Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 5M-GE engine according to the catalog is 180 kg. The engine number 5M-GE is located to the right of the oil filter. The most well-known issue is the quick failure of the hydraulic lifters. The cylinder head needs to be properly tightened, otherwise it will constantly damage the gasket. The main cause of fluctuating RPM is often throttle or EGR valve contamination. Some components of the ignition system also have low reliability. In this engine, the timing chain was replaced with a regular belt, but it does not bend in case of valve breakage.
