Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in V8 engines due to worn gaskets or seals, particularly around the valve covers and oil pan.

Overheating

Can be caused by a failing thermostat, water pump, or radiator issues, especially in high-performance engines like the 5.4L 4V.

Spark plug issues

High-performance engines often experience spark plug fouling or wear, leading to misfires and reduced power.

Timing chain problems

V8 engines can suffer from timing chain wear or failure, causing poor engine performance and potential internal damage.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or faulty fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel delivery, affecting engine performance and efficiency.

Exhaust manifold cracks

High-performance V8 engines generate a lot of heat, which can cause the exhaust manifold to crack over time.

Ignition coil failure

V8 engines with individual coil packs can experience coil failure, leading to misfires and rough running.

Cylinder head gasket failure

High-performance engines are more prone to head gasket failure due to increased stress and heat.
