.
Fuel system issues
The carburetor or fuel injection system may experience clogging or malfunction, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Ignition system problems
Faulty ignition coils or distributor components in older models can lead to misfires or poor engine starting.
Vacuum leaks
The complex vacuum systems in these engines can develop leaks, leading to rough idling and reduced engine efficiency.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The cast iron exhaust manifolds can crack over time due to heat cycles, causing exhaust leaks and increased noise.
