The weight of the RD28T engine according to the catalog is 235 kg. The RD28T engine number is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. This diesel engine is very sensitive to overheating, often resulting in a cracked cylinder head. The main culprits for uneven engine performance are usually the sensors and their wiring. The glow plug control unit burns out due to its unfavorable placement. When the timing belt breaks, the valves always get bent, so make sure to follow the replacement schedule. After 100-150 thousand kilometers of mileage, the hydraulic lifters usually start to rattle. The sources of oil leakage are the crankshaft seal and the oil cooler gasket. The EGR valve quickly gets clogged with carbon deposits, which you will notice from engine power loss.
