The weight of the 3E-E engine according to the catalog is 110 kg. The engine number 3E-E is located at the joint of the block with the cylinder head. This unit easily and quickly overheats, so keep an eye on the cooling system. Overheating can cause a blown cylinder head gasket, hardened seals, and oil seal rings. Closer to 100,000 km, piston rings often get stuck and oil consumption appears. Owners often face issues with the outdated ignition system. And don't forget to periodically adjust the valves, as there are no hydraulic compensators here.
