The weight of the K8-ZE engine is 167 kg (with attachments). The engine number of the K8-ZE can be found at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. The cylinder block and engine head are made of aluminum and are very sensitive to overheating. Additionally, engines in this series often consume oil after 150,000 km. It is also common to encounter lubricant leaks from under the valve covers at this mileage. The timing belt is changed every 100,000 km, but it usually does not bend in case of a valve failure. The hydraulic compensators do not tolerate cheap oil and may start ticking before reaching 50,000 km.
