The weight of the EJ251 engine according to the catalog is 130 kg. The engine number EJ251 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Owners of cars with this engine often complain about high oil consumption. Oil not only burns here, but also constantly leaks from gaskets and seals. Keep an eye on the lubrication level, as a decrease in it can cause bearing damage. The engine has a high operating temperature, and the cooling system is weak. The appearance of knocks in the 4th cylinder indicates that the engine has suffered from overheating.
