Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the Mazda F2 engine according to the catalog is 177.1 kg. The engine number of the Mazda F2 is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. For carbureted engines, you will need a specialist as they are complex to adjust. Injector versions are more reliable, owners only complain about ignition system failures. High mileage often leads to excessive oil consumption due to piston ring deposits. The timing belt has a lifespan of approximately 60,000 km, but it does not cause valve damage if it breaks. The use of cheap oil will quickly affect the hydraulic lifters, causing them to tick.
