Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The L77 engine is known for excessive oil consumption, which could be due to issues with the Active Fuel Management (AFM) system and piston rings.

Lifter failure

The AFM system can cause premature wear on the lifters, leading to lifter failure and potentially more severe engine issues.

Timing chain wear

This engine may experience timing chain wear, which can lead to poor engine performance and potentially catastrophic failure if not addressed.

Carbon build-up

Engines with AFM technology, like the L77, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to rough idling and reduced performance.

Oil pump issues

Some L77 engines experience problems with the oil pump, which can lead to low oil pressure and engine damage if not corrected.

Overheating

The aluminum construction of the L77 engine can make it prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.

Valve guide wear

Premature valve guide wear can lead to increased oil consumption and engine performance issues.

Sensor failures

Various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) can fail, leading to incorrect engine management and reduced performance.
