GM released the 4.6 Cadillac Northstar Engine in the 1993 Cadillac Allante. Since then just about every Cadillac vehicle has had used them as their power plant. As of now the Northstar has been all but phased out except for the DTS. The Northstar engines since the beginning have had several inherent design flaws.
1. Main saddles get out of round over time and result in low oil pressure.
2. Cylinder head bolts pull out of block due to coolant deteriorating threads and heat.
3. Blown head gaskets.
4. Overheating.
5. Oil leaks.
