Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 3E engine according to the catalog is 110 kg. The engine number 3E is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. Unstable engine operation can usually be eliminated by adjusting the carburetor. This power unit is afraid of overheating, it often blows the cylinder head gasket. For the same reason, the oil control rings harden here and oil consumption appears. At 150,000 km, the piston rings also become stuck, which contributes to increased oil consumption. There are no hydraulic compensators here, thermal clearances of the valves need to be adjusted.
