Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 4D55 engine according to the catalog is 183 kg. The engine number 4D55 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. In engines before 1982, the cylinder head cracked near the pre-chambers even at low mileage. After 1982, the cylinder head lasted longer, but the problem remained. Most owners complain about frequent oil leaks from gaskets and seals. In second place is heavy smoking from the engine due to worn injector nozzles. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belt, as its breakage will at least damage the rocker.
