The weight of the Mazda B1 engine according to the catalog is 112.5 kg. The engine number of Mazda B1 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Carbureted versions of the engine are difficult to tune, but often there is already an analog installed. Versions with fuel injection are more reliable, but often suffer from fluctuating RPMs. On specialized forums, there are complaints about oil leaks and low spark plug life. The timing belt needs to be changed every 60,000 km according to the manual, however, it does not cause valve damage if it breaks. There are no hydraulic compensators, so the valves need to be adjusted every 50,000 km.
