Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The L77 engine is known to have issues with high oil consumption due to its Active Fuel Management (AFM) system.

Lifter failure

The AFM system can lead to premature lifter failure, causing ticking noises and potential engine misfires.

Timing chain wear

This engine can experience timing chain wear, which may result in poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Valve cover leaks

The aluminum construction can lead to valve cover gasket leaks, causing oil seepage and potential engine compartment mess.

Coolant leaks

The engine may develop coolant leaks from the water pump or other cooling system components, leading to overheating issues.
