Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the ACK engine.

Engine ACK commonly faces issues like timing chain wear, oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, and ignition coil failures. Diagnosis involves checking for rattling noises at startup (timing chain), visible oil seepage, and misfires or rough idling (ignition coils). Preventive measures include regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil to reduce wear, timely replacement of valve cover gaskets, and inspecting ignition components during routine service. Solutions typically require replacing the timing chain tensioner or chain if stretched, renewing gaskets to stop leaks, and swapping faulty ignition coils to restore smooth running. Early attention prevents costly repairs and maintains engine reliability.
