Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the R20A engine according to the catalog is 110 kg. The engine number R20A is located at the junction of the block with the gearbox. This engine is quite demanding in terms of fuel quality and the type of oil used. It quickly deteriorates the catalyst and burns out the lambda sensors when using poor-quality gasoline. Many Honda owners are irritated by strong valve absorber noises. The engine supports and the timing belt tensioner have a relatively small lifespan. Since there are no hydraulic compensators, it is necessary to periodically adjust the valve clearances.
