Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The LS2 engine can sometimes experience higher than usual oil consumption, which can be due to worn piston rings or valve seals.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure if not addressed.

Lifter failure

The LS2 engine is known for lifter issues, where the lifters might fail or become noisy, affecting engine performance and causing potential damage.

Cylinder head issues

The engine could suffer from cracked or warped cylinder heads, leading to coolant leaks or overheating.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, misfires, or reduced fuel efficiency.

Throttle body issues

The throttle body may become dirty or fail, causing erratic idling or stalling.

Cooling system failures

Problems with the water pump, radiator, or thermostat can lead to overheating, which can cause severe engine damage if not promptly addressed.
