Most common problems:

Oil consumption

Higher oil consumption can be an issue in V-shaped engines, particularly in older models like the 2005 CADILLAC CTS.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain in V8 engines can experience wear and stretch over time, leading to potential misalignment and engine performance issues.

Cooling system problems

V8 engines, especially in performance-oriented models like the LS6, can suffer from overheating issues due to increased thermal loads.

Valve train issues

The complex valve train system in high-output engines like the LS6 can be prone to wear and failure, potentially causing rough idling and poor performance.

Fuel injector problems

High-performance engines often have fuel injector issues, which can lead to poor fuel economy and misfires.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in V8 engines can fail, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.

Exhaust manifold leaks

V8 engines can develop exhaust manifold leaks, which can cause a ticking noise and reduce engine efficiency.

Gasket leaks

The various gaskets in a V-shaped engine configuration can wear out, leading to oil and coolant leaks.
