Most common problems:

Oil consumption

LS2 engines are known to consume more oil than usual, which can lead to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Valve lifters

The LS2 engine often experiences issues with the valve lifters, leading to ticking noises and potential damage if not addressed.

Cooling system

Overheating can be an issue with the LS2, particularly in high-performance applications, due to inadequate cooling system components.

Oil pressure sensor

Faulty oil pressure sensors are common, which can give false readings and potentially cause engine damage if low oil pressure goes unnoticed.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Timing chain wear

Premature wear of the timing chain can occur, which may result in timing issues and potential engine damage.

Crankshaft position sensor

Failures of the crankshaft position sensor can lead to engine stalling or a no-start condition.

Exhaust manifold leaks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks or leaks, leading to reduced performance and increased emissions.

Throttle body issues

Throttle body problems may cause poor idle, reduced power, and hesitation during acceleration.
