Known Issues
Timing Chain Tensioners:
Pre-2000 AJ-V8 engines had plastic tensioners that could degrade. Later models and engine revisions improved this, but inspection and potential replacement are critical maintenance items for longevity.
Coil On Plug Ignition:
Coil-on-plug ignition system can experience failures, leading to misfires.
Nikasil Liner Issues:
Early AJ-V8 engines had Nikasil cylinder liners, which could be susceptible to breakdown with high-sulfur fuels. Later models switched to aluminum liners with plasma-welded coatings.
Water Pump Seals:
Water pump seals can leak over time.
