Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 4G61 engine according to the catalog is 155 kg. The engine number 4G61 is located on the cylinder block. Since there are no balancer shafts, the main problem for this engine series is not a threat. Cheap oil quickly damages and causes hydraulic lifters to knock. Pollution of the PCV or throttle body are the main causes of fluctuating RPMs. The timing belt may not reach the expected 90,000 km, and in case of valve failure, it bends. Power unit cushions do not last long here, especially the left one for some reason.
