Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Oil leaks can occur due to aging gaskets and seals, especially in a V-shaped engine with multiple components.

Overheating

The engine can overheat due to a failing cooling system, which is crucial for a high-performance V12 engine.

Ignition system issues

Problems with the ignition system, such as worn-out spark plugs or ignition coils, are common in older engines.

Fuel system problems

Issues with the fuel injectors or fuel pump can affect engine performance and efficiency.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks can lead to poor engine performance and are common in older vehicles.

Timing chain/belt wear

Wear and tear on the timing chain or belt can cause engine misfires and poor performance.

Sensor failures

Sensors such as the oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor can fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and engine issues.

Transmission issues

The power from a high-brake horsepower engine can cause stress on the transmission, leading to wear and tear.

Exhaust system problems

The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter, can suffer from blockage or damage over time.

Cooling system failures

Radiator, water pump, or thermostat issues can lead to engine overheating, especially in older vehicles.
