Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The LS3 engine can sometimes consume more oil than expected due to its design and wear over time.

Valve lifter noise

The hydraulic lifters in the LS3 engine may produce a ticking noise, especially if oil pressure is low or lifters are worn.

Piston slap

Cold start piston slap is a common issue, where the pistons make noise until the engine warms up.

Camshaft wear

Premature camshaft wear can occur, particularly if the engine is not properly maintained or if low-quality oil is used.

Cooling system leaks

Due to aluminum components, the LS3 engine may develop coolant leaks, especially around the water pump and radiator.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or faulty fuel injectors can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and rough idling.

Cylinder head gasket failure

Over time, the cylinder head gaskets can fail, leading to coolant leaks and overheating issues.

Throttle body issues

Carbon buildup can lead to throttle body sticking or poor throttle response.

Timing chain stretch

High mileage LS3 engines may experience timing chain stretch, which can lead to timing issues and poor performance.

Idle control problems

The LS3 engine may experience irregular idle due to issues with the idle air control valve or throttle body.
