The weight of the KA24DE engine according to the catalog is 170 kg. The engine number KA24DE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The engine reliability is excellent, but owners are concerned about high fuel consumption. The timing chain usually lasts up to 300,000 km, but its tensioner can fail earlier. The engine's oil pan is too soft and is prone to damage from impacts, often causing the oil pickup to become blocked. This power unit strictly rejects oils of questionable quality. Since there are no hydraulic compensators here, the valves need to be periodically adjusted.
