Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The LS7 engine is known for higher than average oil consumption, which can lead to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Valve guide wear

Excessive wear on the valve guides has been reported, which can lead to issues with valve seating and engine performance.

Lifter failure

Issues with the lifters have been noted, which can cause ticking noises and potentially lead to more severe engine damage if not addressed.

Connecting rod bearing wear

Some LS7 engines have experienced premature wear on the connecting rod bearings, which can result in knocking noises and eventual engine failure.

Cylinder head issues

Problems with the cylinder heads, such as cracking or warping, have been reported, which can lead to coolant leaks and overheating.

High rpm valve float

Due to the high-performance nature of the LS7, there is a risk of valve float at high RPMs, which can cause engine damage if not properly managed with upgraded components.
