Most common problems:

Overheating

High-performance engines like the Ferrari F 133 A can overheat due to insufficient cooling, often exacerbated by high-speed driving or track use.

Oil leaks

Exotic engines can suffer from oil leaks due to worn gaskets, seals, or improper maintenance.

Timing chain/belt issues

V-shaped engines with 12 cylinders may experience timing chain or belt wear, leading to potential engine misfires or failures.

Fuel system problems

High-performance engines require precise fuel delivery; issues with fuel injectors or the fuel pump can impact performance.

Ignition system failures

Spark plugs, ignition coils, and related components may fail more frequently in high-horsepower engines like the F 133 A.

Valve train wear

The complexity of a V12 engine's valve train can lead to increased wear and potential failure of components such as lifters and camshafts.

Cooling system failures

Radiators, water pumps, and hoses can fail under the stress of cooling a high-performance engine, leading to potential overheating.

Exhaust system issues

High-performance exhaust systems can develop cracks, leaks, or blockages due to the extreme heat and pressure they endure.
