Excessive piston slap, oil pans which allowed significant oil surge under acceleration thereby starving big eng bearings ...other than that.. it did a reasonable job in a Commodore. On a long interstate trip it was a great motor...

excuse my enthusiasm for the ls motors, i recently bought a 2000 vx commodore wagon, obviously with a ls1 , and after 3 months of driving it i still cant get over how good these motors are, extremely powerful, smooth , very mild manners, but put the boot in and it turns into an animal, anyway i probably should not have even posted this on this forum, just that i do have a range rover and thought it might be ok, apologies to the forum, ls1-2-3 ftw
