Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Older engines, particularly those from the late 1980s, may develop leaks around gaskets and seals due to wear and age.

Overheating

V8 engines, especially those with higher performance, can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.

Fuel injector issues

Electronic fuel injection systems from the late 1980s can suffer from injector clogging or failure over time.

Ignition system problems

High output engines may experience issues with ignition components such as spark plugs, wires, and the distributor.

Vacuum leaks

Aging vacuum lines can develop leaks, causing rough idling and performance issues.

Timing chain/belt wear

If not replaced at recommended intervals, timing chains or belts can wear out, leading to engine performance problems or even catastrophic engine failure.
