Most common problems:

Oil leaks

LSA engines are known to develop oil leaks, particularly around the oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, and rear main seal.

Supercharger issues

The integrated supercharger can sometimes develop issues, such as bearing failure or coupler wear, leading to reduced performance or unusual noises.

Timing chain wear

The timing chains in these engines can stretch over time, leading to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Valve lifter failure

The LSA engine, like many high-performance GM engines, can experience valve lifter issues, which can cause a ticking noise and potentially more serious engine damage.

Cooling system problems

Due to the high-performance nature of the engine, the cooling system can be prone to leaks or failures, particularly with the radiator, water pump, and coolant hoses.

Fuel injector issues

The fuel injectors can become clogged or fail over time, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Spark plug fouling

High-performance LSA engines can experience spark plug fouling, especially if the engine is not driven hard regularly, leading to misfires and rough running.

Pcv system failures

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system can develop issues, leading to oil consumption and potential engine damage if not maintained properly.
