The weight of the Mazda B3 engine according to the catalog is 115.8 kg. The engine number of the Mazda B3 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Problems with the ignition system are often discussed on professional forums. In versions with hydraulic compensators, oil saving leads to their failure. Another weak point of the engine is the reduction valve of the oil pump. The timing belt is designed for approximately 60,000 km, but it does not bend in case of valve breakage. On high mileage, oil consumption of around one liter per 1000 km is often encountered.
