Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, master cylinders, or calipers, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components, especially during heavy use, can cause a temporary loss of braking power.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Regular wear and tear can lead to decreased braking performance and may cause noise or vibrations.

Engine overheating

V-shaped engines, especially high output ones, can experience cooling issues due to the compact design and high power output.

Oil leaks

Older V-shaped engines may develop oil leaks from valve covers, gaskets, or seals, which can lead to reduced engine performance.

Ignition system issues

The high output engine may put extra stress on the ignition system, leading to problems such as misfires or difficulty starting.

Fuel system problems

Issues with fuel delivery, such as clogged injectors or a failing fuel pump, can affect engine performance and efficiency.

Timing chain or belt wear

Over time, the timing chain or belt in a V-shaped engine can wear out, leading to poor engine performance or potential engine damage.

Exhaust manifold cracks

High output engines can generate significant heat, which may cause the exhaust manifold to crack, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

Vacuum leaks

Older engines may develop vacuum leaks in hoses or gaskets, leading to rough idling, stalling, or decreased fuel efficiency.

Carburetor issues (if equipped)

Older vehicles like the 1987 Chevrolet Blazer may have carburetors that can become clogged or improperly adjusted, affecting engine performance.
