Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The LS7 engine is known to have higher oil consumption rates, which can lead to low oil levels if not monitored regularly.

Valve guide wear

Premature wear of valve guides is a common issue, leading to increased oil consumption and potential engine misfires.

Valve spring failure

The stock valve springs can be prone to breaking, which may result in engine misfires and potential damage to the engine.

Lifter failure

Hydraulic lifters in the LS7 can fail, causing ticking noises and potentially leading to more severe valvetrain issues.

Piston ring issues

Problems with piston rings can cause loss of compression and increased oil consumption.

Connecting rod bearing wear

There have been reports of premature wear on the connecting rod bearings, which can lead to engine knocking and failure if not addressed.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system may not be sufficient under high-performance conditions, leading to overheating issues.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and misfires.

Throttle body issues

Throttle body problems can cause erratic idling and poor throttle response.

Timing chain wear

Excessive wear on the timing chain can lead to poor engine timing and potential engine damage.
