Most common problems:

Head gasket failure

The 7M-GTE engine is notorious for head gasket issues due to insufficient factory torque specifications on the head bolts.

Rod knock

Over time, the connecting rod bearings can wear out, causing a knocking noise, especially if the engine has been subjected to high power levels or poor maintenance.

Turbocharger problems

The stock turbocharger can wear out, leading to issues such as oil leaks, loss of boost pressure, and decreased performance.

Idle issues

Problems with the electronic fuel injection system or sensors (such as the idle air control valve) can cause rough or unstable idling.

Crankshaft pulley failure

The crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer) can develop cracks and eventually fail, causing engine vibration and potential damage.

Oil leaks

Common areas for oil leaks include the valve cover gasket, camshaft seals, and front main seal.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system can develop issues such as radiator leaks, water pump failure, or thermostat problems, leading to overheating.

Sensor failures

Various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, coolant temperature sensors) can fail over time, causing engine performance issues and check engine lights.
