Engine Overview and Common Failures

Many engine problems stem from overheating, so make sure to monitor the condition of the radiator and pump. Overheating can cause plastic tubes and connectors to crack, leading to leaks. Choosing the wrong oil results in quick wear of the camshaft bearings. The weak points of this engine also include the fuel pump, adsorber, and ignition coils. Gas equipment needs to be properly adjusted or else valve seats will deteriorate.
