Engine Overview and Common Failures

The engine weight of B16A according to the catalog is 138 kg. The engine number B16A is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This power unit practically does not have weak spots and is legendary reliable. The only thing is that the cylinder head gasket often fails after a mileage of more than 150,000 km. The timing belt is designed for 100,000 km, and if it breaks, it often bends valves. There are no hydraulic compensators here, and valve adjustment is performed every 40,000 km.
