Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the LV7 engine in the catalog is 98 kg. The LV7 engine number is located at the front where it meets the gearbox. It is a simple and reliable naturally aspirated engine that doesn't have any weak points. On forums, it is mostly praised and the only complaints are about rare electrical glitches. With its fuel injection system and carbon buildup on valves, this unit doesn't suffer. The timing chain is thin, but even with aggressive driving, it stretches after 150,000 km. Closer to 200,000 km, oil consumption can occur due to the oil control rings sticking.
