The weight of the L8-DE engine according to the catalog is 125 kg. The L8-DE engine number is located at the back, at the junction of the engine with the gearbox. The owner's whole life with such an engine is spent struggling with fluctuating rpm. Some are helped by reprogramming, others by throttle modification, but there are those for whom nothing helps. The thermostat is considered a weak point of the engine, often getting stuck. Leaks from under the valve cover and oil getting into the spark plug wells are also common occurrences. There are no hydraulic compensators, and valve clearances need to be adjusted every 100,000 km.
