The weight of the Z22SE engine according to the catalog is 135 kg. The engine number Z22SE is located on the oil filter housing. The most common problem for owners is the timing chain, specifically its tensioner. The diesel sound under the hood suggests that the tensioner has jammed and the chain is being stretched. If you continue driving with the diesel sound, the camshaft mechanism will be damaged. Antifreeze in the spark plug wells indicates that you have overtightened the spark plugs and the cylinder head has cracked. Before decarbonizing, replace the valve cover due to excessive oil consumption, as often the cause lies in it.
