Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the Mazda F6 engine according to the catalog is 152.9 kg. The engine number of the Mazda F6 is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. Due to a poorly tuned carburetor, the car may consume a lot of fuel. Additionally, many problems with this engine are related to ignition system failures. After 200,000 km of mileage, oil consumption due to worn piston rings is quite common. The timing belt has a lifespan of approximately 60,000 km, but it does not bend in case of valve failure. There are no hydraulic lifters here, and the valves will need to be adjusted every 100,000 km.
