The weight of the ZL-DE engine according to the catalog is 127.9 kg. The engine number for the ZL-DE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. It is a reliable motor and most of its problems are related to poor maintenance. We recommend not delaying the replacement of spark plugs, as the ignition coils are quite delicate. The timing belt is changed every 60,000 km, but it rarely causes valve bending if it breaks. Valve adjustment is carried out every 100,000 km, as there are no hydraulic compensators. After 200,000 km, oil consumption may increase due to worn oil seals.
