Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the M113 engine according to the catalog is 196 kg. The engine number of M113 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main problem of power units in this family is the excessive oil consumption. The main cause of oil consumption is usually hardened oil seals.

The destruction of the crankshaft pulley is also considered a trademark engine failure.
