Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the SR20VE engine according to the catalog is 165 kg. The engine number SR20VE is located at the junction with the gearbox. This engine is demanding in terms of oil quality due to its complex phase regulation system. The main causes of fluctuating RPM at idle are RHX or DMRV malfunctions. Leaks of lubricant from the crankshaft seal or oil pressure sensor often occur. Around 200-250 thousand km of mileage, the timing chain tends to stretch and start rattling. Since there are no hydraulic lifters here, the valves will need to be adjusted periodically.
