Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, particularly those with a high output like the 650 hp supercharged variant, can develop oil leaks from valve covers, oil pans, or other seals due to the high pressure and heat.

Cooling system issues

High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, which can lead to overheating issues if the cooling system is not adequately maintained.

Spark plug fouling

High-performance engines often run richer fuel mixtures, which can lead to carbon buildup on spark plugs, causing misfires or poor performance.

Supercharger wear

The supercharger in the 4V SC (4-valve supercharged) engine can wear out over time, leading to decreased boost pressure and performance.

Timing chain wear

V8 engines, especially those with complex valvetrain setups, can experience timing chain stretch or wear, leading to poor engine timing and performance issues.

Fuel injector problems

High-performance engines require precise fuel delivery, and injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to rough running or loss of power.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The high temperatures in a performance engine can cause the exhaust manifold to crack, leading to exhaust leaks and decreased performance.

Sensor failures

Various sensors (like the MAF, O2 sensors) in high-performance engines can fail due to the harsh operating conditions, leading to check engine lights and performance issues.
