Most common problems:

Overheating

V-shaped engines, especially high-performance ones like the 5.4L SC DOHC V8 in the 2005 Ford GT, can be prone to overheating due to limited airflow and higher power output.

Oil leaks

High-performance engines often have higher oil pressures, which can lead to leaks around seals and gaskets.

Timing chain issues

The double overhead cam (DOHC) setup can sometimes suffer from timing chain tensioner failures or excessive wear, leading to timing issues.

Supercharger wear

The supercharger (SC) in the 5.4L SC DOHC V8 can experience wear over time, affecting performance and requiring maintenance or replacement.

Fuel system problems

High-performance engines often require more precise fuel delivery, which can lead to issues with fuel injectors, pumps, or filters.

Ignition system failures

The increased demands on the ignition system in high-horsepower engines can lead to coil or spark plug failures.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The high temperatures in a performance V8 can cause the exhaust manifold to crack or warp over time.

Cooling system failures

The cooling system components such as radiators, hoses, and water pumps might fail more frequently due to the higher thermal loads.

Sensor failures

High-performance engines rely on numerous sensors for optimal operation, which can fail and cause drivability issues.

Vacuum leaks

The complex intake systems on high-performance engines can develop vacuum leaks, affecting engine performance and idle stability.
