The weight of the 3SZ-VE engine according to the catalog is 95 kg. The engine number 3SZ-VE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The engine is sensitive to the quality of lubrication, cheap oil accelerates its wear several times. When the hydraulic tensioner is loosened, the chain jumps and the valves hit the pistons. During operation in severe frost or heat, air suction in the intake is possible. Due to the design of the pump, lubrication takes a long time to spread throughout the system after starting the engine. The drive belt for auxiliary units wears out quickly, and it is not cheap.
