The weight of the C20XE engine according to the catalog is 136 kg. The engine number C20XE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The most well-known weak point of this engine is the cylinder head, which often cracks. When replacing, it is recommended to purchase a more reliable head produced by Cosworth. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belt, as it can break before reaching 50,000 km and bend the valves. Before the update in 1993, the unreliable ignition system caused many problems. Hydraulic tappets do not like cheap oil and start knocking at around 90,000 km.
