Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the EJ208 engine assembly is 160 kg. The engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Watch the oil pressure, as a drop in pressure often causes bearing rotation. Lubricant consumption is related to both oil consumption and leaks from gaskets and seals. The timing belt is designed for approximately 100,000 km, and in the event of a valve breakage, it always bends. Due to an inefficient cooling system, the engine frequently overheats. Regular engine overheating leads to cylinder geometry distortion and knocking.
